Absolutely nothing but good things to say about this center. I was an anxious first time mum having to find somewhere I felt comfortable leaving my son and this center was by far a clear choice. My son is now 3 and loves his days at care. My daughter has now started at the center and I love that we have the exact same educators as when my son started. The staff turnaround is low which has allowed not only my children but myself/husband to form a connection with the staff. Alex, the director has gone above and beyond for us and is always warm and welcoming when coming into the center. The communication via story park and at drop off and pick up has been outstanding across all staff and Nga has been a great support in my sons room transition and within his toilet training. We couldn't have asked for a better center for our babies.

It’s wonderful to know that your son loves his days here and that your daughter is now enjoying the same nurturing environment with familiar educators. We take great pride in maintaining a consistent and supportive team, and it’s amazing to hear that this has helped build strong connections with your family. Alex, Nga, and the entire team truly appreciate your kind words, and we’re so glad that our communication and support have made a difference, especially during important milestones like room transitions and toilet training. Thank you for trusting us with your children’s early learning journey - we absolutely love having your family as part of our community!

The worse place ever I took my kids too. teachers are careless.every single time my kids being there they got sick and heated going there. Guys beware if English is your second language they are very good to Dogge you .they wouldn’t explain you very well and charge you more than what you expect. I would never recommend anyone to go to this place.
Response from the owner11 months agoWe're truly sorry to hear about your experience, Razing. We understand the challenges that families face, especially when English is their second language, and we strive to ensure that every family feels supported and understood. Regarding our fee structure, we understand that it can be complex, especially with the Child Care Subsidy (CCS) involved. These play a crucial role not only in compensating our dedicated educators but also in ensuring exceptional care for all children in our care. Often, factors such as the number of days in care and hours covered can greatly impact your subsidy. We want to ensure that every family clearly understands what they are paying for and feels comfortable with these expenses. We invite you to speak directly with our Family Services team on 1800 222 543, who can help clarify our fee structure and work with you to find a solution that suits your family's needs. Thank you for providing us with your feedback. We are keen to address your concerns and learn from your feedback so we can continue to improve your experience, as well as that of other families in our care.

My children have attended since babies and the staff turn around is low and they care for my children the same way I would. Amazing staff and I love the things my children have learnt and the posts I get of what they do in the day.
