Highfields Childcare Centre

If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! HCC is an incredible childcare centre with a team that genuinely goes above and beyond. Our daughter has been so happy there, and the staff are simply wonderful.<br><br>We recently welcomed our new baby, and my birth was scheduled for the early hours of the morning. As our older daughter was already attending primary school, my husband would have been unable to attend the birth without a solution for before-school care or family support. Brydie and the team kindly arranged a once-off before-school care enrolment for our daughter so we wouldn't have to worry. I cannot explain how much that gesture meant to us. They didn't have to do it, but they did, and we will always remember their kindness during such a special and emotional time for our family. If that isn't going above and beyond, I don't know what is!<br><br>Before enrolling our daughter, I visited several childcare centres, but HCC immediately felt like home. The rooms are warm, welcoming and lived-in, with that little bit of beautiful messiness that comes from children genuinely playing, exploring and enjoying their space. Unlike some centres that feel almost too pristine, with everything brand-new and perfectly organised, HCC feels real, homely and full of life. You can see that the children truly belong there, and that means so much as a parent.<br><br>Without a doubt, your child would be in the very best hands. The care, compassion and flexibility of the team are truly special.<br><br>As our daughter moves on to primary school, we are reminded of just how fortunate we have been to have you as part of her early years. You have all played a special role in her life, and we will always be grateful.<br><br>And a very special thank you to Ms Alex! I honestly wish our daughter could take you with her to primary school. ❤️ I can already see how difficult this transition will be because of the beautiful bond you have built with her. And if I'm being completely honest, I will miss our morning giggles, too! Your kindness, patience and nurturing nature have made such a difference, and knowing how much our daughter loves being with you says everything.<br><br>Thank you, HCC, for being so much more than a childcare centre. You have been a place where our daughter has felt safe, loved and at home, and where our family has been met with genuine kindness and support.<br><br>I would recommend HCC without hesitation to any family looking for a place where their child will be truly cared for.
