The love, care, and dedication you show every single day truly shines through in everything you do. It’s so heartwarming to see how much joy, patience, and kindness you bring to all the children — helping them grow, learn, and thrive in such a nurturing environment. You don’t just care for the kids; you help them feel safe, valued, and loved. The warmth you share makes such a difference, not only in the children’s lives but also in the hearts of the families who see how happy and supported their little ones are. Thank you for all that you do, for your compassion, your energy, and the beautiful way you help each child flourish. We’re so lucky to have such an amazing team who genuinely loves what they do. After everything we have been through at previous places we are truly grateful to have found you all 💕 Thank you for everything you do for our son and all the other kids and babies 💕 Read more

I have cut back my own work hours rather than continuing to send my daughter to this centre. If you value your belongings, your time, or proper supervision for your child—do not send them here. In just three days of attendance, my daughter sustained three unexplained injuries: a large leg bruise that lasted over a week, a head bruise, and rope burn/bruise on her ankle. My son also told me he was left unsupervised outside. Towards the end of his enrolment (age 4), he began wetting himself multiple times a day despite being toilet trained since 2. This issue stopped completely after moving to a new centre. The lack of supervision and care is alarming. On one occasion, the centre posted about a lice outbreak—yet I saw in daily photos another child wearing my daughter’s hat. Items constantly go missing, even when labelled—clothes, shoes, sheets. At pick-up you spend 10–15 minutes just trying to track things down. Staff turnover is out of control. They rely on two different external agencies to fill positions, so children are constantly dealing with strangers. On Father’s Day, my father-in-law (who had never been there before) was allowed to enter without showing ID—an unacceptable breach of security, especially if a no-contact order were in place. I will be formally lodging a complaint with the Regulatory Authority regarding staff ratios not being met and the absence of a qualified Early Learning Teacher prior to the new director, which is a mandatory requirement under ACECQA for a preschool. This centre is unsafe, poorly managed, and I cannot recommend it to any family. Read more
