    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!

    We couldn’t be happier with Bumble Bees! From day one, it has felt like a warm, welcoming, and safe place for our child to grow, learn, and thrive. The teachers are absolutely wonderful – not only are they warm, kind, and encouraging, but they also know how to challenge the kids in all the right ways to support their development. You can really tell they care about each child's individual journey. One thing that stands out is the quality of the food. It's clear that a lot of thought goes into making sure the meals are nutritious and balanced, giving the children the energy they need to stay active and focused throughout the day. There’s also always something fun and engaging for the kids to do, no matter the weather! Whether it’s indoor activities, crafts, outdoor play, or themed learning sessions, the daycare is packed with things that keep our child entertained, stimulated, and happy. We’re incredibly grateful to have found such a fantastic place. It gives us real peace of mind to know our child is in such capable, caring hands every day.

    We feel incredibly lucky to be part of the Bumblebee’s Whitford family. Having had the opportunity to experience each of the three rooms, we cannot speak highly enough of the amazing facilities, daily communications, delicious food, and thoughtfully planned activities that provide our kids with such enriching learning experiences. Our boys come home every day happy, excited, and bursting with stories about their adventures—filled with laughter, and the wonderful guidance from the beautiful Kaiako/teachers. Each Kaiako/teacher has become such an important part of our lives, and we will forever be grateful for the love and support they’ve shown our family over the years. We truly feel that Bumblebee’s Whitford is more than just a daycare—it’s a second home to our boys and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone!

    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!

    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

    I started at Whitford Bumblebees as a teacher in training and had the most amazing support during my studies from all the staff. I have learnt so much and am confident that it has set me up so well for my teaching career. I absolutely love their philosophy and with the centre being Reggio Emilia this suited me so well. Just seeing the children's curiosity and wonder growing before your eyes is to me what teaching ECE is all about. Unfortunately due to a change in circumstances I have had to leave. I will always have a piece of Bumblebees in my heart. I couldn't have asked for a better start to my teaching career.

    Bumblebees Whitford has been our girl's home away from home for almost 4 years and we couldn't be happier to have found Bumblebees. Between our 2 girls they have been a part of all 3 rooms and each room is unique in how it sets up and develops the kids for their next stage in growth and development. All of the staff we have met and that have taught our girls have been amazing. They are genuine, kind, thoughtful and inspirational. I am really thankful that our girls have attended this center. Our girls have thoroughly enjoyed their time there and have made beautiful friendships with the the kids there. Bumblebees has had a wonderful impact in our lives and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this center to anyone looking for a place to care for their children.
