Our childcare in Southern River follows a play-based learning approach where children are given uninterrupted time for play, plenty of freedom, a calm and relaxed environment, cooperative relationships, and our full attention. We believe that play provides opportunities for children to extend their interests and actively engage in their learning through discovery, exploration, investigation and meaningful interactions with peers and educators.

Conveniently located next to Bletchley Park Primary School, our Southern River daycare is a welcoming, supportive and culturally inclusive environment that promotes a sense of belonging. We form strong collaborative partnerships with our families that sees them staying with us from nursery to Kindy. We encourage multi-aged play in our family room and art studio to support the bond between siblings. Children are given the opportunity to extend their learning through the Happy Feet Fitness program on Tuesdays that combines dance, music and the joy of active play (optional paid extra).

Our Transition to School program is led by a Bachelor-qualified Early Childhood Teacher who is committed to getting your child set for their next big steps in school. We work in partnership with you to make their transition to school successful. Our quality learning programs are designed to build resilience, vital social skills and independence, while preparing children with all the essentials they need to take their next big steps in school and life.

We can’t wait to welcome you to our Busy Bees family. We look forward to meeting your family! Book your tour today.

Hayley Couch

Service Manager

Hi, my name is Hayley Couch and I’ve been the Service Manager of Busy Bees on Bletchley for the past 7 years.

I have been in Early Childhood Education for 18 years — working in many different roles: Lead Educator, Educational Leader, Assistant Manager, Trainer and Assessor, and Service Manager.

I’m proud to lead a team of dedicated Educators, many of which have been working at Busy Bees on Bletchley for many years and have moved into leadership roles achieving amazing professional outcomes. I believe that our team makes our day care centre very special. The consistency of quality care is evident in our approach to building bright futures for the children during our everyday practices.

There is always something new to learn and reflect on when being present with children. Children teach us wonderful things and as they grow, we do too. I enjoy my time with the children and stepping away from the office tasks to be a part of the play and learning that happens each day. I still remember each child’s first day and feel a sense of achievement watching the children graduate with confidence.

In my spare time, I soak up moments with my family. We love to travel around Western Australia in our caravan and spend time by the coast — our happy place. We also enjoy going for scooter rides and coffee dates.

Jemma Curtin

Assistant Service Manager

Hello, my name is Jemma and I am the Assistant Service Manager at Busy Bees on Bletchley.

I have a Diploma in Children’s Services and I have been in the Early Childhood and Care industry for over 10 years.

I enjoy working in the Early Childhood and Care sector and getting to see children everyday learning and growing first hand as they flourish, and also the children teaching and sharing their knowledge with me.

At Busy Bees on Bletchley we aim to provide a supportive, welcoming and inclusive environment that feels like a home away from home for our children and families.

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family and scooting around the river, or cooking and baking for my family and friends.

Busy Bees on Bletchley is the most amazing day care I could have asked for. My daughter has been going since she was 13 months and is now just over 3. All of the educators and the Manager are fantastic, could not recommend this day care more.

My son went here for around 7 months before he started school. Within this short period of time the educators took such great care of my son.

A reputable, bright, friendly and happy day care! I was so hesitant initially placing my daughter into day care and have been pleasantly surprised at how the centre has opened my daughter's world in terms of friends, creativity, confidence and imagination.
