Normal Hours

The managers are welcoming and helpful  and so hands on with the kids. The carers I have delt with in the nursing/toddlers area are amazing! And the front desk area smells beautiful!

Couldn’t talk highly enough of the director at this centre. Since day dot she has been welcoming, supportive and nothing short of amazing. You can see the passion she has for the kids and to make the centre the best it can be. It’s so nice to be able to leave my son somewhere I know he’s is going to well looked after.

Do not recommend. The center director is very aggressive and arrogant. If she was the director when we started sending our child here, we would have gone to a different child care, but the director back then was a different person. The program was definitely better with the previous director and the former management. My child used to come back home with a lot of creations which he worked on during his stay at the center. However after the management and the director changed, there have been less structured educational activities happening. The educators were okay. The center seemed clean.

I have been for a tour of the centre and found the director and educators very warm and friendly. The centre director has the children  and families wellbeing at the for front of everything they do. While walking  through I found children engaged with educators and could tell they were happy and well looked after.

I have found Yerrabi Ponds by Busy Bees to be a communicative, caring and educational environment for my child. She has developed in leaps and bounds since attending this childcare. I have peace of mind knowing she is happy at the Centre and will be well looked after. The educators give unlimited cuddles and teach good behaviours as well as regularly rotate in and out different play experiences. The educators always know I want information about my child's eating habits and nap length that day and they always have that information on hand when I pick up my child. Lead educators share detailed stories about my child on Storypark and strive to make visible my child's learning experiences. I have also observed the lead educator documenting how the children are behaving in order to tweak the care program to better suit the children. The Centre Director and 2IC are communicative and transparent about changes at the centre, including educator changes. They share information in the newsletters about how their work aligns with the Early Years Learning Framework and the childcare centre's values. They also know all the children's names and greet the parents warmly everyday!

Our Gungahlin Childcare focuses on child-centered programs, play-based learning, open-ended inquiry, and exploration of the environment. We consider a child’s family to be their first teachers and are collaborators in all we do. We believe the learning environment acts as the ‘third teacher’ encouraging children to investigate and use their imagination and creativity through play. Our environments reflect the image of children as competent and capable learners who yearn to be challenged. We value the importance of outdoor play all year around and are influenced by the quote: “There is no inappropriate weather, only inappropriate clothing”.

Located near the Mulligans Flat Nature Reserve, our Gungahlin Childcare is nestled among parklands and offers our preschool children local walks to the nature reserve to explore and play. We focus on teaching sustainability and respect for the environment through our compost, worm farm, recycling program, and loose parts play. We are committed to supporting children to develop a strong sense of belonging within our day care centre by acknowledging and valuing children’s connections to their family, community and culture. We are proud to hold an annual end of year art show for families where we showcase the children’s achievements and learning throughout the whole year.

We can’t wait to welcome you to our Busy Bees family. We look forward to meeting your family! Book your tour today.
