    My son has been at this centre since he was 6 months old and he absolutely loves it. The centre is amazing compared to others in the area. Its spacious with a big backyard for play and what I love is the fact that they have a separate area for babies and bigger kids. The management and educators are wonderful with the kids and also listen to feedback from parents. Thank you for supporting us daily and ensuring my child is happy and comfortable and has a safe space to play and grow. I really appreciate all the work the educators and management are currently doing. Keep up the amazing work.

    It's been the first time my little boy is attending a childcare, he has been at Great Beginnings Hornsby since June and I can say after the first weeks of getting settled to this new routine, getting used to the new environment, getting know the educators and all those new feelings and concerns we go through at the beginning of something new, I definitely can say he is very happy going to his "little school". The educators are really nice, kind and friendly. There's things that could be improved like everywhere but I'm sure they are doing they best and doing a good job around there. Communication is great and Misty (the centre managager) always answer your emails and explain everything you need with patient and attention. The educators always give us feedback about the little ones. The App works well and it's good have updates about what's going on during our little ones day.

    New management is not very responsive and professional. She overcharged my account and still couldn't make her to refund. She barely replies email and call you back. Even I've spoke with customer service on their website and have got not any proper answer. Never recommend this childcare.
