We enjoyed our time at Little Star, and the teachers were warm, caring, and looked after my child very well. However, over the past few months we observed the centre more closely and were not impressed with the curriculum. At both pick-up and drop-off, the environment often looked dull, with limited displays of children’s artwork. The toys did not appear well organised or regularly updated. In the past month, we also noticed fewer staff present, and the educator-to-child ratio seemed stretched. On several occasions during pick-up and drop-off, there appeared to be only one educator in a room, which resulted in fewer structured or stimulating activities for the children. Based on our experience, we would not recommend Little Star to families who are looking for a strong focus on quality learning, particularly in the preschool room.

Response from the owner 12 Apr 2026

Thank you for your feedback, we’re glad to hear you found our educators warm and caring! We would like to clarify that our service always operates within the required educator-to-child ratios, there has never been an educator closing the service alone. Toys and resources are regularly rotated and updated, alongside intentional learning experiences planned by our educators. As a service that values sustainability, we aim to use resources thoughtfully and realistically. We appreciate your feedback and are happy to announce our new school readiness program is led by a qualified Early Childhood Teacher and now includes language, STEM, weekly cooking classes and science experiments, numeracy and literacy experiences along with monthly incursions and excursions. Our educators actively encourage involvement while respecting that each child engages at their own pace.

The educators are caring and kind, and our child enjoys going to the centre. We really value the multiple photo updates during the day 😁

We are so grateful to have found this childcare centre. Every staff member we have dealt with, from administration to the educators and even the chef, has always been kind, friendly and an absolute pleasure to deal with. The educators are genuinely caring, patient and attentive. Whenever I collect my sons, the children always seem happy, and the teachers are warm, engaged and clearly very caring towards them. On the rare occasion I have seen a child upset, the staff have always responded with kindness and patience. I have two very active boys who can be emotionally demanding at times, and the teachers handle them so well. They are always patient, understanding and supportive, which gives me peace of mind as a parent. I also really appreciate how approachable the staff are — whenever I have had a question, they have always taken the time to listen and help. I love that the children spend so much time outdoors, and the regular updates and photos throughout the day are such a lovely touch. I would highly recommend this centre to any family looking for a caring, supportive and well-run environment for their children.
