### null review (5/5)

Our son has been at this daycare for about 18 months now, and we honestly couldn’t ask for a better place. From day one the team made us feel welcome and reassured, and he settled in so quickly.

We really loved the primary carer approach when he was in the under 2's room — it means he’s built a special bond with his teacher, who knows him so well and supports him in such a caring, consistent way. It makes such a difference knowing he’s was people who genuinely cared about him.

The environment is warm, safe, and fun, and every day we can see photos of what he’s been up to. We’ve seen him grow in confidence, independence, and social skills since starting here.

We’re so grateful for the love and energy the teachers put in — it really feels like a second home for him. Would definitely recommend to other families looking for a caring, supportive daycare.  Thank you team

Bumblebees Whitford has been an amazing childcare center for my daughter. She’s always engaged with a variety of activities, both indoors and outdoors, rain or shine. The teachers are kind, caring, and truly nurturing, creating a calm and happy environment. I’m so glad we found Bumblebees—it’s a place where my daughter feels safe, happy, and excited to learn every day!

I could not rate Bumblebees childcare enough - their vision, culture and atmosphere are aligned with core values and great leadership. My kids have developed so well and have been embraced by everyone which makes the centre a warm and welcoming place for learning, exploring and making many friends. A really wonderful place!
