Busy Bees at Armstrong Creek

This news story, "Mum pulls kids from Busy Bees after staff cut daughter’s hair without consent," reports on an incident at a childcare facility. The article, written by Olivia Conder for the Geelong Advertiser on September 7, 2025, details how a mother, Allegra Daly, removed her children from the Armstrong Creek Busy Bees centre. The reason for this drastic action was that a staff member cut her daughter's hair without consent in an attempt to remove slime. The mother alleges that the resulting bald patch was "bigger than two 50-cent pieces," and she is reportedly furious about the situation, which she describes as shattering her trust in the childcare staff.
