My son attended this kindergarten for 10 months. Initially, our experience was positive, but things changed significantly when the manager went on leave and a new manager took over. During those 10 months, I had one of the most stressful experiences as a parent. Both my children started attending childcare at just four months old, and I have never felt as worried and anxious as I did during this time. My son frequently came home with scratches on his face, bite marks, and bruises. In many cases, the staff were not even aware of how these injuries occurred. Every time I raised a concern, I was given responses like “sorry, it happens,” “staff were not aware,” or “we will investigate”—but no meaningful follow-up ever happened. In the last month alone, my son was injured four times. When I requested CCTV footage, I was told that head office would review it and provide training if needed, but no clear answers were given. Incident reports were either incomplete or not properly handled, and I was asked to sign forms with missing information, which I refused. Even after raising concerns in my exit form, no one contacted me or acknowledged the issues. This lack of accountability is extremely concerning. Communication at the centre was very poor. Staff did not properly hand over information between shifts, often responding with “I don’t know, I’ve just started my shift.” This reflects a serious gap in processes and responsibility. Additionally, the management was unprofessional when handling my refund. I was informed about it three months ago and provided my bank details immediately, but despite multiple follow-ups with both the centre and head office, there was no clear update. I only received a proper response recently, which I appreciate, but it should not have taken this long. Overall, I found the centre to be negligent and poorly managed. A kindergarten should be a safe and nurturing environment for children—not a source of stress and anxiety for parents. If you value your child’s safety and wellbeing, I would strongly advise reconsidering this centre. Otherwise, be prepared for ongoing stress and the need to constantly follow up on serious concerns.

I booked a tour of this centre to consider enrolment. During the visit, the manager closely followed my child and repeatedly rearranged items he touched, which made the experience uncomfortable. I also had concerns about the cleanliness of the centre. Based on this visit, I chose not to proceed.

About Aspire Early Education & Kindergarten - Thornhill Village

Our upcoming centre, Aspire Thornhill Village is located in Thornhill Park, just 35 minutes from Melbourne CBD. The state-of-the-art facility will feature beautiful indoor and outdoor environments for children to learn and grow in. The 7 spacious rooms in the centre supports children through their entire learning journey, catering for children aged 6 weeks to 6 years old.

Mealtimes, along with Aspire’s sustainability program which features edible gardens and children’s cooking classes will be hosted in the piazza. This space will bring our community of children together to share learning experiences that occur during these important times.  Shared time across multiple age groups allows diverse relationships to flourish. Older children develop responsibility, increase their confidence and independence skills as they model positive behaviours to support the younger children throughout these learning experiences. Younger children will also benefit immensely from these experiences, as they mimic the positive behaviours of older children, propelling the development of their confidence and independence.

We love the opportunity to bring our Aspire community together with our local community, to celebrate the diversity of our children and families to create a sense of belonging for everyone.  By understanding children in the context of their families and community, we can provide meaningful and purposeful opportunities and experiences that relate to their world.
