The new management has brought such a fresh, positive energy to the centre—it’s clear they genuinely care about the children, families, and staff, especially when Ekta called to check in on our daughter after her surgery. We especially want to give a big shoutout to Sarah and Ankit in the Kinder room. They go above and beyond every single day, creating such a warm, engaging, and supportive environment for the kids. Our daughter is thriving thanks to their care, and we couldn't be more grateful. Highly recommend The Hive to any family looking for a nurturing and professional early learning centre! Read more

From the moment we walked through the doors, the team made us feel welcomed, valued, and truly understood. They take the time to get to know each child and their unique needs, and their support has meant the world to us. It’s rare to find a place that feels like a second home, but that’s exactly what The Hive has become. I can’t thank them enough and wholeheartedly recommend this beautiful centre to any family.

On a tour there was a young girl who was absolutely balling her eyes out and nobody checked on her, including an Educator walked straight past her. Left feeling very upset and distraught Read more

Can only share my experience from my children attending there (2021 - start of 2025) *The director has since changed. * Massive behavioural issues at this centre. Months after leaving my child is still disclosing things that happened while attending the centre. He was bitten, choked, punched, had items thrown at him, kicked. At one point refused to use the bathroom because he was scared of a child. Almost anything you can think of, it happened. 🚩🚩🚩🚩 The kids were then told these children were 'friends'. How very confusing for a young, developing, mind. Multiple families with the same issues, the kids didn' feel safe. Staff were not safe either. I can only hope and dream these issues have been addressed since for the families who attend. For a centre that charges a premium price, Do better. Read more

On arrival at his first day till now I’ve been nothing but happy with the love and care both Jess and Jade show for him! He is so excited every morning I tell him he is going to see the girls. Taylah at drop off and pick ups is always so friendly and can’t cuddle my son quick enough! Thank you so much girls for making this such an easy and an amazing experience for Bowie! He has come leaps and bounds with his learning and development! He will always be known as the “giggle monster” x Read more
