“An absolutely wonderful start to your child's education. Caring, supportive staff with years of expertise make you feel at home leaving your precious ones in their care. My two sons have attended here and my daughter will start shortly. It's a not for profit centre so it is all about providing the best start for our little ones. Also being a smaller centre each educator knows your child, their interests and importantly, their unique needs. The best part is the preschool is fantastic in terms of school readiness and prepares kids for the transition to primary school in such a thorough way.”

“I wish I could give them 100 stars! When I started looking for a preschool for my son, Honeybee Preschool was my second tour. After meeting the ladies on the first day, I knew this was the best preschool. For the sake of being thorough I toured a few other places but came back here. I cannot speak highly enough of everyone. Mel, Vanessa, Molly, Tameka, Nic and Jess, etc were so great with my son. The ladies are so loving and really treat the kids like their own. Thank you all so much for the love and care you gave both my son and our family. We will never forget you. Lisa Brown”
