    We couldn’t be more grateful for the care that Little Patch provide for our daughter and for being part of the community that you all work so hard to build. Our daughter has attended since 7 months old and is now 2.5 years old and every staff member has been amazing. Each day is filled with fun, education and so much love. Thanks so much again, I tell everyone how amazing you all are. We really appreciate all of your care and hard work!

    Little Patch has been a standout experience, exceeding my expectations after three previous childcare centres. Enzo's support in settling my children and his thoughtfully crafted healthy menu are a huge plus. The educators' creative and engaging activities keep my children talking for days, and their consistently engaging Storypark updates are a pleasure to read. Little Patch team, you're doing an amazing job!
