    Feel so lucky to have been recommended to this child care. My son started at 9 months old, not only has he thrived in this environment, but he has grown into such an intelligent young boy. Now 20months. The staff have guided him exceptionally, teaching him ways to improve his motor skills and physical attributes. His carer, Damini, is one of the most loving and nurturing woman we have met. Their bond is so special and proves just why my son loves going to Day care. From the chef, to the director to the receptionist, every one, including carers from other rooms, are always so polite abs friendly. Saying hello when we are enter, remembering our names and little details about what we may have said in passing. Holding door open for me when holding my new born, making sure Noah is fed, clean and bag packed with a detailed description of how day. Every single time. It is a very wholesome environment, with out a doubt a key factor in to my child’s growth.

    Thank you for such a detailed and positive review. It is important that respect is displayed in all areas of the service you receive as it is a key Montessori learning so very pleased to hear you are seeing this in practice. Our educators are such an asset and we will be sure to pass on your beautiful words. An extended thank you to the person that recommended us - word of mouth is so important when trusting an early learning provider with your child.

    I love this place and so does my child. As a parent and as an educator at the centre I deeply appreciate the staff being nice and caring, and the Director, Desiree really cares about the children and works with the parents. She always say 'Hi' with a smiling face when parents are going in front of her room. She is a good manger and she helped me to develop my skills as I am very new to the field. The facility is well thought of, rooms separated to keep the ages apart. And the children are motivated to use the staircase which help them to be more independent. Children love to use the stair case rather than the lift. They are very happy when they come down or when they go up in the stair case, because they are self satisfied with the idea of doing a great thing. They love that and anyone can see their happiness after the job done.I will never forget the experience which I had in the centre, Specially with Nas, Anna and Paddy, They are great leaders.
