I have had 3 of my children go to Story House over the last 9 years. I love the staff at the centre, they have always been amazing with my children. A special mention for the centre manager Lisa, she is so warm, friendly and always goes above and beyond. I have always felt comforted knowing she is at the centre with my kids.

When you walk in the door you get a feeling of home with the warm natural tones and calm music. As an parent my child and myself was always greeted with a smile from the educators and acknowledged by name which shows the relationship they have built with my child. A service worth taking a look and experiencing for yourself.
