Mini Masterminds Padstow

Appart from the care of Ms Sammy (she is an angel) had an unpleasant experience. This center has great outdoor play area but don't be fooled by trusting your child is in good care. This center only cares about the money more than the needs and comfort of your child. I say this because from the moment you start the very next day the money gets taken and you start seeing all these hidden cost. I gave them the 4 weeks notice to terminate my sons care then they send an email saying if I don't attend last day they will also take full cost of the 4 weeks I didn't send him and it won't be covered by child care subsidy. Now why would I take him to attend the last day if I'm clearly not happy and don't have trust in you caring for my son how does that make sense. Why do I want to enter your center. Anything you tell them they hit you with "its center policy, it's center rules" my child likes milk in bottle.....well "it's policy" my child likes sleep in dark "well it's policy" stuff your policy the child's comfort and requirements are more importaint than your "rules" he ge T's transferred to another room roughly about 4 weeks in to a room with alot of kids. When I first entered with him I see 3 kids crying their eyes out looking at the front door one was standing next To the door no one comforting them or checking in on them. Just broke my heart seeing that. I get a hello from one of 3 carer but stays sitting on the rug as I'm standing clues as to what to do and my child unsettled. And when I went to picking him up I observed him from a far as the day care worker like always says "he had a great day" . I'm looking over and he has his head to the floor crying walking around on his own crying mummy milk mummy milk. I seen a few things and hear a few things tHat do not sit well with me and my child's comfort and happiness is imoprtaint. He was never happy being there. Have had to reach out Couple of times and got over reaching out about app updates and photos of my child. But This big chain day care like I said love the dollar and will milk your every cent. Other centers I been to take 2 weeks deposite they want 4 weeks. They threatened to take money if I don't attend last day after the 4 weeks notice is up. How in your right mind think that's fair. Overall do not recommend.

Mini masterminds padstow is the greatest daycare centre a child can attend ! As a mum of 2 when the time came for my children to go to daycare the option was clear from the beginning, At mini masterminds Padstow they offer everything a child (and a parent ) needs! They help guide children to thrive , within a clean, safe , friendly and family like environment! The staff offers constant reassurance ,the updates on the children’s days come regularly and even if you need extra information they are always a phone call away ! My children always come home happy and excited to tell me about their day

I couldn’t feel happier or rest-assured dropping my son off with the team at Padstow! The girls now feel like extended family and my beautiful boy has a whole bunch of new besties! As much as they are teaching and guiding him; They are extending their graces above and beyond to me as well, and couldn’t feel more supported being a first time mumma!

Great friendly staff and kind kids! The centre is modern and nicely furnished with cute kids tables, chairs and kids play pretend stations.
