We have had nothing but a positive experience with this centre, my husband and I are extremely grateful for the level of care provided to our child. The educators are vibrant, friendly, attentive and very accommodating to our family’s needs. We are first time and full time working parents, we appreciate and love all the updates provided via the App “Xplor” which makes us feel very involved and puts our minds at ease to see photos of the daily activities, meals and changes throughout the day to know our child’s thriving and doing well. We recommend this centre to any family whose looking for a professional childcare centre. Special thanks to all the educators and in particular to Miss Thu, Miss Bella and Miss Vivian, and of course Mrs Cynthia.

Miss Cynthia is amazing, my baby has learned so much and is talking so much more now that she has started here, my baby was attending another daycare and I’m so glad she is going to this one now, definitely worth the switch.
And I love the app xplor, so I can be updated throughout the day, it makes my day so much smoother seeing what she is eating and photos of her being happy and having fun. Thank you Miss Cynthia, Miss Bella and all the other educators.

At Smiley Bees Childcare & Preschool, the children are cared for across three rooms for the different age groups.
6 months - 2 years
Scientific research demonstrates that brain development is strongly influenced by the kinds of early experiences children receive. To achieve their greatest potential, the educators will provide the baby with a variety of interesting learning experiences. The centre’s ‘play with purpose’ philosophy is that the most important way for young children to learn is through play. Children at this age learn by exploring with their hands and mouth. Learning how to use everyday objects is an important development at this age.
2 years - 3 years
The educators believe that children need to be cared for, loved, and encouraged so that they can have a strong foundation in becoming a happy, confident, and capable individual. The team is passionate about creating a welcoming and stimulating environment where children find it enjoyable every day. They see each child as special and unique; their diversity is in each individual’s strengths that contribute to the variety of learning. The educators aim to develop the children’s strengths, assist their emerging skills and support them to further reach their potential.
3 years - 5 years
The children are exposed to a wide variety of challenges and life-long experiences that provide them with the opportunity to expand their knowledge and skills and to socialise and interact with peers at their own age. The educators support the children with a literacy and numeracy focus to ensure they are ready for school and to build a foundation that can further assist them in future learning. The centre aims to build a healthy mind, self-confidence, problem solving skills, creative mindset, and the ability to think critically. Interactive learning and hands-on activities are essential in the development of learning to prepare the children for kindergarten. The carefully planned educational programs are carried out daily by qualified early childhood educators.
At Smiley Bees Childcare & Preschool, the philosophy is to collaborate with families to foster learning for children of all ages through a combination of play and fun activities, where they will always be developing new skills and capabilities. The qualified educators love watching the children grow up, and the smaller size means that they can get to know each child well and truly care for each of them.
At Smiley Bees Childcare & Preschool, parents can enjoy the convenience of all nutritious meals and snacks being provided. The in-house chef works hard to keep each child's brain and body happy and healthy.

In January 2012 the National Quality Framework (NQF) came into effect across Australia.
The purpose of the NQF is to improve and standardise the quality of child care through a
range of measures including better staff to child ratios, higher staff qualifications
and an assessment and rating system designed to promote continuous improvement.
Under the NQF child care services are assessed and rated against the National Quality Standards (NQS).
The NQS measures the quality of early childhood education and care in Australia. It will cover
most long day care, family day care, preschool/kindergarten and outside school hours care services.
Under these standards child care services will be assessed and rated against the
seven quality areas, 18 standards and 58 elements that make up the NQS.
