Horrible experience few years back I had my daughter in thsi daycare. Enrolled her based on reviews and we were new immigrants to the country. My daughter was barely 2 years old and I was already too nervous to put her in somebody’s hands. And I was right, I had worst 6 months where the teachers didn’t care about her food and diaper changes. She used to come home like if we would pick her around 5:30 or so , and she had dirty diaper before that time , they would not change it and keep her for me to change when reach home. That little kid in dirty poop doaper would get rash in that 1 hour of getting home. I noticed this on third occurrence with back to back rashes and ultimately complained but they didn’t take a notice. I was on hint of finding the other daycare meanwhile anyways and had to deal with this. Then a random temporary hire teacher was so rough to kids when I made an entry around 6pm and she was just too done with all kids. She was literally pushing them. I confronted her for being so rude to kids literally under age 3, and she became rude to me as well. Center again complained but they said we will check but nothing was ever done. She was still there preety much showing arrogance to em and I was so scared of how she must have dealt my daughter behind me. Lastly they would not feed my daughter food if she won’t ask, she was shy and in that new environment was taking time to adjust. Many times she would come home n burst into tears and u controllable cries which I was unable to crack until I fed her and realized she was crashing on low sugar and energy. Center principal to this was like we can’t force feed kids, I agree don’t force feed but if a kid has not eaten anything all day atleast call or let their parents know or give her options from snacks whatever she likes to survive the day. Outside food was not allowed and hence I suffered this too. Horrible 6-9 months , I wonder how some parents simply ignore so many red flags in thsi center. Surprise visit n you will know

After more than five wonderful years at this centre, we couldn’t be more grateful for the love, care and support our family has received.<br><br>Both of our children have absolutely loved their time here, and the centre truly became an extension of our family. The nurturing, caring and attentive educators gave us complete peace of mind knowing our children were safe, happy and genuinely cared for.<br><br>A huge thank you to Yvonne, Miss Kim, Miss Rachel and the entire management team for creating such a beautiful environment. A very special thank you to Miss Sammy, who helped both of our children settle from day one, as well as Mr Lucas, Miss Hayley, Miss Mina, Miss Maddi, Mr Andrew, Miss Amanda and all the wonderful educators who have played a part in our children’s journey.<br><br>Leaving is incredibly difficult. Even after moving away over a year ago, we continued making the long journey because we simply couldn’t imagine our children anywhere else. Sadly, the distance is no longer practical for our family.<br><br>There truly is no other centre like this. We leave with beautiful memories and enormous gratitude. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts. ❤️

My child has been part of Keen Kiddies since he was just 4 months old. It was during COVID, and as immigrants we had no family in Australia except ourselves. During that time, the educators became like our village. I have learned so much from the educators, and they have given my son fun memories every single day—along with routines, responsibility, and a wonderful social life with his friends. Next year we are leaving Keen Kiddies as he moves on to big school, but the happy memories will last a lifetime. Keen Kiddies is truly one of the best childcare centres in the Hills.
