  • Manpreet Kaurabout 1 month ago

    All day, the kids are just running around with no proper learning or structured activities. My child comes home extremely tired every single day, not because of fun or engagement, but from being left to play aimlessly outside for hours. There seems to be very little focus on education or meaningful development. Really disappointed with the lack of balance between play and learning.

  • Susan-Ashley Galloabout 2 months ago

    My daughter has attended Astra since she was 8 months, she’s now almost 2.5 years. As a first time parent, I have greatly appreciated Astra being incredibly supportive, patient and understanding throughout each development hurdle. All educators are lovely and genuinely caring. Astra use an app to share photos and updates each day which confirms my daughter has had a good day! Thanks Astra team!

    Astra is truly a wonderful place that cares about the whole child. The staff are just incredible and always kind and caring. They have created an environment that both nurtures and develops. Cannot recommend the centre enough.

    I have been so happy with our experience at Astra. It’s a lovely and clean centre. The educators put so much thought into what they do for the children. Recommend this place.
