One of the best, friendliest and most welcoming Childcare services I have ever encountered. Having previously worked in Childcare myself, I know how hard it can sometimes be to maintain a high standard, but Dunstan Reserve is a consistently good environment.

The best service I have ever found. Staff are nurturing and kind towards the children, there is an excellent program and beautiful natural grounds with edible garden and chickens! Could not recommend it more highly.

Came here for the 'Exceed' NQF rating and MCCCC certainly delivered the goods. Sure, old-ish facilities, but for us choosing quality of care over a somewhat swisher building was a no-brainer. Both kids have been here for two years now, giving us a good idea of policy and operational changes over time, and through the kids' age ranges. Great carers (with very limited turnover!), professional centre management, and ample of play and learning for the kids. We love the fact that as soon as the weather permits the kids can mingle outside, which is great because our kids (2 years apart) can hang out together. Additional advantage is that our younger always seems to learn something from the older kids. Excursions to the surrounding parks, the library or just to the adjacent community garden are an additional highlight for our little people. Management is always responsive to queries or concerns and just how good the carers are is illustrated by the fact that even on the weekend our kids want to go to daycare (go figure!). :) Have not once regretted our choice!

Had to withdraw my children after them being given age inappropriate care in a toddler room despite us paying for and having spots in the kinder room for our 4 year olds. MCCC managed the situation terribly and have been intimidating in pursuing payments beyond what they are due. They even sicked their debt collectors on us - even before issuing us an invoice! TERRIBLE Our kids are now at Denzil Don kinder not far away. It is light years better.... anywhere would be better though.

Would provide no stars if i could. Did not provide appropriate care. Signed up for kinder but were put in a room with 2 year olds... not great school preparation for a 4 year old! Unqualified staff, old dilapidated centre, poor care, poor food, no structured learning and terrible centre management. Poor value for money - better cost options available. We ended up having to pay for weeks of care after withdrawing the kids because of these concerns. They are now demanding more money for days we already paid for. Do yourself a favour and STAY AWAY! There are several better centres in the area.
