Our learning environments promote play as the basis for children's learning. Children are encouraged to explore, create and engage with their peers. With both indoor and outdoor facilities, children develop in all growth areas.

We’re so incredibly grateful to have found this daycare. The team are not only professional but genuinely caring and personal in their approach. The low staff turnover says everything about the way this centre is run, it’s clear it’s a well-managed, family-oriented business. We've often walked past the daycare on a Saturday or Sunday to find the directors at the centre cleaning and doing maintenance in their own time. Our children absolutely love being there, and it gives us so much peace of mind knowing they’re in such loving and capable hands each day. Thank you for all the hard work and heart you put in, it doesn’t go unnoticed.
Response from the owner10 days agoThank you, Jenna, for such kind words. We care deeply about what we do, and it’s made even more worthwhile caring for families like yours. Knowing your children enjoy being here brings us so much satisfaction and joy. Happy children and happy families are the reason we do what we do, and it means the world to know it’s appreciated! Thank you again for your kind words!

I cannot recommend this fantastic little centre highly enough. My daughter moved here for the Kindy room and when we visited we’d pretty much decided on another centre. But our meeting with Vanessa, the centre director, turned this decision around entirely for us. Her passion for early childhood education and when discussing the space she and her family had designed and built truly shone through. The centre is spacious, well-designed and modern with so many things for little people to enjoy. The centre is truly a family affair with many members of her family involved in various capacities, which gives it a real community feel. We moved from overseas so I was nervous about how my daughter would handle the transition but I could not be more grateful for how the wonderful Kindy educators supported her through. They really got to know her as an individual, evidenced by the report they prepared for her new school where they described her perfectly. I don’t think our first few months in Australia would have been anywhere near as successful without them - they were patient, supportive and fun, carefully designing the best experiences every day and fast becoming my daughter’s favourite people - she will miss them so much. Thank you so much to the entire team at Dolphin Avenue - we’re so sad to say goodbye as we head off to big school. You truly have a wonderful team and centre that you should be immeasurably proud of ❤️
Response from the owner7 months agoHi Victoria. Wow, thank you so much for your amazing review! We're thrilled to hear that you and your daughter had such a positive experience with us at Dolphin Ave. Vanessa and the whole team are over the moon reading your kind words. It was our pleasure to support your daughter through her transition and we're so happy she enjoyed her time here. We'll miss her too! Best of luck at big school and don't be strangers! Cheers, The Dolphin Ave Team
