Our daughter was in Sentia from the age of 3months until my husband’s work moved when she was 18 month. It is a truly incredible early learning centre. The staff retention is amazing so she had the ability to form strong and nurturing attachments from a young age. The centre management, food and amenities are second to none. We highly recommend.

Sentia have looked after my daughter since she was 10 weeks old until almost 4 and I can say there in nowhere else I would rather send my daughter. She has flourished and has always had the best care possible.

Our son has been going to Sentia since he was 18 months old. He is almost 3 now and we are extremely happy to have decided to join Sentia despite two other day cares being closer to us. Our son did go to one of the day care for about a month before we made the switch and the difference has been night and day. Sentia is full of loving and caring Educators, no high staff turnover and Management is very prompt in responding to any queries we may have. Rooms are well laid out, spacious and has natural light which is very important and hard to find in the city. They have an open air playground in the rooftop and you can see the trains heading to/from Flinders Station which is our son’s favourite. To the whole team of Sentia THANK YOU!

Sentia is an amazing place for kids to have a consistent and caring relationship between loved ones and educators. They work closely with parents to set clear and reasonable expectations which leads to kids mental health, social and physical development. My daughter started her daycare with Sentia when she was 18 months old and we had to leave the city when she was 3 years and 6 months old.
