Great family atmosphere, a smaller centre with amazing, caring educators who take the time to really get to know each child as an individual, and go above and beyond to ensure each child meets their full potential, socially, physically and intellectually.

My daughter attended Skallywags for the past three years and I couldn’t be more grateful for the care and support we received. Sending your child to care for the first time is such a daunting experience, but the educators at Skallywags made that transition so much easier. They were always happy to take check-in calls, provide reassurance and sent through beautiful photo updates showing my daughter smiling and thriving. It gave me such comfort knowing she was happy and settled. I always felt completely confident that she was in safe hands - I’m so thankful for the love, guidance and encouragement they gave her, especially in preparing her for Kindergarten. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Skallywags to any family looking for a caring and supportive early learning environment.

Amazing facilities and amazingly kind, supportive and nurturing staff. I have nothing but positive things to say about Skallywags Singleton and I highly recommend them. My child is always happy to go each day, even after years of attendance. I think that highlights how good the team and the environment is.

We were lucky to be apart of the scallywags family for 3yrs with our two kids. That’s exactly what it is a big family, the teachers are consistent, they all know your name and the individual needs of your child. A small 2 room centre with a massive playground with real grass and huge sandpit. This was perfect for our outdoor loving kids.

Skallywags preschool has been a home away from home for my two girls for the past 4 years . I could not fault the education , care , love and dedication of the educators during this time . They truely go above and beyond for your child . My eldest has additional needs and serious allergies which made me hesitant to trust anyone with my child . Skallywags proved me wrong always managing this so efficiently and safely . The educational programs and experiences are amazing and cater for all emerging interest of the children . We love all the special days that are planned throughout the year from excursions, incursion and days like crazy sock week , book week dress up and bike week in the staff car park . Being a small 2 room centre makes it such a beautiful space for children to thrive and feel comfortable as my youngest struggled with self confidence and was very shy . You should look at her now confident and ready to take on her next schooling pathway. My children loved the outdoor space , the real grass , play equipment and the trampoline , so much space outside to run and explore . We are beyond grateful for our children’s time at Skallywags preschool . Take a chance , you won’t be disappointed with Skallywags preschool :)

Skallwags has been amazing for both our children. Their social and emotional development has come so far because of their environment and educators. The balance they have with educators is what makes a great learning and fun environment for them. My son has come a long way due to the educators recognizing early on he was delayed and is back on track for his age ready for when he starts kindergarten. It is truly a great environment to have trust in with you’re childen taken in by their care and early education. The cleanliness is a above and beyond. They have the grassed area which is regularly maintained. To which this is the favourite, especially when they have wet week in December, as most daycares seem like a prison, all concrete. Chloe and Ian also go above and beyond catering to our needs regarding the accounts/CCS. This can be confusing to first time parents/daycare. Ian will explain all you need to do! Thankyou Skallywags! There is no other care facility I would choose!

Skallywags is by far one of the best daycares in Singleton! The staff are so amazing. Providing such rich learning experiences in a safe and consistent environment. I love that it is a smaller centre so you and your child get to know everyone well. My son loves his Skallywags days and his educators. Highly recommend Skallywags!!!

Skallywags has provided a home away from home for our little boy. He spends his days surrounded by educators that truly adore him, and a friend group that fun and supportive!

The most incredible, nurturing and fun centre we have been lucky enough to be apart of! Our 3 children have attended Skallywags over the years and we cannot speak highly enough of the fantastic educators and management within the centre. The care they provide to the children and the fantastic educational experiences and adventures are second to none. Thank you Skallywags!

My little girl started at the start of the year and I was super nervous as she is non verbal and I was worried about how she would go. I could not recommended Skallywags enough. The care and understanding my daughter and myself have received is amazing. She walks in and leaves with the biggest smile on her face and all my worries I had at the start are all gone as I know she is in the best place 🥰

What is a Top Rated Centre? A top rated centre must have 5 star average reviews rating, as well as 'Exceeding' or 'Excellent' NQS rating. The National Quality Standards are a set of national benchmarks for early childhood education and care services. It includes seven quality areas like "Children's health and safety" and "Educational program and practice".
Criteria:
The National Quality Standard (NQS) is part of the National Quality Framework (NQF), introduced to enhance the quality of early childhood education and care services in Australia. Developed by the Australian Children’s Education and Care Quality Authority (ACECQA), the NQS provides a benchmark for childcare services, from long day care and family day care to preschools, kindergartens, and outside school hours care. Under the NQS, childcare services are assessed and rated for the quality of education and care they provide. These ratings give parents a clear understanding of how well a service meets national standards, helping them make the best choice for their child’s needs.
Our average ratings are calculated from authentic parent reviews submitted directly on the Care for Kids website, as well as reviews on Google.
Verified Centres are vetted by Care for Kids. As part of this process, Verified Centres undergo a financial assessment to ensure their reliability and credibility.
