Our little one has been with them since 1 year old. She loves it so much. The staff have been nice and friendly. The centre has managed to keep staff in the last few years, even though with the change of management. The centre has been able to keep lower fees than other centres nearby and provide high quality service. My little one can count and write since the beginning of 4yo. There are lots of incursions such as farm, reptiles, Melbourne Zoo, library, dentist, vet etc. My little one absolutely loved all of them and showed us pictures. The excursion to a farm went really well with a very detailed safety plan and supports. The centre has paid attention to child safety which I really appreciate. I would definitely enroll my other kids in this centre if we have in the future. A big thank you to make my life easier and make my little one's childcare journey sparkling and enjoyable.
