Reviews for The Ridge Preschool & Childcare Centre Barden Ridge

Amy Lonergan Ryan16 days ago

Despite the overwhelmingly positive reviews I have read on here, unfortunately that has not been our experience. Withdrew my toddler after 3 days, and cancelling my spot for my baby who was due to start next week due to poor orientation and first week experience which has been a stressful and emotional experience 2 weeks before the end of my maternity leave. Following my gut and will have to take the financial hit of paying fees for the notice period. The owner and Director Ying is very friendly and personable, which really sold the centre to me initially, and she took my feedback and concerns very well to give her credit. In our experience, we felt the team in the toddler room were not friendly, even bordering on cold and disinterested - which I could not see being easily resolved. Unfortunately we had red flags and concerns from our initial orientation and they only continued during the first 3 days, which has led to this very unfortunate and stressful situation. We came from 2 years at a centre elsewhere in Sydney where my child had a wonderful rapport with her educators who were super warm and loving and who I felt had a genuine love for their professions, so the contrast with this centre was very evident from the get go. I felt it was important to share this review to honestly reflect our experience so that other parents are informed. Believe me - pulling my children out and having to pay a months fees whilst scrambling to make other arrangements at short notice was not a decision we took lightly

Response from the owner15 days ago

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are genuinely sorry to hear that your first week did not feel supportive or reassuring, particularly at such a sensitive time just before returning from maternity leave. We understand how stressful transitions can be for families, and we respect the decision you made for your children. As discussed, we appreciated you sharing your feedback with us directly, and we have taken your concerns seriously. While many families experience a positive and nurturing transition at our service, we recognise that every child and family’s expectations, needs, and past experiences are different. When a fit does not feel right, it can understandably feel disappointing and emotional. Our educators are caring professionals who are deeply committed to children’s wellbeing, and we continue to reflect on and strengthen our orientation processes to ensure families feel welcomed, informed, and supported from the outset. We wish you and your children all the very best as you settle into your new arrangements, and we truly hope you find a setting that feels right for your family. Kind regards, Ying Bean Centre Manager & Co-Owner
