We celebrated my 4yo's birthday at The Busy Bee and had a great time. I appreciated that we could reserve the entire space for a two-hour party, and the kids could run wild and have a blast. It was an ideal spot to celebrate!

A gem in the bay! Busy Bee has been our go-to spot for a few years now. Our kiddo was enrolled in a preschool, now TK - but there are so many teachers in-service days and holidays where his school is closed. We are 2 working parents so having a place to turn for support like Busy Bee is a must. The staff are friendly, caring, and thoughtful. Kids have room to be themselves and have fun, and their days always have fun activities sprinkled in with flexible/free play time. It’s also extra great for rainy days, as they have a great indoor setup for little kids to go wild and get their crazies out instead of being cooped up on the long cold winter rains! Our kiddo loves the mixed age environment, we love the reliability, price, quality and peace of mind. They’re highly responsive anytime I call, text, or email. We’re so grateful to have a place like this in the bay!

We had my daughter's 5th birthday at Busy Bee and it was fantastic! The space was perfect for the kids to run, jump, climb, and roll around. There were lots of different types of things they could choose to do, including toys, things to climb, and even a small jumpy house. The studio space was perfect for the food and cake, and had plenty of space for 20 kids and their parents. Anna, the owner, was great to work with and the whole experience was easy! I would definitely recommend Busy Bee for a birthday party!

My daughter spent a day here for a camp when her school had a day off. She was nervous at first but came home saying how much she loved it and asked to go back immediately! She loved playing in the gym and the crafts. Hours are great too! Full day that goes from 9-5, yes please!!

This is a day camp review. We attempted to use Busy Bee for our 3 year old over winter break so my husband could accompany me to a medical procedure. It was our first time. He dropped him off and immediately was unsure of the situation. He is a very even keeled dad. Doesn’t spook easily. The person in charge had her earbuds in and was on a call, that she told to hold on to check “this boy” in. No warm welcome. No sweet transition. It was an open room with a lot of kids. There was only one other adult. About 30+ kids. He met me at the doctors and was anxious to get back and pick him up early. When we got back, it was super loud. Still only 2 adults for what seemed like 30+ kids. As we were packing him up, we observed the instructor in charge somewhat aggressively counting down and instructing the kids to sit on the mat. Calling out individual kids angrily. Gave us both the sense that she was low key hostile and annoyed to be there. Again, zero warmth. Zero sweetness. She was still on her earbuds and phone. The entire time. Just telling whomever was on the other end to hold while she went through motions. All in all, we loved the idea and premise of the center. But the execution left us uncomfortable. We paid for a whole day and kept him there for 90 minutes. Do not recommend this center for actual childcare. Hopefully just an off day for her but won’t be returning. Wanted to leave this review for other parents interested in the camps or care vs rentals of the space.
