Our son has been attending for three months in the Nursery room and we have been overwhelmed at the effort the educators and management have made to help him settle in – right away from the Orientation sessions, to helping us from a two- to a one-nap schedule, right to this day. Everyone knows his name and are knowledgeable about how he has been doing. The activities and special days are varied and age-appropriate. We get regular updates and photos on the app with how the day is going and what activities have happened. As a parent I feel listened to, both in quick chats with the educators on drop-off/pick-up, but also via email contact with the management when needed.

I don't think my review can do this place justice! Outstanding daycare, my daughter has been enrolled since she was 9 months (she's now almost 2.5 years old). I am genuinely bowled over at her development, she's learned so much and I know this is in part down to TLS. Every educator is friendly, attentive and kind. The centre is incredible, especially the outdoor area, I love that all the rooms connect to the outside so the children can all interact together. The food provided is super varied and healthy! Centre management are also lovely and know all the children by name. Book a tour, it's well worth it!
