I came to Linda super stressed and anxious about finding a safe and caring centre for my son. I was really impressed with the layout and how clean it was along with the activities to keep my son engaged. Katie and Helen are so caring and nurturing, that I have to drag my son out every time I pick him up. Linda’s warmth and understanding continues to put my mind at ease and through my experience of day cares, it is hard to find!

We’ve had a wonderful experience with Storybrooke Education. The educators are caring, patient, and truly invested in each child’s wellbeing and development. From the beginning, the team made us feel welcomed and supported, making the transition into care much easier. The centre is always clean, organised, and full of engaging activities that encourage learning, creativity, and confidence. It’s clear the staff put great effort into creating a safe, happy, and nurturing environment for the children. Communication with families has also been excellent. We always feel informed about our child’s day and progress, and it’s reassuring to know they are in such capable hands. I highly recommend Storybrooke Education to any family looking for a caring and positive early learning environment.

When we first visited Storybrooke, we were so impressed by the thought, care, and attention that had gone into creating such a beautiful environment for children. The design of the centre is warm, welcoming, and engaging, with spaces that clearly support children's learning, exploration, and wellbeing. The educators were friendly, professional, and genuinely caring. My daughter loves her educators, and as a first-time mum, this gives me peace of mind when I drop her off. A special mention to Linda, whose passion and dedication shine through in every aspect of the service. She is incredibly caring, approachable, and committed to providing the best possible experience for children and families. Her values are reflected throughout the centre and in the wonderful culture she has created. Overall, this is a beautiful early learning centre with a fantastic team, and I would highly recommend it to any family looking for a high-quality early learning environment.

I attended the Storybrooke Education Open Day in Brookvale and was so impressed. The centre is absolutely beautiful and thoughtfully designed for children and families. The atmosphere felt warm, calm and genuinely welcoming from the moment we walked in. You can really see the imaginative learning spaces throughout the centre, which feel very different to a typical daycare environment.

Highly recommend this daycare. From the moment you walk in, the interiors feel warm, thoughtfully designed, and incredibly well maintained - clean, bright, and clearly set up to support both play and learning. What really stands out is the professionalism of the staff. Every interaction comes across as calm, respectful, and genuinely attentive. The team feels highly organised and, importantly, very trustworthy - exactly what you’d hope for in a childcare setting. A special mention to Linda, the owner, who clearly sets the tone for the entire centre. Her care, attention to detail, and commitment to creating a high-quality, nurturing environment really shine through. Overall, it’s a centre that operates to a very high standard, with a strong focus on children’s wellbeing and development. Definitely worth considering.
