At our Noarlunga Downs day care, our philosophy focuses on the discovery and exploration of respectful relationships with children. We follow a play-based learning approach where children are given uninterrupted time for play, plenty of freedom, a calm and relaxed environment, cooperative relationships, and our full attention. Our child-led learning programs provide exciting opportunities and challenges for children to play and develop. We nurture individuality, helping each child to move at their own pace, in their own way.

Our Noarlunga Downs child care is proud to be an inclusive community that accepts all children and families. We embrace the cultures, values, interests, needs, abilities and learning styles of our children to provide a welcoming and inclusive environment. We recognise that families are the foundation in children’s growth and development, and we value the importance of collaboration with families as they are the children’s first teachers.

Conveniently located on Lovelock Drive our purpose-built child care in Noarlunga Downs is filled with educational play spaces and state-of-the-art design incorporating natural spaces. Our qualified and experienced Educators and Teaching Practitioners are passionate about giving your child the best start in life.

Service Manager

Hi, my name is Sharon Wardle and I am the Service Manager of Busy Bees at Noarlunga Downs.

I have 24 years of experience within the early education sector and this time, I have gained valuable life experiences that I can share with the children to help them succeed and achieve their goals.

I believe children are confident learners who can lead their own learning journey through play-based exploration. As Service Manager, I aim to build strong relationships with all the children in my care and be available to the families to address any concerns and questions you may have.

It was daunting putting our daughter in day care for the first time, but the staff at Busy Bees went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. Our daughter absolutely loves it. The space is beautiful and we get updates all throughout the day on her progress and activities. The learning environment are bright, fun and inviting. The food menu always looks and smells delicious and the chef does a wonderful job at catering for dietary needs. Highly recommend this wonderful service.

Busy Bees at Noarlunga Downs provides every thing and every opportunity for preschoolers to maximise their potential. My kids have loved going there. The staff and educators are like extended family, and I feel happy and confident with their care. The indoor areas and toys/equipment have always been well maintained and inspirational, and the outdoors areas are beautiful.

This place is amazing. I highly recommend sending your child here. The educators are lovely people, I have had no issues with any of them. There has been great communication about my child's care throughout the whole time he has been there, and any time I wanted to talk to someone about anything, I have always received the attention I felt my issue needed.

My son has been attending for nearly 3 years and he loves it. He has formed really strong connections with staff in each of the rooms he has been part of and they work hard to make transitions smooth as he progresses. I have found all educators treat the kids with warmth and respect.

The staff are wonderful. The centre manager is warm and friendly. The centre is gorgeous. The gardens are just wonderful. I enrolled straight away. It’s a little out of my way, but well worth me travelling the extra few minutes to and from the centre daily.

Busy Bees is an amazing environment for little ones to grow. The staff have always been so welcoming and loving of my little man, and he loves them all in return. He's developing so well since attending Busy Bees, we couldn't be happier and couldn't ask for much more

Such a great childcare centre. All the staff are lovely and inviting, they're always happy to see us. It's always so clean inside. They provide so many great activities and experiences for our little ones. My child loves going so much, if anything I feel guilty on the days they're not at childcare because they always have such a great time! They serve a great variety and quality of food, always smells so good at drop off in the mornings.
