My children started at Care for Kindies late last year after being at another local daycare, and the experience has been night and day. From our very first contact—when I was crying on the phone after my 12-month-old son had been involved in some incidents at his previous daycare—the director went above and beyond to make things happen and secure us an immediate place. My youngest was very unsettled at his previous daycare and would cry all day long—from the moment I dropped him off in the morning until I picked him up in the afternoon, and sometimes even the whole way home. I couldn’t leave him with anyone else; he would scream the house down, even with his very familiar grandparents. Just a few months later at Care for Kindies, he is happy to go to anyone, doesn’t cry at drop-off, and confidently joins activities with the other children—huge steps for an 18-month-old. It has been incredibly reassuring to see him develop such a strong sense of security, belonging, and confidence in a nurturing and supportive environment. My eldest is absolutely thriving and comes home telling me all about his fun day with his friends and teachers. His learning at preschool is clearly evident and continues at home, which reflects how engaged and involved he is in meaningful learning experiences that extend beyond the centre. All of the educators are experienced mums who have been at the centre for as long as 20+ years. There is zero staff turnover, and every educator is familiar to my family, knowing both of my children—and myself—by name. Each educator has their designated rooms but will often move between spaces to build connections with all of the children. This creates a genuine family-style environment where relationships are at the heart of everything, and educators truly understand each child’s individual interests, strengths, and needs. The directors also work on the floor within the rooms, ensuring they know every child personally and can communicate openly with families about their children’s experiences. This strong partnership with families creates trust and a real sense of continuity between home and care. Care for Kindies is a warm, welcoming, and nurturing environment built on respectful and trusting relationships. I have never worried about my children while they are there—unlike our previous daycare, where I felt too anxious to go to work without knowing they were in safe, loving hands. I would recommend Care for Kindies to anyone looking for a small, family-owned service—something that was completely non-negotiable for me when choosing a new service for my boys. I am forever grateful to Theresa and the entire team for their kindness, compassion, and the positive impact they have had on my family. These qualities are incredibly rare in an industry that predominantly values childcare as a money making machine. Care for Kindies is the complete opposite of that and you will feel it as soon as you walk in.

I have been with CFK Leppington since 2017. Both my children have experienced a sense of belonging, feeling safe, valued, stimulated and happy. My experience of all staff has been extremely positive. Educators are thorough and provide an age appropriate environment for children to learn (academically, socially and emotionally) and thrive. Staff have meticulously cared for and catered for the special needs of my daughter. I am so grateful to every educator at CFK Leppington who has had a hand in raising my children. Oh, and did I mention the outdoor area? It’s huge and incredible! I will be very sad to leave as my youngest begins her Primary School Adventure. I highly recommend CFK Leppington to anyone looking for a wonderful early years environment for their child/ren.

Very trustworthy & great Centre filled with amazing resources! My daughter has been a part of care for Kindies for over 4 years and they have prepared her well for school. Shout out to Little Inventors 1 and 2 educators, they have been very helpful! All educators are kind, well informed and experienced. Highly recommended this wonderful Centre to anyone.

I was so nervous about starting my daughter at daycare when she turned 3. I couldn't have made a better decision by sending her to Care for Kindies. The staff are unbelievably beautiful people who genuinely care for the kids. It's a small centre and all the staff know all the kids. They are so interactive with parents and have always kept us updated throughout the day. The backyard is huge and perfect for little ones with lots of energy. The biggest indicator of a quality service, however, is that my daughter has absolutely thrived. She has blossomed and grown in her social and emotional development, looks forward to going to preschool every week and wants to stay with her teachers "forever." I'm so thankful to Teresa, Lee, Holly, Reshma, Bec, Mel and Veronica and all the other wonderful staff for investing in our girl and making her time at daycare such a joyous and worthwhile experience.

We couldn't be happier with the care and attention our 3 children receive at CFK Leppington. The staff are very nurturing and create a safe, fun, and educational environment. It's always a good sign when a centre has a very low staff turnover, as the kids can build strong and solid relationships with their long-term educators. CFK is a big part of our village and we recommend this centre to anyone in the area.

Care for kindies has been a blessing for our family and our daughter has been attending since she was 11 months old. Directors Teresa and Lee, along with the teachers, are incredibly caring and skilled, providing a nurturing environment for our child to thrive. The well-rounded curriculum incorporates fun activities that foster learning and development. We couldn't be happier with our choice and highly recommend care for kindies to other families.

Our family have been at Care for Kindies Leppington for 4 years and we could not love it more. The staff are extremely caring and passionate about their jobs. Their activities and resources offer the children so much stimulation. In particular, their school readiness program is second to none.

We have had such a great experience at Care for Kindies Leppington. My son loves it here and all the educators are well trained, friendly and makes you feel very welcomed. I enjoy reading his daily updates and observations. His class curriculum is very well set out. I highly recommend Care for Kindies!
