I could not be happier with OAC Redfern. We has been part of this community for four years, and the experience has been nothing short of wonderful. The educators are exceptional - kind, patient, and genuinely caring. They take the time to know every child, not just in their own room but across the whole campus, which creates a strong sense of belonging. From our very first visit, the centre felt warm, safe, and welcoming. Communication is always clear and thoughtful, and it is obvious how much care goes into the planning of programs and daily routines. The learning spaces and rooms are always clean and well organised, and the menu is both nutritious and, as my son would say, delicious. My son is always happy to attend and has shown beautiful growth in both confidence and independence since starting. I am so grateful to have found such a nurturing and professional centre and highly recommend OAC Redfern to any family seeking a supportive and loving environment. The management team and educators are honestly the best! They truly feel like a second family.

I cannot speak highly enough of Only About Children Redfern. We enrolled our son when he was just 6 months old, and from day one, the entire team made us feel like family. Director Diana and all the educators demonstrated exceptional care, professionalism, and communication. They didn't just look after our son, they genuinely invested in his development and wellbeing. The daily updates, open conversations, and their nurturing approach gave us complete peace of mind, making it easy to trust them with our little one during those crucial early months. When we had to leave due to relocating, we truly didn't realize just how special OAC Redfern was. After enrolling our son in a new daycare, the stark difference became immediately clear. I reached out to Diana for a professional opinion, and even though our son was no longer enrolled at OAC, she took the time to guide me through best practices in early childhood education and helped me understand what to look for in a quality service. That level of ongoing support speaks volumes about her dedication to families and children's wellbeing, not just her business. If you're looking for an early learning centre where your child will truly thrive and where you'll be treated as an extension of their family, I wholeheartedly recommend Only About Children Redfern. They set the gold standard for early childhood education and care.

We had the best experience at OAC Redfern. My son started at 5 months old and we felt so comfortable leaving him with the nursery team. They could not be more caring and they put together amazing learning and development activities for the kids each day. The family events and activites were a nice touch as well

It's wonderful to know our team helped you feel comfortable and supported, and that you enjoyed the learning activities and family events. Warmest, The OAC Team
