Hostia Childcare Centre 47 Clarence Street, Merrylands, New South Wales 2160

"I would be delighted to write a glowing review of Hostia, an exceptional childcare facility that I highly recommend to any parent seeking the best possible care for their child. First and foremost, the staff at Hostia are truly exceptional. They are warm, caring, and incredibly skilled at working with children of all ages. From the moment you walk through the door, you can feel the love and dedication that the staff has for their work. They take the time to get to know each child as an individual, and work to create a nurturing environment where children can grow and thrive. The center is clean, bright, and spacious, with plenty of room for children to play, explore, and learn. The outdoor play area is particularly impressive, with a variety of equipment and activities that are both fun and stimulating for children. One thing that sets Hostia apart from other childcare facilities is their commitment to education. The center offers a comprehensive curriculum that includes everything from basic literacy and numeracy skills to art, music, and physical education. They also provide regular updates and feedback to parents, so that they can stay informed about their child's progress. Another thing that I appreciate about Hostia is their emphasis on safety. Overall, I cannot recommend Hostia highly enough. It is an exceptional childcare facility that truly puts the needs of children first. The staff is warm and dedicated, the facilities are great,and the education and safety protocols are second to none. If you are looking for a caring, nurturing, and stimulating environment for your child, Hostia is the place to be. Special thanks to my child's educator Yasmine whom she adores"

"I spoke with Mary and scheduled a center tour. I along with my daughter visited the childcare centre in the last week of April 2022 and at the end, I asked Mary to put my daughter's name on the waitlist for toddler vacancy 2022 as they didn't have days availability for 0-2 years. Since then I contacted them at least 3-4 times over the phone to understand the upcoming availability. Every time I was told that my daughter's name is on the waitlist and I shall get a call from them in the coming days. Today, since my daughter is turning 2, I called the centre again. To which a lady said that my daughter's name is not on the waitlist at all. I was shocked to hear that. When I told the centre owner lady that Mary had already put my daughter's name in April 2022! Then she started playing around saying they don't have availability. My Goodness! This has been an awful experience with Hostia. Should I knew they mislead parents by giving duped information, I would have refrained from visiting the centre to putting my daughter's name on their waitlist to wait for such long period with the hope that they were going to contact me soon! Disgusting! I would not recommend this deceiving centre to anyone should they seek genuine information to enrol their children."

"The most kind, caring and nurturing environment. All the educators are wonderful and they take time to get to know your child in order to provide the best learning and development. My boy loves his time there and only took a week to completely adjust to childcare thanks to their warm approach! Highly recommend!"

"Both my children struggled to find comfort and had separation anxiety during other early schooling environments. It was very difficult for myself to be able to find a place which I was confident to leave my children at. Hostia ELC is the perfect learning environment, which gave me the comfort and security I needed. My children who showed great stress at other learning centers were shown great love and care they needed at Hostia, which helped them settle a lot easier. The staff have built a unexplainable bond with my children, which they now show interest and enjoyment during schooling hours. The education system that Hostia ELC has in place is also excellent as both my girls portrayed great improvement in their vocabulary, behavior and also their fine motor skills. If you’re struggling to find a preschool which you feel your child is not feeling the love and care they need, HOSTIA ELC is the answer. Lavinya and Larisa will miss each and everyone in Hostia ELC ❤️"

"A beautiful and clean centre filled with loving and nurturing staff. My daughter has settled in so well at Hostia and has progressed into a new room with a smooth transition. The activities are so engaging and inviting for little minds to explore the wonders of the world. Couldn't recommend them enough. Thank you for creating such a happy space for little ones."
