Welcome to Busy Bees on Church Street that is centrally located and designed to support children’s learning and development. Our centre has three classrooms, the Koru room for infants, Totara room for our toddlers and the Kahikatea room for our young children. Children are able to transition through the centre based on their needs rather than age ensuring they feel supported, confident and ready for each next step.
Each environment is nurturing, inclusive and stimulating supporting children to feel safe, valued and confident in their learning. In the Totara and Kahikatea rooms tuakana – teina relationships are encouraged, where older children naturally support and guide younger peers. This reflects Te Whaariki, supporting belonging, Contribution and well being through respectful, reciprocal relationships.
Busy Bees on Church Street operates Monday to Friday from 7:30am to 5:30pm. Our centre offers three welcoming classrooms and a spacious outdoor area that also serves as a learning space. With drop down blinds for weather protection, children can enjoy outdoor play and exploration all year round.
Heart Foundation Enrolled!
Our dedicated cook and centre team is currently striving towards the New Zealand Heart Foundation Tohu Manawa Ora | Healthy Heart Award.
Our inhouse cook provides freshly made meals for children each day using our Nourish menus and recipes. We believe that through nourishing food, children are fueled to thrive physically and mentally, whilst enjoying the benefits of coming together and connecting as a group at mealtimes.
The koru room is for infants and toddlers up to two years old. This room focuses on building secure responsive relationships that promote a strong sense of security, autonomy and resilience. We operate a primary care system, where one teacher is the main provider for each child. This approach supports children to develop greater confidence and self-esteem, reduces anxiety and encourages exploration and resilience. It also supports the development of positive peer relationships and strong trusting connections with adults.
The totara and Kahikatea room is for children approximately two years old to six years old. These rooms focus on building on children’s independence, confidence and self-help skills while providing a thoughtfully designed environment that acts as a third teacher, encouraging curiosity, exploration and confident learning. supporting them to become capable and competent lifelong learners. We offer a ‘Buzz for Learning’ programme for the oldest young children, which provides further opportunities to extend their learning beyond the centre.
