SDN Owl’s House helped my Autistic son tremendously!! My son prior to starting with SDN was struggling with multiple daycares due too his social & behavioural struggles. He was struggling building friendships with his peers and teachers and was treated like a burden with his past daycares & educators. When my son joined SDN Owl’s House I was extremely stressed and nervous that my son would never be able too have a positive experience with childcare/school. My son was pretty much non verbal & only able to speak a few words. Due too this his behaviour would often be a struggle, such as pushing peers, throwing toys & hurting his self. The director Sharifa & Educators Joyce, Miguel & Ayumi reassured me that they will try there hardest and help with strategies. & they did much more!!! The first 3 months was difficult with my sons behaviour but the Educators never made him feel like a burden & had so much patience too support him when he’s overstimulated. They also made a spot for him to calm down when everything is a bit much for him. For the first time ever my son has built friendships with peers & his teachers. His behaviour is amazing and he’s speaking much more. I am extremely grateful too have found a childcare with such amazing a caring team! The director Sharifa went above and beyond for my son & his needs & I am eternally grateful too the educators Joyce, Miguel & Ayumi. I have always been worried of school for my son due to him living with Autism & ADHD but thanks to SDN I have such a positive view on the future ahead for him. Thank you Sharifa, Joyce, Miguel & all of SDN Owls House From the bottom of my heart I appreciate & thank you for helping Jib & my self. 🫶🏼🫶🏼

We have had an excellent experience at SDN Owl’s House. Our son is in the preschooler room, having been at the centre since he was a baby. The teachers are lovely, and you really get the sense they care about the children and want the best for them. In the time we have been there, there has been very little staff turnover. This gives us confidence that the centre is being run well and the staff are happy there, and it’s been so nice for my son being surrounded by the same familiar faces since he started. My daughter is about to start when she turns one and I can’t imagine sending her anywhere else.

We’ve had such a wonderful experience with SDN Kingsford. The educators are genuinely caring, patient, and always go above and beyond to make the children feel safe, loved, and excited to learn. Highly recommend!

SDN Kingsford at UNSW Sydney (Owl's House) has truly become an extension of our family. From the very first day, the educators welcomed us with genuine warmth and made our child feel safe, comfortable, and understood. It’s the kind of place where you can see the love and care in every interaction—small moments that mean so much to parents and little ones. That's why we send our second child there too—with our eyes shut! The team takes the time to really get to know each child, their quirks, their interests, and what makes them feel at home. Our child absolutely thrives there, we’re amazed at how much our child learns while still having so much fun. What we appreciate most is the sense of community. It feels less like a childcare centre and more like a village of people who genuinely care about our child. We’re so grateful to have found SDN Kingsford at UNSW Sydney (Owl's House)—it’s a place where our child is not just looked after, but loved. Highly recommended for any family wanting a nurturing, family-like environment. Thank you!

We absolutely love SDN Kingsford! The educators are so caring, patient, and attentive — they truly make every child feel special and supported. My child has grown so much in confidence, social skills, and learning since joining. The environment is always welcoming, safe, and full of fun activities that keep the children engaged and happy every day. We’re so grateful to have found such a wonderful place where we can leave our child knowing they’re in the best hands. Highly recommend this centre to any family looking for quality care and genuine warmth!

A warm, wonderful, welcoming place thanks to kind, holistic educators who have remained constant over time — a testament to the positive culture they have created (no high staff turnover here!). Our daughter, sensitive and slow-to-warm by nature, has thrived under the responsive & individualised care given her at Owl’s House as she has transitioned through three age groups. She adores all of her ‘teachers’. Cannot recommend more highly.

Our family have had an outstanding experience with SDN Owl's house, it has be part of our family since our first one 5 years ago. As parents, the well-being and development of our kids are of utmost importance, and we are pleased to say that Owl's house has exceeded our expectations in every aspect. In the early days, like some of the other parents we have registered a few childcares(ELS), but in the end we settled at Owl's house, it was one of best decisions we have made. The culture and people they have cultivated and maintained are just what need for our kid's early earlys development. The management team and educators(Bethney, Julia, Migel, Lily, Sarah, apologies for not naming all of you here) are not only qualified professionals but also compassionate caregivers. It's evident that they genuinely care for the well-being of the kids and create a nurturing and supportive atmosphere. We are very sad to leave this big family as kids are ready for schools next year. But again we can't thank enough for the support and cares that your wonderful educators have provided to our kids for the last 5 years.

My wife and I are extremely satisfied with SDN Owl House. Starting childcare for Oliver at a young age (9 months) was a nervous time for us as first time parents. The staff and management (Velly, Bethany, Lisa, et al.) really helped with the transition process, from getting Oliver used to the new environment to creating engaging day-long activities. What truly stands out is the personalised care Oliver receives. Velly took the time to understand Oliver's needs and preferences, creating a tailored routine that ensured our baby felt comfortable and happy every day. The facility is really clean with things like air purifiers in every room. The food is prepared by an onsite cook, which is always high quality and I often joke about Oliver eating better than I do. We wholeheartedly recommend SDN Owl House and their facility to any parents seeking high quality child care. Our experience has been nothing short than exceptional, and we look forward to continuing our journey with them. Dropping Oliver off in the morning and seeing him smile when he sees the educators is all a parent wants, thank you SDN Owl House for making such a positive impact on our family's life.

From the first day that our son was in Owl's House Centre, to his last (family relocation), the educators made it feel like a home away from home. They showed our child with respect, love, boundaries, they helped him grow, improve and become the wonderful tiny human that he is today. From the bottom of our hearts, we can't thank you enough.

As first time parents we were very worried and skeptical to send our daughter to a childcare at a very young age of around 7 months. This transition was made very much easy by the staff members at the Owl’s house! We can’t thank them enough for all their help and support throughout this journey! Our daughter who was very clingy and would scream once separated from us reached to a stage where she just wanted to stay back and play at childcare! Big shout out to staff members of nest room, esp. Jenny, Velly and Joie who took great care of our daughter! Thank you ! Thank you for make our lives easier !!
