We’ve honestly had such a positive experience at this centre. The educators, and managers Kate and Sue have always been caring, professional and focused on what’s best for the children. I know every family’s experience is different, but ours has only ever been positive. The team genuinely care and you can feel that when you walk through the door. Kate and Sue are always warm and welcoming, and I really appreciate the chats at drop off and pick up — it makes the centre feel personal and connected rather than just somewhere you rush in and out of. Nothing ever feels like too much trouble, and you can really see how much they care about the children and families. Our child has felt safe, happy and supported here, and we’ve always felt respected as a family too. We’re really grateful for everything the team does each day and for the care and education they provide. A special thank you as well to Gigi, Taylah, Jaz, Tash and Bella for the love and care they show the children every day.

What started out as two faultless years at Nido Ferntree Gully sadly ended with us removing our son from care. Concerns we raised were not properly managed or followed up by management, despite multiple attempts to address them. Once we gave notice, the atmosphere noticeably changed and we no longer felt welcomed as a family. It’s disappointing, because the educators themselves were wonderful and our experience in the early years was very positive. Unfortunately, the lack of support and communication from management ultimately outweighed that.

We started at Nido earlier this year and my daughter is really enjoying it. The staff are all lovely and caring and have made the transition as smooth as possible. A special shout out to Jaki, Chrissy, Bella, Danijela, Heather and 'Nana' for all their support 😊

The light-filled interiors are bright and inspiring, drawing the children into their learning. The rooms are well resourced with calming, natural resources, with each room catering to different learning styles and offering ample space for both individual play and group activities. 

Outdoors, the children are free to explore the incredible play area and immerse themselves in nature.
