It is hard to articulate the gratitude I have for what a fabulous job the educators have done for my daughter over these past almost 4 years at the Infants Home. I still have the photos of her first day, she was so scared and so miserable - to see the little person she has become is truly extraordinary. The educators at the Infants Home have never stifled her flame, but allowed her to find her feet and be herself. The Infants' Home offered the children in their care every opportunity - from robotics to Soccerjoeys, dramatic reading to creating dramatic play areas following the children's interests, and for being their home away from home. The Infants Home has been a place I never thought twice about dropping my daughter off to, and an early learning centre I recommend to anyone and everyone.

We have been attending the Postnatal Movement classes with Hannah and they have been amazing! Such a nice way to ease back into exercise under Hannah’s guidance and to connect with local mums and bubs. Would definitely recommend!
Response from the owner4 months agoThank you very much Alison, for your lovely words! It has been a pleasure spending every Wednesday morning with you and Myles and we are so pleased you are enjoying the classes. Hope to see you back for more postnatal movement classes in 2025, and Babytime playgroup when it returns in Term 1! (Hannah)
