Only About Children St Ives Link Road 23/25 Link Road, Saint Ives, New South Wales 2075

"My granddaughter is currently with this childcare centre, preschool 1/2. We are very pleased with all.the teachers and carers. They're really passionate about what they're doing. We have daily updates of photos and activities to see what our little one was doing. We also received feedback what our little one during mealtimes. When the carer or teacher found that my granddaughter refused to eat what on her plate, they're tried to encourage her to try. They made sure my granddaughter had something healthy to eat as a replacement of her meal. And, we were informed of it. I also pleased to know that the childcare centre has a listening ears to our requests for discussion. They're really striving the best interest for both the children and parents. I highly recommend this childcare centre to parents with young children."

"We are so happy with our experience with Oac St Ives Link Road. The educators are extremely caring and involved. The director of the campus fosters a really warm and nurturing environment for all the children. Lovely facilities, food, experiences and events for the children. Great communication and lots of photos posted from every day. They're also very responsive and open to feedback. You can tell that each of the educators takes real pride in their work and cares deeply about the development of each child."

"If I could give this centre 10 stars I would! The teachers are just amazing. Our two daughters have attended the centre since 2018, they have learnt many things, and more important they grow so happy and kind - the teachers shall take the credit!"

"Beehive was the third childcare centre my elder daughter went to because we were moving suburbs when she was little. The other experiences make me feel confident that Beehive is a very good choice for a family that wishes to provide a structured and nurturing environment for their kids. Beehive offers a wide variety of activities for children and fosters a routine that gives children the consistency they need at this age. The teachers and carers are devoted to developing a stimulating program of activities and keeping children engaged. From painting, cooking, gardening, music, French classes, ballet lessons to a numeracy and literacy program that prepares children for their next adventure at school. My daughter started kindergarten this year and I can see the benefits of the Beehive program. The program isn't just about developing their skills but also fostering positive behaviours and emotions. Children learn how to respect others and be patient towards others, and themselves. Teachers often encourage parents to come in and talk to the children about their traditions, which develops children’s awareness about other cultures and customs. Beehive teachers know every family well and are keen to assist their child’s individual needs. Both of my children have been very keen to go to Beehive everyday and I have always been confident they are being looked after very well, learn a lot and have a great time."

"I first became part of the St Ives Beehive family when my now five year old was two, and my second daughter has been attending since she was four months old. I could not speak highly enough about the quality of care my children have been given, and the educational opportunities they are given access to in their time there. The educators are skilled teachers, but they are also highly compassionate and caring, and they form strong bonds with the children. The app that the centre uses means that you have a constant insight into your child's day, with up to 100 photos being posted per day, along with a narrative explaining what your kids are up to and how that is helping them both developmentally and socially. The staff all know our family well, as well as our extended family who often take part in the Mothers day/Fathers day, Easter and Christmas events, and I have made many long lasting friendships with other Beehive parents. Having now started at school my eldest child is a strong reader, with good social skills and has adapted extremely well to the transition with the solid foundation that Beehive has given her. I am confident that when my youngest graduates to big school she will be armed with the same set of skills. I would highly recommend St Ives Beehive to anyone looking for childcare in the area."
