Such wonderful staff who are very hands on. They've helped my son adjust to kindy life and have made him feel at home since day one. He's learnt so much since starting at kindy and has really come out of his shell and started making new friends. The teachers are very helpful and are always there to answer any questions you may have and you always feel so welcomed :)

My children have been attending Busy Bees Carterton for the last 4+years, the care, nurturing and support they have received in this time has really reassured me I chose the best place and people to care for my children when I’ve been studying/working. My children are 2 very different personalities who require different level of encouragement and support and the kaiako have made the extra effort to get to know them separately and support those needs.The team are super approachable and even times of staff changes or relief it has been a seamless transition for the kids. When requiring early drop off/late pick ups even last minute, the manager Mel has been accommodating to these needs. Busy Bees is also community focused and gets involved in as many community events as they can with frequent little excursions to the local school and library.

We have 2 children who have thrived at busy bees over the last few years. Our daughter’s progress is phenomenal and the genuine love and desire from the staff to see her succeed is one of the reasons we love it! Our son has been getting the extra support he needs and the staff as well as teaming up with MoE for centre visits just solidifies our decision. The food is incredible - and the kids always come home happy with full bellies - and they are fussy eaters! The regular updates in trying to align our aspirations and how the centre can enable the kids to meet those is great - and it really makes dropping them off everyday easier! The whole team are fantastic and we really see them as a huge reason our kids thrive and get involved. Couldn’t speak more highly of Busy Bees Carterton!!
