Barbie’s Busy Bees

Barbie's busy bees logo

Hiya, I am a fun loving individual that provides a home from home experience. I live with my husband, Doug the dog, Oliver the cat and my two gorgeous children. I enjoy the outdoors and love getting just as mucky in the mud as the children. All children will be treated the same and cared for as I would my own. I have a large indoor play room and also a large garden with lots for the children to play with.

We do lots of engaging activities that help the children learn and grow ready for school, we do cooking, reading, storytelling, nursery rhymes, tuff trays, trips to the local community, the park, baby and toddler groups, arts & crafts.

I use the Kinderly app where I log daily diaries of what we’ve been up to, you can download the Parent app to follow their journey.
