Reviews
"As a foreign family, it was very hard for us to make the decision of sending our little girl to pre-school. Mostly because she was born during a pandemic in Brazil and struggled with socializing (and because I may be an overprotective mother lol). But one friend of ours recommended Owls Nest and we went for a visit. Antonella loved it from the moment she stepped in there. She felt (we did) very welcomed and we are very confortable with our decision of enrolling her. We did visits for to weeks and she has already changed and developed a lot. She looks forward to "going to school" every day and gets very disappointed when it's not school day! Graham, the owner, is such a nice person. Takes such good care of the kids. Becs is just amazing with all her Portuguese vocabulary :D and her way with the kids. Hayley is also very kind and supportive. It was awesome watch them working during this visiting time and it's so good to know that Antonella will be playing while learning a lot from them, making friends and growing in such a nice environment. This preschool is not overcrowded like others and feels like family to us. They actually want you to feel this way and they know how to make you feel this way! We highly recommend Owls Nest to anyone."
"We have really enjoyed our journey at Owls Nest Preschool, I really enjoy knowing that my son is always having fun and learning things, they have a really open and loving environment ❤️"
"I was very excited to learn that a new preschool was coming to the neighbourhood and we were quick to organise a visit. My husband and I were greeted by the owner, Graham, who was very friendly and welcoming and showed us around the preschool. Everything is very well laid out for the children to encourage both learning and play. The outdoor area is just wonderful with a huge sandpit , wendy hut and a magnificent garden area for the children to explore. We have now enrolled our daughter and are very happy with our decision. She looks forward to preschool every day and loves to tell us about all the things she has learnt with her new friends. The teacher Zena is lovely and our daughter just adores her - we know that she will be looked after properly and will get lots of individual attention. If you are looking for a new preschool, look no further. We highly recommend the preschool! :)"
"We absolutely adore The Owls Nest Preschool! We visited all the early childhood centres in the area before deciding to send our son to the newly opened Owls Nest. As an early childhood teacher myself I was extremely picky- wanting a place that would have routines such as set Kai times and mat times while allowing Malachi to be free to choose activities and phase in and out of these activities as he desired. The owner Graham went above and beyond to accomodate our family's needs, and head teacher Zena was amazing at settling our son in. Zena has a zest for life and such amazing enthusiasm, while being nurturing and assertive. The centre itself is new, with a wonderful outdoor area with lots to offer. Every day our son isn't there he is asking when is his next preschool day! Highly highly recommend!"
