Reviews
"My third son is now attending the centre (12,8 and now 9 months) my first two absolutely loved it and my youngest who is there now has transitioned really well through a very awkward time with Covid and really enjoys the activities and staff in the centre. There are still so many familiar faces even though it’s over 4 years since my middle son went and over 9 since my eldest went there. I am completely happy with all aspects of the care at the centre and could not recommend more highly to anyone looking for care in the area. This review will come under my sons ‘profile’ as he’s hijacked my account lol but as a mother of 3 boys I have a very high opinion of this centre and it’s management! Belinda"
"I have had such a positive experience here. My daughter loves going to childcare, and is always happy at pick up and drop offs. I drop her off confident she is safe and happy in the care of the wonderful educators."
"There some educators who are really good because of who I have given 1 star but most either don't want to be there or do you a favour. There is no management interference when required, I have first hand experienced where my infant and than toddler had to experience negative feelings, we don't always know what they are feeling when they can't form sentences but it worried me sick when he came home and said an educator name and said hurt me, as a parent your heart sinks, in his initial days he came home with bruises on his ankles and arms, must be from holding him too tight or hard but still. There are a number of instances I raised with the initial director and then the new one put us financial hardship by not taking the correct fees and then loading them on us, no response after multiple follow ups, the place is shocking. If I wasn't going through what I did and had options for care, I would have moved him in a heart bit. Worst is no one knew it was his birthday on the day until I went that afternoon with cookies for everyone. When I saw no one knew I took the day off work and took him home. He was there for months before that and I asked them if they normally celebrate and they said we do small things and all kids sing happy birthday etc, so much for his 2nd birthday. If you have a chance to send your kid anywhere else, please do. If your child says something try to understand and believe him. He still talks about that place and still insists in a sentence he was hurt there."
"I send my daughter here and we have been so happy with the care and love she receives! The centre has a real family vibe which was so important to us!"
"Wonderful with my daughter. The educators are accommodating, friendly and understanding of my child's needs. Lots of outdoor nature play too!"
