Little Scholars Parkwood

I wanted to leave a review particularly for any parents who, like me, feel nervous or anxious about starting their little one at daycare.<br><br>My daughter has only been attending for a few months, but the difference between how I felt in those first few weeks and how I feel now is huge. Leaving her was something I found really difficult at first, and the kindness and reassurance we received from everyone made that transition so much easier.<br><br>From the educators in her room to the lovely girls at the front desk, we are always welcomed so warmly. I love that they know all of the children by name, and you can genuinely see the care and beautiful relationships they have with the little ones.<br><br>My daughter is in the toddler room and seeing how much she has grown and thrived since starting has been so special. She now happily walks in with me and will go straight over to her favourite educator, Talia, for a cuddle or simply sit beside her. Seeing the relationship and trust they have built means more to me than I can explain, especially knowing how nervous I was about daycare in the beginning.<br><br>The communication has also been wonderful. When we first started, I was encouraged to call as many times as I needed to check on her, which was incredibly reassuring. Photos and updates are uploaded through the app during the day so I can see what she has been doing, and at pick-up I am always given a lovely little handover. They let me know how she slept, how she ate, what activities they did, what she particularly enjoyed, or if she had a harder day and needed a little more support. I really appreciate those small details because they make me feel like I haven’t missed her whole day just because I wasn’t there.<br><br>Most importantly, I feel like my daughter is known and cared for as an individual. I can see how comfortable and secure she has become there, and how genuinely happy she is with her educators.<br><br>I really just wanted to say thank you to all of the wonderful educators and staff. As a mum who was incredibly nervous about putting her little girl into daycare, being able to drop her off now knowing she is safe, happy, cared for and surrounded by people she trusts is such a wonderful feeling.<br><br>I couldn’t be happier with the experience we’ve had. ❤️
