Welcome to Busy Bees Church Street

Our tamariki and whānau feel a sense of belonging at Busy Bees Early Learning Centre on Church Street in Palmerston North, and we welcome new families in, to feel right at home too.  We offer nutritious, home-cooked meals, a huge backyard play area for our tamariki.  Our teachers live locally, which supports our strong sense of community and comfortable and welcoming environment. Our centre provides nurturing and stimulating environments for young children with its separate nursery and preschool rooms, as well as areas where tamariki can come together to share tuakana-teina (older-younger child) interactions where wonderful teaching moments are shared. We aim to promote the development and learning of each child, through positive partnership with parents and open communication at all times for family, tangata whenua, whānau, and community. 

Our spacious centre environment offers separate indoor and outdoor areas tailored to each age and stage of learning and development, as well as areas where tamariki can come together to share tuakana-teina (older-younger child) interactions where wonderful teaching moments are shared.

Heart Foundation Awarded!

We are extremely proud that we have received a Whānau Tohu Manawa Ora | Healthy Heart Award from the Heart Foundation for the amazing things we do here to promote healthy food and physical activity.

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. 

Teachers also do regular baking with the children, which provides them opportunities to engage and learn a range of food preparations skills and fine motor movements such as pouring, sifting, spooning. It is a great hands on sensory experience for children to develop independence through self-help skills, practice simple maths as they measure and count quantities. 

We are committed to follow the aspirations of the New Zealand National ECE Curriculum, Te Whāriki. Te Whāriki envisages kaiako in early learning settings working in partnership with parents, whānau and community to realise this vision. The expectation is that, in their early years, children will experience a curriculum that empowers them as lifelong learners, right from their early exploration of the world around them, through to preparation for school.

Testimonials

The teachers are so kind, caring and really treat my child like one of their own. My little man is very much a mummas boy and doesn't want many people to hold him, except for the teachers! He reaches out for them which really shows me he trusts them. This instills so much trust and I am so blessed to have found such awesome people to care for my little man.

Best daycare in Palmerston North. All of the teachers are so lovely and friendly, so clean and my baby is very happy to go Busy Bees. My baby has had a lot of growth and they look after children and their well being very well. Thanks you so much to the Centre Manager and Teachers, you are really awesome!
