Lakeside Creative Minds has been an absolute blessing for our family. From the very first day, the team has shown genuine care, warmth, and dedication to creating a safe, nurturing, and inspiring environment for my daughter, my only complaint is I wish I discovered it sooner. The educators are not only highly skilled but also incredibly attentive and kind. They take the time to get to know each child’s personality, interests, and needs, ensuring that learning is always fun and engaging. I’ve seen my daughter’s confidence, creativity, and social skills blossom since starting here, and she genuinely looks forward to going each day. The centre itself is bright, clean, and beautifully set up with stimulating activities and resources that encourage curiosity and learning through play. Communication with families is excellent, I always feel informed and involved in her daily experiences and milestones. It’s so clear that the staff truly love what they do, and that passion flows through in every interaction. As a parent, there’s nothing more reassuring than knowing your child is not only cared for, but celebrated and supported to grow into their best self. I couldn’t recommend Lakeside Creative Minds more highly, it’s more than just a daycare; it’s a community that feels like family. ❤️ Read more

I made the switch from the big centres to this small, intimate, privately-owned service almost 18 months ago, and this has been the best decision I could have ever made. As an Early Childhood Teacher, as well as the mother of a child that attends the centre, I value the close-knit community of educators and families, and the warm relationships that can be nurtured in an environment like this.

"From the moment my daughter stepped into Lakeside Creative Minds we felt like we'd discovered a hidden gem. The educators are not just caregivers; they are nurturing, attentive, and genuinely invested in each child's development. Seeing their dedication is truly heartwarming. The director's leadership creates a vibrant, supportive environment where children thrive. My daughter adores her time there, and as a parent, I couldn't ask for more. Highly recommend!" Read more
