From staff who treat each child like their own, to amazing food, thoughtful experiences and activities, to a wonderful internal management who will go above and beyond for the families ❤️. This is the centre you want! Our daughter runs into her classroom every day and is greeted with the biggest smiles not only from the staff but all the children, who are just as happy to be there! The sense of belonging and community shines and we would happily recommend this centre to everyone! In regards to the change of management: We have been at Maples for 2 years before OAC took over last year and the majority of the staff and children have stayed, which means the classroom standards have not changed and are still fantastic. Don't be deterred by the company name, this centre has the best staff in the area! Read more

My son has been attending Only About Children Mernda since he was just 10 months old, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, the educators have been warm, friendly, and genuinely invested in his wellbeing and development. One of the things we love most is the centre’s play-based learning approach. They really encourage the children to explore, be themselves, and learn at their own pace. It’s been amazing to watch how much our son has grown — socially, emotionally, and intellectually — thanks to the nurturing and engaging environment they provide. The chef is also incredible! Our son comes home talking about the delicious meals, which makes us feel confident that he’s being well cared for in every way. We’ve been so impressed that we’ll be enrolling our daughter there too. It’s such a relief knowing she’ll be joining a community we already trust and love. We’re truly grateful to be part of Only About Children and highly recommend it to any family looking for a caring, child-centered early learning environment. Read more
