The head of everything, Mrs Vija, doesn't care for her employees health. Mental Health, physical health etc. The employees talk about each other like we're in Highschool. I struggled with mental health during my employment. She made me feel uncomfortable to work there ever again. She told me if I didn't come in that she would find someone to take my job so I didn't. She continued to put job abandonment on my files. There's more but that's what bothered me the most. I just want to put it out there so upcoming staff know what they're getting themselves into.

I have used this provider for more than 6 months

My daughter has been going to Buzzing Bees for over a year now. We absolutely love the facility, it is safe, clean and child friendly. The stuff is amazing and Vija the school director is the best. My daughter has learnt so much she started school here.
