It’s not surprising YA are only meeting the NQS standards for all of their areas but particularly educational program and practice as well as children’s health and safety. My 5.5mo daughter attended in 2024 and was pulled out after barely a month due two injuries happening to her they couldn’t explain. Only after I had raised it with management, upper management then went to the department of education, and provided photos of her injuries; I was given made up excuses and stories as to what happened and they tried to get my husband to sign an incident report that was done days AFTER we raised our concerns. Massive red flag. At drop off you’d be standing around waiting for someone to take her as she’d only just learned to sit independently so you can’t just leave a baby on the floor and walk out. They didn’t even try to follow a sleep schedule nor gave much effort with ensuring she was fed with her bottles. It was only when I raised it with Vika the CM at the time multiple times she would personally go in and ensure our daughter was decently fed. On the days Vika wasn’t able to help as much my daughter would skill a full 200ml bottle in the car before going home. I’d pick my daughter up and have to manage putting in all of her bottles and belongings in her bag by myself whilst holding her. No updates on how she’s been except she “cried a lot” because given what happen to her I doubt they gave her much attention. She was always overtired and upset when I would pick her up. As an educator who has worked in the childcare industry they’d often be out of ratio too. Don’t let all of these new positive reviews to revamp their image - mostly by staff who work there - fool you. Go on local community pages to get real reviews. Read more

This is an excellent childcare centre with a warm and welcoming environment. The educators are professional, caring, and always attentive to the needs of the children. The programs are very well designed to support early learning, creativity, and social development. The centre feels like a big family, where children are safe, happy, and excited to join activities every day. Communication with families is also very good, which builds strong trust and confidence. Highly recommended for anyone looking for quality childcare and education. Read more
