We’ve been part of this centre since the very first week it opened, and it’s been a standout for our family. A big thank you to the amazing educators — especially Miss Chloe, Miss Sam, Miss Kia, ,Miss Kelly, Miss Megan and Miss Steph — along with all the other room teachers who have supported our child. Your care and dedication really show. Shoutout to the floaters and support staff as well — you all do an incredible job, always knowing every child by name and helping wherever needed. To the kitchen team — thank you for getting my child to eat so well (and sneak in those veggies!). And to the admin team, your help navigating Centrelink has been so appreciated. Like any centre, there has been some staff turnover along the way, but the overall level of care and support has remained consistent. We are only leaving due to transitioning into his new school — otherwise we would have happily stayed through to the end of kindy. We’re so grateful for this centre and highly recommend it to other families.

Oh that's crazy I thought I did this review years ago. Honestly, best daycare in Ripley all the staff are friendly and my daughter loves it there.

I have nothing but wonderful feedback for Little Locals Ripley. The centre is so engaging, involved and truly all about children’s learning and family engagement. They are always putting something on to support and celebrate families, but most importantly, always celebrating their staff, showering with appreciation - it’s apparent that management understands the importance of empowering and recognition of the hard work that educators do. From my perspective, Toddlers 0, Miss Shenie and Miss Ash have made such an impact of our journey within the centre. Shenie is an incredible communicator, with knowledge and confidence in her work. Shenie has such a bond and great understanding of my child, but it comes down to then the small interactions, like learning my name from the very first visit. Miss Ash, she was there to support our stay and plays, but confidently asked to be apart of my son’s journey, actively supporting their relationship from the very first second. Miss Ash is a mum whos taken her experience from her own children and built that into a beautiful connect based relationship with my family. The environment in Toddlers 0 is engaging, filled with lovely children’s voices and experiences, but simple clean and organised. I could go on about how much I enjoy this room and team, but simply thank you team for going above and beyond for me and my family, it truly has inspired me and supported us the entire way.

A wonderful centre with the most amazing staff. Toddler 0 (Miss Shenie, Miss Resel and Miss Ash) have helped our child settle in to what has been quite an anxious time for us all. Our baby loves going to daycare and has the best time with their little friends.

My son started here only a week ago and already he's coming home everyday laughing and excited asking to go back. He has already said such wonderful things of the ladies that work here and absolutely loves Miss Chris. Thank you to everyone for making the transition back into childcare after so long.

My daughter has been in attendance for nearly two years now and I cant fault this service, everyone is always so friendly and my daughters development has been fantastic. Shout out to the kitchen for keeping my fussy daughter fed.

I can’t recommend Little Locals Ripley enough - from the staff in the rooms to that staff in the office, we are so glad this centre was put first experience with childcare. Everyone was so helpful with both our son and daughters transition, and now they’re always so excited for kindy and have made the best relationships with their educators.

Our daughter has been attending Little Locals Ripley since it opened two years ago, and the growth and confidence she has gained have been truly incredible. As she gets ready to start school next year, it’s a bittersweet moment — we’re so proud of how far she’s come, but it’s hard to imagine leaving such a wonderful community. The Kindy 2 educators have been nothing short of exceptional — so caring, patient, and dedicated to every child’s individual needs. Our little boy also attends, and his educators are just as amazing. The management team is outstanding; they go above and beyond to create a nurturing, family-like environment. Every staff member knows us and our children by name and takes the time to truly listen and connect with them. At Little Locals Ripley, we’ve never felt like just another family in the system — we’ve always felt seen, valued, and supported. We couldn’t be more grateful for everything they’ve done for our children and our family. Thanks for all you do!

My daughter attends Little Locals Ripley and she without a doubt receives the best care possible and we are forever grateful for the awesome educators at the centre.

I pick my grandson up from daycare once or twice a week, and every time we get welcomed on arrival and farewelled on the way out. All the educators and management team have always been so helpful and friendly, and always go out of their way to make sure the kids are safe and looked after. I am very grateful my grandson attends such an amazing centre with people who love their jobs.
