Busy Bees Ashburton

Messy hands, curious minds, and endless opportunities to learn. Sensory play supports children’s development while making every exploration exciting.

Our cosy social space provides tamariki with opportunities to connect, communicate, and learn alongside one another.
Through shared play experiences, children develop important social and emotional skills, build friendships, and gain a sense of belonging.

Our treasure baskets invite babies to explore a variety of natural and everyday materials, encouraging sensory discovery, concentration, and wonder. Through holistic play, children engage all their senses as they investigate, touch, shake, and explore the world around them.

Behind a simple scarf, a world of laughter, connection, and discovery unfolds.

Creating cosy little spaces for big imaginations. Our new quiet corners and huts give tamariki a place to relax, read, connect, and recharge throughout the day.

Today’s table set ups in the overs 🤍

What started as an invitation became a space full of learning, wonder, and joyful discovery 🤍🤍
