Choosing Simba for our child has been one of the best decisions we have made. The learning style encourages children to explore and express themselves in their own way, and we have seen a beautiful growth in confidence and creativity in our child. We love receiving daily photos and updates from the educators, it gives us peace of mind knowing our child is happy, settled, and enjoying their day. Simba offers many wonderful experiences, including language, sports, and music. The Centre director is very friendly and approachable, which makes such a difference. Thank you to the amazing team at Simba. We highly recommend this Centre - a happy parent.

My daughter started at Simba St Ivs since last November, the teachers are amazing, they are always nice to kids and friendly share kids’ performances to parents, the management team is helpful to communicate with parents. I’m so happy to choose Simba St Ivs for my daughter.

I’m a first time mum sending my two year old off at daycare. It took few tours until I found the right one. As soon as we met the director , Hanishka, we just knew it was the right place. They are not just a centre for you to drop off your kids. It just felt like a family vibe, from the way they make sure I’m always reassured that my child gets the care and the love. I wouldn’t have it any other way. I would highly recommend Simba St Ives, since I can’t seem to find any other that felt just right for my son and I. Thank you for your support and care, and I’m confident to send him off knowing he is cared and safe.

Our son has attended this nursery for the past year, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, the staff made him feel safe, welcome, and genuinely cared for — which gave us huge peace of mind as parents. The team are incredibly kind, patient, and attentive, and it’s clear they truly care about each child as an individual. We’ve seen such a positive change in our son’s confidence, independence, and development over the year, and he’s always been happy to go in each morning.

From the get go, Simba has been absolutely terrific! I'd checked out a few places, but Simba stuck out straight away. The centre itself is great, lots of space and different kinds of options for activities. My daughter joined just after turning one and Simba's staff have been amazing helping her transition to being away from me. From the activities she gets to do in the day to the bonds with her peers and especially the nurturing staff - Simba is an asset in her development. The director is so friendly and so engaged, always giving updates when I pick up my daughter. I highly recommend Simba.

We couldn’t be happier with Simba, it’s not just a child care it’s second home for kids to stay in a safe environment. The centre itself is bright and clean. The educators well trained, experienced and actually cares about the children’s wellbeing. Highly recommended Simba. ❤️

Simba has been absolutely fantastic. My 2nd daughter joined when I went back to work at 9 months old and she’s like a different child. Absolutely thriving, learning so much. She’s always so happy to see the educators and no issues at drop off which shows how much she loves it there. They have so many awesome activities, always planning new extra curricular activities and lots of help and information for parents all the time. I really trust them with my daughter and so grateful to have found such a great place given we are also new to the area. Highly highly recommend!

Simba Education St Ives has been very professional, dedicated and supportive. Hanishka has supported us getting started and settle in to daycare and has been amazing as a manager. I cannot appreciate more for the support we received from all the teachers involved in my daughter’s care. Our daughter absolutely loves the open arms of Miss Kylie and Evelyn every single morning she attends Simba. Thanks so much.

I’m very impressed with this school. Everything is well-organized, and the atmosphere is so warm and welcoming. My daughter absolutely loves it here! Every day she asks me, “Mom, what day is it today?” When I ask her why, she says, “Do I get to go to school today? I want to go to school!” Normally, she attends four days a week, but she’s been asking if she can go every day — that’s how much she enjoys it! She’s always happy to see her lovely friends and kind teachers. And especially Ms. Hanishka, the center manager — she always welcomes us so warmly and helps us every time we need assistance. We truly love Simba! ❤️

My first child had a wonderful year at Prepare, so I decided to enrol my second child there as well, even though Prepare is now under new management (Simba). To my shock, during the tour while I was observing the outdoor playground, I was startled by a very loud voice. A teacher from the room next to the toddler room, wearing black glasses, was standing by the bathroom door and loudly scolding a little boy who was alone in the bathroom taking off his nappy, blaming on him why he was so slow. I simply couldn’t believe a teacher would speak to a child in such a rude manner. After witnessing this, I immediately left—I could never allow my child to be cared for by such a teacher. I also noticed that Simba has a very high staff turnover, and most of the excellent teachers from Prepare are no longer there. We especially miss Mrs. Nahid, who was truly the best teacher!
