Nurture One Ray Street Children's Centre 56 Ray Street, Castlemaine, Victoria 3450

"Nature one day care"

"My son started at 9 months and the staff worked incredibly hard to help him settle in. He now loves daycare, and the educators. Communication via the app is great- I can see what he's eaten for the day, when he's had naps and nappy changes and when he's been outside. Daily observations help me to keep up with his learning goals and hear how he's interacting with others. Staff were quick to let us know when problems popped up (he started biting) and allowed us to work on a consistent response at daycare and home."

"My daughter has been going to Ray Street since she was 18 months and she loves it. She has made such sweet little friends and all the staff really seem to understand her and enjoy her company. Now at age 3 she is really into dinosaurs, space and cars - and they make awesome activities around her interests on certain days and it just melts my heart. They really encourage outdoors play, gardening, chooks and all that good stuff too.My 3 year old also probably eats better with the Ray Street cook than she does with us at home. Now starting my second child in the creche and feeling very confident and happy that I can leave her there is very capable hands. Just a note they have a low staff turn over so you really get to know the teachers and they all seem to love their job and the kids."

"My daughter loves going to Ray Street. She has made secure bonds with both staff members and children and enjoys the learning and play based activities. Excited for her day care days each and every time. Staff are friendly and supportive. Couldn't recommend a better place."

"My son loves the staff at Ray Street, they are all very friendly and caring. The children learn gardening skills, how to look after pets (rabbit & chickens), and explore their creative side with various outdoor/indoor games and activities. Highly recommended."
