Table tennis only available to seasoned players. I was told to go away & get experience elsewhere. Very much “false advertising” on blue gums part.

Thank you to the childcare team for taking care of my children and my sisters' children over the past 15 years. Eight kids in total — you all did an amazing job!

We are incredibly grateful to the entire Blue Gum Childcare team for nurturing and supporting our two children over the past 7 years since they were 12 months old. Blue Gum has been a safe, loving, and stimulating environment where our children have always felt truly cared for. We especially appreciate the excellent communication—you’ve kept us well informed about our children’s days, from what they’ve eaten to what they’ve played, learned, and experienced, complete with photos and thoughtful details. This has given us great peace of mind and truly reassured us that our children are in very good hands at Blue Gum. Thank you for being such an important part of our children’s early years. We will always appreciate everything you’ve done.

Blue Gum has been an amazing experience for our family over the past 5 years with our 3 kids, 2 who are still attending. The educators are incredibly passionate, attentive, and genuinely care about every child in their care. It’s clear they go the extra mile every day—whether it’s taking time to understand each child’s personality, providing thoughtful updates, or creating a warm, nurturing environment where kids feel safe and happy. We’re so grateful for everything the team does and highly recommend this daycare.

A safe and happy enviroment with great educators and supervisors. My son loves Blue gum.

This was my son’s 3rd year at Blue Gum and I am so grateful that we found this centre. They are a passionate team with barely any staff departures in the time we’ve been attending. There is always someone to give my son support when he needs it, thanks to their higher ratio of educators to children. The menu always sounds/smells delicious, and my son tries foods at daycare that he wouldn’t at home. I highly recommend this centre - we will be very sad to leave when my son goes to school!

What a wonderful early learning centre. Five of my grandchildren have been or are currently cared for at Bluegum, starting in Joeys and finishing in Kangaroos. It is great to see the variety of activities the children participate in and the devotion and care of the staff. My grandchildren have been and are happy there. The staff are lovely and so very kind. As a Nanna, I am able to take time when picking up the children to chat to staff and observe. I wish that such high quality daycare was available when my own children were young.

Both my boys have attended Bluegum and I couldn’t be happier with the care they’ve received. We first heard about the centre through word of mouth and even though we lived a few suburbs away with other centres closer to home, we chose Bluegum. It’s one of the best decisions we’ve made. The educators are warm, caring and truly invested in the children’s growth and wellbeing. My boys have always felt safe, supported and excited to go each day, which says so much about the nurturing environment the team has created. We’re incredibly grateful to Bluegum for the positive impact they’ve had on our boys’ early years.

Before I had my son 7 years ago I toured quite a few of the day care centres in the area around Applecross. Once my son was born I toured a few more and my son attended two briefly before we managed to get a spot at Blue Gum. I could tell from the outset that Blue Gum had a fantastic feel about it and was going to be the right place for my children until they started school. From the very beginning, Blue Gum have not disappointed. From their bright, bubbly, caring and very helpful and supportive director and 2IC, to the beautiful and kind educators in each room, the centre is a fantastic space for kids to grow and learn. Having seen other centres rooms, I love the lay out and unique spaces and quality of resources and activities they provide in each room. In the nearly 7 years my 2 kids have attended I have been so happy with, and grateful for, their care and support and all they have done for my kids.
