Victoria Chidgeyabout 1 month ago

Cannot rate Bright Steps MacGregor highly enough and I have complete peace of mind while she is at the centre. We moved our daughter here about 5 months ago and she settled in quickly. The staff are engaging, attentive and have the most fantastic activities for the kids. We particularly like the events such as the Diwali celebrations as it is important to me that our daughter has an appreciation and respect for all cultures. Evie has learned so much since she started at Bright Steps and formed close relationships with her educators.
