We feel so lucky to have found Wonder World Childcare Kindergarten. Our daughter has been attending for a few months now, and is really enjoying her time there -- we have been quite surprised as we thought it would take her a long time to settle into an external care environment, but it's been such a smooth transition. The WWCK team, and especially Jasmine, have been so accommodating. The environment at WWCK is so wonderful and calm, and I can tell our child really has benefitted from that. The Educators have made a great effort to connect to our child, and we have felt welcomed as a whole family. We didn't originally seek out a Steiner inspired service, but a lot of the Steiner philosophies have aligned well with our own family values - we love that our child isn't exposed to screens, spends much of the day outdoors, is a part of a community, connecting to self, the environment and her peers.

Our 16 month old has been at WWCK since late May, this new centre is excellent and we’ve been equally impressed with the team of educators that Jasmine has engaged. Our baby has quickly grown to love his new educators, especially Shirley. Our information sharing / care instructions have been met with diligence from all team members and it is obvious the care they have for the children. The Steiner environment wasn’t a key deciding factor for us enrolling our children at WWCK but we’ve come to recognise what a nice and calm environment it is for children, fosters creativity, responsibility of useful life/home tasks and connection with nature. For added context our eldest child was enrolled at Jasmine’s kindergarten centre in Preston between 2022-2024, and it was fantastic for him there so we have a lot of faith in the way Jasmine leads her centre’s and the values she instills in the children and staff. She seems to find good people who are onboard with her way of doing things and staff retention was high. She fosters the building of community around the centre through regular gatherings and celebrations and we’ve made some great friends through kindergarten parents/kids of our eldest child. And performances by the children are always a highlight. If you’re looking for a new centre for your child, I’d 100% recommend Wonder World Childcare Kindergarten.

When we love nature and believe in human goodness, we find connection with Steiner Education.
