MindChamps Early Learning & Preschool @ West Hoxton 3

TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE AVOID THIS CENTER !!! I’m writing this review to give a piece of advice to all parents who wish to send their kids to this centre. DON’T TRUST STAFF! NO EXPERIENCE! NO CARE! We had a horrible experience with this centre. We’ve sent our daughter who is 2 years and five months old. This was her first time at childcare and never been to a day care before. From the second week one particular educator started making several points about our child, which at the beginning we thought it was to help our child but later felt like an attack. Constantly pinpointing little behaviours/ attitudes instead of attempting to help or find a way to communicate with the child. 1) your daughter doesn’t know how share nor play with other kids. 2) she is not obedient and doesn’t doesn’t follow orders like when it’s time to clean up. It is the educators responsibility to teach a child those basic skills. With every pickup, one particular educator would come and start lecturing us about our own child. Constantly hinting that our perfectly fine child has a learning and speaking problem. She repeatedly mentioned using unprofessional tone that we should seek help. A parents we had so many sleepless nights where we actually believed that our perfectly fine daughter could have a learning problem. We could feel and sense that our daughter was not happy neither comfortable as after two months of being there she was not sleeping not eating the so called healthy but rather rubbish food. At the end of the day our daughter seemed overly tired because of lack of sleep and eating. Forgot to mention that this centre doesn’t have their own cleaners and would simply ask the educators to clean up. You find that around 3 -4pm the educator starts vacuuming and cleaning the room while kids play and no one is paying attention to them as they would busy cleaning. We’ve recently sent our daughter to another childcare centre. I can assure you that she has flourished and started to speak sentences and loves going their four days a week. Keep an eye on your kids when you send them to this centre!!
