Both our kids have been at Only About Children Neutral Bay since they were 6 months old, and it’s been great. The educators really know our kids and genuinely care about them. They’ve always been happy to go in, which says a lot.<br><br>We love the daily updates, live routines, and the fact we can link in family members so grandparents and others can see the photos and keep up with how the kids are going. Highly recommend.

We are so grateful to have been part of such a wonderful preschool community. The educators are caring, kind, and dedicated, and they create a warm, welcoming environment where children feel safe, happy, and supported. It has been lovely to see our child grow in confidence, learn new things, and make beautiful memories along the way.<br><br>Thank you to the entire team for your patience, love, and care, and for making such a positive difference in our child’s early years. We truly appreciate everything you have done and would happily recommend this preschool to other families! ❤️

I've had both of my children at this centre and have been so pleased with the level of care and attention from the centre. I would highly recommend. Staff help children and give them a bit more attention when they need it. Long standing staff - they are "career ECEC" (i.e. not a job while studying). They're lovely people who seem to be friends outside of work so it creates a lovely, warm and fun atmosphere for the kids. The staff have also helped me during my motherhood journey and have always been wonderful in offering suggestions with things like toilet training, transitioning from 1 to 2 children, and just a kind ear during difficult mornings. The facilities, outdoor playground and toys are fantastic.

A wonderful centre, the educators are exceptionally lovely and attentive; my son loves going everyday. There are lots of activities, communication and opportunities for education. Would highly recommend.

We’ve sent our daughter here since she was 10 months (she’s now 2.5) old and have nothing but positive things to say about OAB Neutral Bay. The educators are so caring & kind. They know all the kids names even if they’re not in their specific room which makes for such a welcoming environment. The communication is very proactive and you get so many updates which is particularly reassuring in the early days! The outdoor space at this centre is what sold it for us. It’s such a bonus in this area and makes for so many fun activities. The food is prepared by Ash (the chef) and it’s so varied and nutritious. OAC hosts community events regularly which keeps parents and extended family members involved. We have loved sending our daughter here and would always recommended it to others. Thank you Ingrid & Merlin for running such a wonderful place for our daughter to thrive!

We couldn’t be happier with this childcare centre. The staff are absolutely lovely – they genuinely care, go the extra mile, and are so personable with both children and parents. The outdoor area is fantastic and gives the kids plenty of space to explore and play, and the centre offers such a great variety of activities. From gardening and wet play to watching chickens hatch, there’s always something engaging and hands-on happening. A special mention to the chef – the food is amazing and clearly made with care. We also love how much effort the centre puts into celebrations. Whether it’s Easter, Christmas, or Mother’s Day, they really make it special with decorations, events, and thoughtful touches like morning teas and even things like pony rides at themed parties. Communication is excellent – the app updates and personal photos give real peace of mind and make you feel connected to your child’s day. Most importantly, my child absolutely loves going. She’s always asking to go and talks about her friends and teachers all the time, which says everything. Highly recommend.

As a local business, we have had the pleasure of working alongside Only About Children Neutral Bay and have always been so impressed by their professionalism, warmth, and genuine care for their families. The team creates such a positive and welcoming environment, and their commitment to high-quality early education truly stands out. You can see the strong sense of community within the campus and the way educators build meaningful relationships with both children and families. It’s always a joy collaborating with a service that values connection, creativity, and excellence in everything they do. Highly recommend to families looking for a nurturing and inspiring early learning environment.

I recently spent time at this outstanding service and was so impressed. The presentation is beautiful with outstanding attention to detail, that creates a homely and welcoming feel as soon as you walk in. The learning is clearly visible and the classrooms are well resourced and clean. What struck me most was how content the children seemed. Even with many children present, it felt calm and unhurried. Something that genuinely surprised me. It was also evident that the Educators truly enjoy their work. I saw so many warm and authentic interactions during my visit. The large playground is fantastic, full of interesting things to explore. The amazing silver slide is definitely a highlight. I think this is an exceptional service which balances high quality education with genuine care. I highly recommend it.

My daughter attended this centre for 18 months and educators were very lovely and so caring and many had extremely long tenure with the centre but I consistently witnessed the centre not adhering to correct ratios for young children (2 and under) particularly around drop off times, I had to complain to head office many times and often had to wait up to an hour until more educators arrived and I felt it was safe to leave my daughter. The lack of adherence to or trying to game ratios is particularly concerning with the recent four corners investigation, I was always concerned for children seriously hurting themselves with the lack of supervision and did witness a number of children being bitten or falling onto their head from a high height - I had not even considered the risk of child sexual abuse when and if ratios are not met.

Awesome school, very polite professional staff and amazingly well-mannered children.
