Rosewood & District Kindergarten & Preschool

I wanted to keep this review short but I have too many praises to sing about Rosewood C&K. We have had an absolutely faultless year with my daughter's attendance at this kindy. The facilities - I have to lead with how incredible the outdoor space is. It is a huge garden with real grass, trees and flowers, butterflies, native stingless bees, birds etc. Just wonderful. All very well maintained including the large sandpit. Great playground and plenty of other equipment and toys to keep everyone entertained. Inside has an extensive set up of different activities: home corner, crafts tables, puzzles, books and building activities. The room is always clean, tidy and organised (at least at drop off and pick up anyway!) Lunchboxes are stored in a fridge so no need to worry about icepacks and food spoiling. The educators - Mrs Giddins, Mrs Waugh and Mrs Klepper are a fantastic team. They genuinely care for the children and feel like an extension of the family, my daughter has adored them all. The educators have nurtured a positive emotional environment that our daughter has flourished in as she felt supported, respected and safe. There is a high level of communication and whilst we never had a single concern, if we had, I'm confident that it would have been resolved efficiently. Good moral values and safe hygiene practices are instilled here. Our daughter - She has absolutely thrived here! Coming from a negative daycare experience where she became very introverted, she clicked with this centre from the very first viewing and made friends on the first open day. Her confidence has blossomed tremendously which has given her the foundation to have a great year. Every week she has counted down the days until kindy and she is saddened that it's over. We believe that Rosewood C&K has given her the best possible preparation for starting school next year. Overall, there is a remarkable sense of community and belonging where the children feel seen, heard and safe. The quality of care, education and facilities are unbeatable. I highly recommend this kindy, so much so, that our son is already on the waiting list for 2027!
