5 stars to the incredible team of educators who continuously go above and beyond to make a difference in the lives of my children. Kylie, Jackie, Sharon, Susan, Narell, Ella, and Kusuma – each of you has played such a pivotal role in ensuring my two boys feel happy, safe, and well cared for. From the very beginning, you’ve shown unwavering dedication, taking the time to understand their needs, interests, and personalities. Your kindness, patience, and commitment have not only created an environment where they thrive but also fostered a sense of trust and security that means the world to me as a parent. I truly appreciate the effort you all put into making sure their time is filled with fun, learning, and emotional growth. Also, a special thanks to Niki for always being so helpful and friendly towards both the children and parents. Your warmth and positivity never go unnoticed, and it truly makes a difference in our experience. Thank you all for your exceptional work and for always going that extra mile

There’s always something fun or engaging happening—whether it’s a craft activity, free play, or something a bit educational. The staff are absolutely lovely—friendly, attentive, and really great with kids. You can tell they care. Highly recommend!

This service is absolutely incredible 👌 My son joined at the start of 2025 and they have truly made such an impact to his mental health, his well-being and sense of self and belonging. He is understood, embraced and very much a part of his pre-kinder community and service as a whole. Kidscape is a beautiful environment for children and their families and its all because of the amazing educators, director, admin and the entire team. Before finding Kidscape, I had little faith in the integrated kindergarten program and was very much one for standalone services, but this service does it all ✨️ They foster community, embrace inclusion and encourage individuality. They are and will always be an integral part of my son's early childhood, not just in his academic development but in his self-esteem and confidence to become invovled in his surrounding world and step out, explore and grow in life's adventures 🥰
