This is hands down the best daycare in Canberra. My son started at this daycare in January and the improvement of all his milestones has been amazing!! I have watched the highest levels of kindness and encouragement from all the staff. At

Buds and Bees has been an integral part of our girls' lives. The educators are thoughtful, kind, knowledgeable, and patient. The facilities are brand new, safe, and sun-smart, with lots of shady places for the children to play (quite a perk in summer) Our children are given a variety of healthy meals including fruit, and kid-friendly renditions of modern day staples such as curries, stir-fries, and my youngest's favourite, fried rice. The only downside is that one day my children will outgrow this nurturing, safe space, and will only have memories.

I cannot speak highly enough of the this centre. The effort the staff put into not only their curriculum but the every day magic and joy for the children is wonderful. Our daughter runs in everyday with the biggest smile! We get very prompt communication, daily updates through the app and every request/suggestion/feedback to the staff/room leaders has been actioned with kindness and enthusiasm. We are so glad we found this centre 🥰
