About Education & Care Service

Education & Care Services are mainstream early learning centres that offer full-day or part-day care with a structured curriculum, qualified teachers, and a focus on learning through play. They cater to families needing flexible childcare options and wanting a balanced approach that supports social, physical, and early academic development in a diverse environment.

Centres can set their own enrolment patterns and may ask for optional charges, but the funded hours themselves should be free of compulsory fees.

The staffs and manager knows how to look after them. I would always suggest all my friends and family to send their child to Busy Bee Ormiston day care 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟.

“Busy Bees Ormiston have been an integral part of the development and growth of my 2 children. I was sad to have to take them out and put them into a different centre as we had shifted houses, no centre in my opinion will compare to the facilities, staff and care at Busy Bees Ormiston. A special mention to Kristine at the front desk who was always a happy, vibrant personality to walk into on drop offs and pick ups!”

“I’m thankful for all Busy Bees has done for my child. We have had our child in daycare since she was about 1 and a half, and it’s been such a journey. From the moment we enrolled her, we saw significant development in how she expressed herself and interacted with other children. As she moved through the classes, she was well looked after and developed great relationships with the teachers. The team there showed our child a lot of love and treated her exceptionally well. We are grateful for all the years of hard work in helping our child be ready for school. Thanks so much to the team at Busy Bees Ormiston.”
