This centre has great facilities, and some of the educators were great with the children, but not all. Many seemed deflated and short tempered. They also forgot to administer important medication to my son on one of the days he was meant to have it. That's dangerous! Recently in the last few months, this centre was taken over by Genius, which is in the news for going into liquidation, and centres are closing down rapidly, leaving children and parents in the lurch. I've first hand experienced this twice now in 6 months with this company. With staffing issues, they have been announcing centre closures daily for a week now, and sending the email out at 10pm at night when most are asleep and wouldn't see till the morning, leaving no notice to organise other care arrangements before work starts. Being a single parent with one income, this is unacceptable at how unreliable they have become. I took my son out, and so have many other parents, and found another centre. Avoid this company!

Since Genius took over this childcare, the quality has declined significantly. The centre has faced constant staffing issues, leading to frequent last-minute closures that make it impossible to rely on for consistent care. Communication is poor, with little to no response when trying to contact management. The staff themselves have always been great, but it seems they are struggling under the new management. It’s disappointing to see what was once a well-run childcare centre become so unreliable. I would not recommend this centre to parents looking for a stable and well-managed childcare provider.

In any school or childcare center, nothing is more important than the educators' genuine love and sense of responsibility toward the kids. The educators here are professional and full of energy, providing the children with a happy, enriching second home filled with knowledge, imagination, and creativity. Read more
