Luke Boyd16 days ago

Our experience with the management of this center went downhill following the recent appointment of new management. The high turnover of staff has made walking into my childs' room a guessing game of asking who will be responsible for him today, with the ratios of carers to children being above what was originally advised to us (1 per 4 children).<br>There have been some stand out people here who kept our hopes alive, but the communication from the center as a whole has made leaving easy.

Response from the owner

Hey Luke,<br><br>I’m sorry to hear that you have felt this way. I do want to clarify a few things, as some of the information in your feedback does not reflect what has occurred in the room.<br><br>Your son has been in the same room since May 2026, and there have been no changes to the regular educators in that room during this time. While we have had some changes to our float staff, the core educators working with your son have remained consistent.<br><br>As you can understand, it is important to us that we have educators who are committed to providing high-quality care and supporting the children’s learning and development. At times, this has meant making changes to float staff to ensure we have the right people supporting our rooms.<br><br>I would also like to clarify that the educator-to-child ratio in this room has always remained at 1:4 and has not changed.<br><br>We completely understand that you have now finished your time at the centre. However, none of these concerns were raised with us during your time here, and we would have appreciated the opportunity to discuss them with you directly and see if there was anything we could do to address your concerns.<br><br>It is disappointing to see a claim made online that, from our perspective, does not accurately reflect the consistency of the room or the hard work our educators put into providing quality care for the children each day.<br><br>We genuinely value feedback from families and would always prefer to have the opportunity to work through any concerns directly where possible.
