OUR EXPERIENCES
Bumble Bee Play House provides experiences for children and their parents and/or guardians to investigate, explore and engage in a range of new and exciting experiences. The opportunity to engage in these experiences can help to develop cognitive, language, social, fine and gross motor skills and sensory development while also encouraging children to challenge themselves during our play sessions.
Cognitive Skills
Language Skills
Social Skills
Social skills are developed when interacting with other people. Children can increase their social skills at Bumble Bee play house by engaging in experiences with other children or adults. Our experiences are set up in a social setting with 4 children at each experience
Fine Motor Skills
Fine Motor skills are used daily, sometimes without even knowing. Doing up buttons, a zipper, writing a letter, cutting up paper or pictures from magazines are just some things we do in our daily lives. Fine motor skills are always changing and become challenging as children grow. Some experiences include: drawing, cutting, puzzles, threading.
Gross Motor Skills
Gross Motor skills are first developed when a child begins to roll, sit up and crawl. When children learn to catch a ball, balance on their legs and also also rolling and pushing on the play dough, children are developing their gross motor skills by using their large muscles in their whole-body.
Sensory Development
Is for all of the 5 senses the body has. Although the experiences will use a range of the senses, the most common one to explore is touch. Bumble Bee Play House will provide a range of hands on messy play experiences such as goop, play dough, slime, water, sand, foam to give children and families the opportunity to explore a range of new play.
Creative Skills
Art and craft experiences give children the opportunity to express themselves through their interests of paints, collage materials, gluing and cutting.

TESTIMONIALS
Family bonding in Bumble Bee Play House.
Having only lived in Berowra for a few months, I'm very grateful for Bumble Bee Play House! We have an incredibly curious and active one year old, who really loves being able to explore new things and roam around, which he is actively encouraged to do at the Play House. Gillian is incredibly welcoming and sets up very relaxed environment for children. There are a fantastic variety of creative activities which cater to a wide variety of ages and interests, and these changes every week. It’s also a great opportunity to meet other parents in the area. I’d highly recommend Bumble Bee Play House We’ll be fans for years to come. Thank you, Gillian
My girls love going to Bumble Bee Play House! Gillian is very caring and so knowledgeable too! Any questions I might have about my kid’s development stages she knows all the answers. Every week she sets up the room with lots of amazing activities! I think the mums secretly love doing them too!
