My friend's daughter goes here and she mentioned that the centre provides an engaging and nurturing learning environment with a great balance of play-based learning and structured activities. Communication with parents is excellent, and families are always well-informed and supported. It sounds like a wonderful place for children to learn and grow! 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
