    We chose this centre for our kids due to the friendly staff and range of facilities. It’s great for the kids to have different rooms to explore - such as the lego room, construction room, library, rooftop, etc. And having a playground undercover means they don’t miss out on play on rainy days. Having been there for a while now, we have found that the educators genuinely care for our kids and there is little turnover of these educators as well.

    Could not be happier with a Day Care!Absolutely the best care! We arrived at To Be Me after leaving our previous day care because our children were under stimulated, bored and misbehaving. From day one I was frank about our previous difficulties and the team at To Be Me have been beyond accommodating let alone helpful in making sure that our children’s growth and development is nurtured. They have continued to keep in touch and update us on any issues or challenging behaviors so we can work on them rather than let them escalate to a difficult point I have no complaints, all the staff are so kind and truly care for the welfare of the children. My kids love the variety of activities through the day and the varied locations, they are not just bound to one room. Highly recommend to anyone looking for DC in the winner west.

    My daughter is in her second year at To Be Me Five Dock and I am so grateful for the wonderful care and enthusiasm shown by the carers and management of the centre. We had moved from another childcare centre and it has been highly visible the improvement my daughter’s development and confidence since moving here. The team of carers balance education with social development very well and ensure the children also are given opportunities to enhance their fine motor skills in the gym. The rooftop garden is also a wonderful place for the children to learn about plants and animals is a safe environment. The facilities are excellent with dedicated undercover play areas, an excellent kitchen and for drop off and pick up, an underground car park for easy parking. The staff are also very open and transparent on the development of the children and what their future needs might be. There are also daily emails providing education updates, meal menus and photos. I could not be happier with the centre, the carers and the management team. I highly recommend To Be Me Five Dock to any parents looking for a larger childcare centre to nurture the development of their young children.

    I am absolutely delighted with the experience my child, Miroslav, is having at ToBeMe Five Dock in Room 1. The educators are outstanding – they are not only highly skilled and professional but also warm and genuinely caring. They take the time to understand each child's unique personality and needs, creating a nurturing environment where Miroslav feels safe, valued, and excited to learn. The learning program is exceptional, blending structured activities with plenty of opportunities for creative exploration. Miroslav has developed so much confidence and curiosity, and it’s a joy to see how engaged he is with the diverse range of activities and resources provided. The focus on both academic and social development is evident, and it’s clear that the team puts a lot of thought and effort into tailoring experiences that help the children thrive. The facilities at ToBeMe Five Dock are also top-notch – clean, modern, and thoughtfully designed to encourage play and learning. The communication from the center is excellent, keeping us updated with Miroslav’s progress and the daily happenings in a transparent and engaging manner. It’s clear that the team at ToBeMe Five Dock is passionate about what they do, and it shows in the care and attention they give to every child. I am so grateful to have found such a wonderful place for Miroslav. Thank you for providing such a positive and enriching environment for our little ones! I wholeheartedly recommend ToBeMe Five Dock to any parent looking for a supportive and high-quality early learning center.

    Hi Marta! We're so happy to hear that Miroslav is having a fantastic time at our centre. Our educators recognise that all the little ones in our care are unique individuals, and our aim is to ensure that they feel a sense of warmth and belonging while under our care. We value the connections that are built with families and strong communication is a key aspect of ensuring that everyone is involved in the learning process for their little ones, so that they are thriving in our care. We love providing rich, engaging learning experiences, to support the children’s creativity, independence and confidence building. Thank you for your amazing feedback and review, we really appreciate the time you have taken to tell us about your experience, and we look forward to creating many more wonderful learning opportunities for Miroslav in the future!
