As a previous educator all I can say is avoid! The Nominated supervisor has to ask their staff to write positive reviews to boost their stars!! There is screenshotted evidence of this. Their reviews are NOT AUTHENTIC. The manager/ approved providers do not have best interest in staffing or children. Run under roof ratio all day every day, leave staff on their own all day most days. Discriminate against staff, allow other staff to be aggressive towards their coworkers and scream at kindy aged children to stay on their beds for two hours and they aren’t allowed to move without any consequences or formal warnings, but when a manager is questioned about their unlawful actions it’s instant termination on that employee. Worked there since 2023 until 2025 and they’ve had a cleaner come ONCE!! Otherwise they expect staff to do this ontop of monitoring the children and doing the day to day normal tasks whilst being with minimum staff maximum children. I was once asked for a statement, then approached that I had a few mistakes and they had to fix it, next thing I know the re wrote my entire statement and asked me to sign it whilst standing over me under pressure and to top it off they said I would’ve forgotten what actually happened due to my “baby brain” (multiple witnesses for this). Ontop of this this centre has MULTIPLE fairwork violations against their employees such as forcing and blackmailing them to pay for their own trainings and completing them in their own time if they can’t make a trainings set date which is against the law which I called out and is why my hours were taken from me. They also let staff know of there roster two business days prior to working that roster which is against their own policy??? The manager has had multiple reports against her and this centre has had multiple department reports for a reason. So definitely Stay clear!!

As a former worker and parent, absolute WORST childcare centre I have ever come across. How the place is allowed to operate on a daily basis is beyond me, I witnessed staff members physically harming children and when reported to the director they would remove them from the room for all of 10 minutes and allow them to continue like nothing happened, safety protocols not being followed, rooms not being cleaned properly, severely understaffed and continuously over ratio. Unqualified staff members left alone to run a room and not to mention half the staff who hadn’t even signed legal contracts, my child got bitten 6 times in 2 weeks and they could not have cared less. I had to demand incident reports because half the time no one even seen the biting happen. Numerous injuries every day that educators would just ignore and not report. If you care about your child’s education and well being I would not even give this place a second thought. Worst childcare centre ever and should be shut down.
