This childcare centre is truly special! The educators genuinely care about each and every child here and take the time to learn about them and their individual interests. The long-standing staff is a testament to the amazing leadership of the centre director Miss Eram who fosters a caring and supportive environment for both children and educators. Seeing the same familiar faces every day creates a real sense of security and belonging. The educators have a genuine love for the children, making them feel valued, celebrated, and encouraged to grow. We couldn’t be happier with our experience here!

The owner of the Guppy’s is a big hypocrite. My son got slapped by a teacher in the class, the owner was so racist and hypocrite that she put the matter under the table and pushed the director to tear off the incident report too. I do not know how many kids are getting abused in her child care. BEWARE parents! The incident happened at Runcorn Guppy’s. My child attended your child care for 4 weeks as this incident happened in the fourth week. 1. The incident was not fully investigated. 2. The teacher who slapped my son , I she still working there? No , because you fired her. Why did you fire her after this incident? 3.no extensive interviews were conducted , no one conducted any interview with us. 4. The Department of child care could not investigate the matter fully as you stated there were no incident report because you shoved the matter under the carpet and forced the manager on duty to delete the incident report. The manager did an incident report in front of me and told me she will email it to me after talking to you. But the reports were deleted and compromised. The Director who called us was so rude and racist. We called you to discuss the matter but your response was so rough and rude and you sounded so racist and hypocritical. BEWARE Parents, we as parents have been through this mentally and still hurt us so badly . The owner is just there for profits and doesn’t care about anything wrong happening in her child care.
Response from the ownerover 1 year agoHi Sonia, we have investigated your complaint and our records indicate the following: 1. your child attended the centre for 1 day in 2019 and when the allegation was raised, it was fully investigated at the time and we have heard nothing further since 2. Once the alleged incident was brought to our attention we conducted a full investigation of all staff, and the Centre Owners also self-reported the matter to the Department of Childcare to investigate. 3. Extensive interviews were conducted with all staff in the centre, and there was no evidence that this alleged incident occurred 4. The Dept. Childcare fully investigated this matter as well and found no evidence that this alleged incident occurred and closed the matter 5. So despite extensive investigation, we have no evidence this very serious incident actually occurred. Best Regards, Guppys Early Learning Centres Owners (who also owned the centre at the time of the allegation)

Guppy's early learning centre is a hidden gem in Runcorn for parents who need child care for their little ones. The staff are all lovely and friendly, my daughter settled in beautifully after a little while and didn't even look back when I dropped off. Eram and Grace are always happy to answer questions, assist you where needed or just have a chat. I can't speak highly enough of Miss Sabiha in the toddler room where my daughter goes, Athena adores her and Sabiha clearly genuinely cares for all of the children in her care and their parents. They're a quieter centre being off the main road and I loved the lower ratio of kids to carers that Athena got to enjoy. I recently moved to a different suburb so I had to, unfortunately, find a new child care centre, but I still take Athena to Guppy's on a Tuesday when I work in the Runcorn area and it's always nice to catch up with the lovely ladies there.
