Kindermusik FAQ

At Busy Bees Music our classes align with the NSW school terms.  We begin in week 1 and conclude in week 9. There is a 3 week break between each term.

Our 2025 Term 2 starts on Monday 28 April and runs for 9 consecutive weeks till Saturday 28 June 2025

The Kindermusik philosophy springs from genuine respect for each child's individual rate of development. Class activities and all supporting materials are designed to honour, support and celebrate the wonderful uniqueness of each child. Classes have overlapping age ranges to help parents accommodate their child's own needs.

The age recommendations of our classes at Busy Bees Music have been carefully constructed to best group children in an age and developmentally appropriate way. Children must be the minimum advertised age of the class you with to join. (For example, to join an Our Time class, your kiddo must already be 15 months).

Yes, we cherish the presence of parents, caregivers, or other adults in all our classes. Your role is incredibly special; you are your child's first and best teacher! Family involvement is at the heart of our philosophy.

We are a floor based, fully adult participatory class that is dynamic, energetic and musical so all of our activities.   This means that you are musicking with us for the entire class. 

Because of the focused nature of our sessions, we are unable to accommodate unenrolled siblings.

We look forward to sharing these magical experiences with you and your little one!

Adult guests are always welcome in our classes - partners, grandparents, aunts, uncles - we love when extended family joins in the fun!

However, due to the dynamic and fully participatory nature of our classes, we can only accommodate enrolled children and their parent or carer in the classroom. Unfortunately, unenrolled siblings and visiting children aren’t able to join the session.

Of course! We offer a preview class, before you enrol officially.  We want you to experience everything that our studio has to offer. 

Depending on when you book your preview, though your preview is either free or paid.

During school terms, preview classses are free based on availability. 

In booking a class over the holiday period though, we do a one class ($24.00) holding deposit.  This means we remove your position from our list of advertised positions, allowing you to preview the class and subsequently enrol directly after your preview.   Should you wish to join us we simply deduct your holding deposit twice from the balance of your fees.  Once as your first class is actually free and twice as you’ve already made a $24.00 payment towards those fees.  If you feel the classes are't a good fit for you an your family, we'll refund your holding deposit at the end of your preview class.  

Absolutely. Busy Bees Music classes are inclusive and designed to support all children — including those who are neurodivergent. Our environment is warm, welcoming, and built around understanding that every child learns and expresses themselves in different ways.

Classes are structured but flexible, allowing children to engage at their own pace. With a parent or caregiver actively participating alongside them, children have the comfort and consistency they need to feel safe while exploring music, movement, and creativity.

We’re here to support your child’s individual journey and honour the way they experience the world.

I’m committed to providing a clean, healthy space for your family — and keeping everyone safe is a shared responsibility.

Here’s how we do it:

Before and after every class, we:

  • Clean and sanitize all instruments and props (always single-use during class)
  • Wash fabric items like scarves and parachutesSteam-sanitize manipulatives
  • Diffuse doTERRA OnGuard essential oils for added air freshness
  • Disinfect all surfaces, including the nappy change area and scales, using Viraclean Hospital Grade disinfectant (proven to kill a wide range of bacteria and viruses, including COVID-19)

Throughout the studio, we provide:

  • Hand sanitizer stations
  • Hospital-grade disinfectant spray and paper towels
  • Wipes, tissues, and paper towel dispensers

Our cleaning practices were alreadythorough before COVID — and we've only added more layers of protection since.

If you or your child are unwell, we ask that you stay home and rest. Makeups are always available to keep things flexible.

We’ll miss you if you need to skip a class due to illness — but we really appreciate you helping keep our space healthy for everyone.

We always recommend prioritising your weekly class and saving catch-ups for true emergencies, as catch-up classes are a privilege, not a guarantee.

Here’s how it works:

  • Catch-ups are managed via WhatsApp.
  • If you miss a class, we’ll add you to a group chat for your child’s age group.
  • You can claim a spot by replying to the post.

It’s a great little system — but it only works if families let us know when they can’t make it. We totally understand that things get hectic, but even a quick SMS (late at night or early in the morning is totally fine!) helps keep things running smoothly.

We totally get the joy of capturing and sharing special moments with your family! You’re welcome to take photos or videos of your own child during class — we just ask that you’re mindful of others.

Many families prefer their children not be photographed or filmed, so please make sure no other children appear in the background or foreground of your shots.

Thanks for helping us keep the classroom a safe, respectful space for everyone — whether sharing with family or posting to social media.
