Our baby Grant have been in this centre for almost a year. We moved here from another suburb. When I first visited here, their kitchen was very clean and tidy, with chefs making fresh and delicious food for the kids. My son was set up just few days. He eat well every day. We send our little one to the centre every morning, and the educators greet us with smiles. they also organizes excursion someday. A lot of fun for the kids. My baby learned a lot here, came back with a lot of new words, and sang to us. Thanks Donika, Natalia, Mary, Trish and all of educators. The little one will move to the kinder room for next few weeks. Appreciate it. I highly recommend it!

I would like to say huge thank you to toddler room educators for making my daughter’s first day so memorable. My wife and I were very anxious about our daughter starting childcare , but the educators did an amazing job in making our daughter feel comfortable and safe. The centre environment looks great and children have various play areas to engage in. I highly recommend it!
