About us

Busy Bees Douglas Street is well established in the Whakatāne community, with strong relationships with families and local support services so we can wrap care around our whānau when it is needed most. Our centre has six individual classrooms catering for tamariki aged 0 to 6, each with its own character and rhythm. Our spacious outdoor environment gives children room to move, explore, play and connect with others. We are proud to have two Montessori inspired classrooms that offer Montessori activities and resources alongside free play, giving tamariki both structure and freedom to follow their interests.

Why Work for Busy Bees?
If you’re passionate about early learning, Busy Bees is the place to be. Although we are part of a global organisation, our company was founded by three families looking for better, more enriching childcare. Three decades later, we still keep the same values at heart.

We know that we couldn’t do what we do without the important people in our teams. We invest in our people and work with them to build career pathways that inspire.
