We moved our youngest to this centre after a management change at a previous centre. The moment we walked in, we were sold. The Staff & educators at OAC Carina are wonderful, vibrant & caring, you can see the care for every child. A place where the Management Team know your name & really know the ins and outs of your child. I can’t recommend this centre highly enough & I would give it 6 stars but it won’t let me.

My two kids have been in OAC Carindale, fantastic educators and place to start the education of the little ones. Thanks.

We’ve been part of the Only About Children Carindale community for over 3 years, and choosing this centre for our children has been one of the best decisions our family has made. From the very beginning, Julie, Nat, and the entire team have created a warm, nurturing, and genuinely supportive environment where our children have thrived socially, emotionally, and developmentally. One of the standout qualities of OAC Carindale is the low turnover of educators. Seeing the same familiar, caring faces each day has helped our children build strong, trusting relationships and given us great confidence and continuity as parents. The educators truly know each child as an individual and provide tailored experiences, guidance, and encouragement to help them grow and flourish at every stage. The attention to detail throughout the centre is exceptional. From the Nursery stage, our babies were always clean, well rested, happy, and very well cared for. We particularly appreciate how proactive and attentive the team is when it comes to children’s health and wellbeing — any signs of illness are identified and communicated quickly, with thoughtful measures taken to help limit any potential spread through the centre. As parents, that level of care and vigilance provides enormous peace of mind- it also means our children are rarely unwell. Most importantly, our children genuinely love attending OAC Carindale. They are constantly learning, growing in confidence, and coming home excited to share what they’ve experienced each day. The centre has built such a strong sense of community for both children and families, and we’re incredibly grateful for the care, professionalism, and dedication shown by every member of the team. We would wholeheartedly recommend Only About Children Carindale to any family looking for a safe, nurturing, and high-quality early learning environment.

I enrolled my 3 yo son here from another centre in Carina Heights where he was not happy at all. He settled straight away and he loves it! It s a beautiful centre and with caring educators

I just want to thank Julie for giving my daughter (who is neurodiverse) her first big break working in childcare - as well as her team for welcoming her with lots of support. It just shows her (and her team) compassion, kindness and understanding. Although we never got the chance to speak to each other, from the bottom of my heart, I just want to express my heartfelt thank you.

We’ve had a great experience with Julie and her amazing team over the last 2 years with our daughter. There’s a real sense of community and warmth from the moment you walk through the door. The staff are caring with very low turnover, which has made such a difference in helping our daughter feel safe and happy. She loves going each day, and we’re so grateful for the way the team has supported her individual needs with genuine care and attention. I highly recommend the centre and have already enrolled our son to go next year!

Our 3 year old has been with OAC for a year now, and we love the educator team and their approach. While the class sizes are a little larger than we like, the centre as a whole is relatively small, so it feels like a big home for the kids with ability to connect the younger and older classes. The team has gone above and beyond to support our son with his development, including around toileting, and he's thrived with them.

We absolutely love this place, the staff and kids are just amazing

I had high hopes for this childcare centre as the older rooms looked inviting and the kids seemed happy. The youngest room however, absolute chaos. They don't even let them outside and the educator told me it was the 'directors rule'. I didn't start my child here as after a few play and stays my concerns were met with 'well, unfortunately it's just a busy room'.
