Having both my children go through this service has been a delight, my youngest has developmental delays and all staff have been supportive and caring towards myself and son in helping to build on his development. The low staff turnover definitely proves the family environment and welcoming vibes of knowing you as an individual coming into the service. Highly recommend.

Avoid the kinder room until the bully is removed or appropriately monitored. He bites, punches and bullies and unfortunately it hasn’t been appropriately handled to stop it. Incident forms are absent. The bully still goes although there isn’t adequate support for them. Advice from the educators can be to ‘do what the bully did back’ (flush his hat in the loo). Yes Bec and I’ve had a number of conversations about it. I’ve posted the review as over the course of 6mths there wasn’t a resolution found other than us removing our child. It was a situation that saw a number of other children hurt, not only ours. Please don’t make silly suggestions insinuating that we wouldn’t have respectfully tried to find a solution before making a public review.

Really love the clean, vibrant and colorful environment, with a beautiful outdoor area for the kids. Staff are really friendly and generally show a lot of care of the kids, with key educators implemented to acknowledge the importance of attachment between children and caregivers. Our little one is spirited and needy with allergies (known and unknown), and the team have been overwhelmingly helpful in settling our little one and responding to needs. The team have also been great working with us as parents to accommodate days our little one is there. It’s both a wonderful and sad day when you drop your child off and they are happy to leave you to go to one of the staff there, without so much as a glance back.
