Absolutely incredible daycare and kindergarten. It’s hard to choose its best asset - the teachers are next level, warm, dedicated and professional. Donna the centre director is so professional, compassionate, has the support and dedication of all the educators and is constantly making improvements to the centre. While the building isn’t a fancy new centre I much prefer it, it’s got old school charm. The outdoor spaces are second to none - real grass and SO much space! Exactly what my two crazy boys need. My eldest just started school and was so well prepared as a result of the excellent educators and kinder program. And bush kinder in the Briars too!! Got another baby on the way and I know it’s going to be so happy in the nursery. Thanks Craigie Road!!

Communication from the admin team and educators is amazing. We love the large outdoor space here too, that was really important for us. Would highly recommend.

After touring a number of centres in the area, this centre was a stand out for me. What I prioritise in a centre is the level of attentiveness, and genuine engagement from educators to children, and it was clear to see this in each room. There seems to be very low staff turnover across the centre which is reassuring and great to know that the staff are all genuinely happy to be there. And how could I not mention the incredible outdoor facilities. I love that the children are surrounded by nature and natural materials to explore every day. Thank you team.
