    We have two boys that go to GB Gilles Plains. Our eldest started there just after they opened and he is now about to start school. We are so grateful to all the GB team. We have loved our experience there from the excursions to the food to the day to day running of the centre. The calm sounds and senses make pick ups and drops offs a pleasure. GB will always have a special place in our hearts and we would definitely recommend the centre

    My daughter has just started at great beginnings Gillis plains. I am so unbelievably happy with the service so far we are two weeks in. All the staff are amazing and friendly. Jess and Ryan are extremely helpful and responsive to any questions. It was hard for me to send my daughter to childcare so soon, everyday I pick her up she is so happy and I can tell she had a fantastic day. Staff keep you updated through an app so you can see how your child is going. 10/10 experience so far. If you are looking for the perfect centre for your little one I couldn't recommend this one enough.
