Fauna Place is a fantastic early education centre with warm, professional, knowledgable and hardworking staff. You can really tell how much care and thought goes into the program. The “Exceeding” rating has been achieved again and again over the years and you can see why. Big congratulations to Kristin and the team. My advice: get on the waitlist early!

We feel incredibly lucky to have found Fauna Place Early Education Centre. Our son has absolutely thrived here since he was two years old. Some of the things he comes home saying that he’s learnt at kindy genuinely stop us in our tracks and make us say “wow”. We’ve recently started our six month old daughter, and leaving her with the educators almost feels like handing her over to an aunty. The care is that genuine. Whenever we’ve had questions about our son’s development, the director and educators have listened carefully and responded thoughtfully. It’s clear they really know the children in their care, and it’s reassuring to see the same familiar educators year after year. We considered a community preschool for our son’s final year, but the leadership and educational approach at Fauna Place stood out. The resources are constantly refreshed, and the learning experiences clearly follow the children’s interests while encouraging creativity and deeper thinking. We absolutely love Fauna Place and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to other families

We feel so lucky to have our daughter at Fauna Place. Kristin and the Fauna Place team continuously exceed our expectations. They are passionate about the children’s learning and development and the care they provide. They recently won a 2024 NSW Excellence in Early Childhood Education Award in the category of ‘Excellence in Australian History & Culture’ for their holistic approach to embedding Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander culture in the children’s educational program. It’s such a lovely community, the older children at the centre are very nurturing and caring towards the younger children. We definitely won the lotto getting a spot at Fauna Place, make sure you get on the waitlist from birth!

I cannot express enough how grateful we are to have found Fauna Place Childcare. From the moment we walked through the doors, we felt an overwhelming sense of warmth and community. The staff at Fauna Place are not just caregivers; they are educators, nurturers, and friends to our children. Our child has special needs, and finding a place that could provide the right support and understanding was crucial for us. The team at Fauna Place has exceeded our expectations in every way. They have created an inclusive environment where our child feels safe, valued, and happy. The staff are incredibly patient and attentive, always going the extra mile to ensure that our child’s unique needs are met. Even though our child only attends two days a week, the impact has been profound. The environment is incredibly welcoming and safe, filled with vibrant colors and engaging activities that stimulate the children’s minds and imaginations. What truly sets Fauna Place apart is the dedication and passion of the staff. They take the time to understand each child’s unique needs and personalities, fostering an inclusive and supportive atmosphere. The communication with parents is outstanding, with regular updates and photos that keep us connected to our child’s daily experiences. Thank you, Fauna Place Childcare, for creating such a loving and enriching environment. We feel incredibly fortunate to be part of this wonderful community and highly recommend it to any parent looking for exceptional childcare, especially those with special needs children. Love ❤️ Marie

Fauna Place is a beautiful centre with fantastic teachers who create amazing learning experiences for all the children.

We have loved our time at Fauna Place. It was the best decision for our family. The staff are kind, happy and consistent. We would recommend to anyone looking for quality care for their children.

Fauna Place Early Education Centre is a fantastic place and our daughters loves it. All the educators have been so kind and caring, they are grown in confidence and learned so much from all the activities and projects they do like the music and dance, group time, birthday parties and parents get together for special events ,It really does feel like they've thought of everything parents could want from a daycare. Kristin is an amazing centre director, so friendly and helpful!

For the last 3 1/2 years, I've had the great joy to have my daughters in care at Fauna. They have been so incredibly well cared for, with some wonderful educators that truly care because they evidently love what they do. I could name them all because they really are remarkable. I love getting our little daily photo updates that help facilitate conversations with my girls about what they've learnt or who they've played with. I have always felt listened to and that my girls were safe and happy, which as a mum is what I treasure most. They also have wonderful (and friendly) cooks that have a lovely menu that has helped my fussy kids to explore food with their peers. The last couple years have been a challenge for everyone but the way the council and the director Kristin have navigated it all has helped calm many of my anxieties and keep everyone safe. They have continued to give great care throughout and it's so wonderful to be able to come back inside the centre and see the educators face to face. We originally chose Fauna Place because it was closeby and a more affordable centre, but it's been so much more. And we're so grateful to the amazing team behind it all (that get along so well) and take such good care of our precious little people.

My daughter has attended Fauna Place for over three years, since she was 18 months old. We have been delighted with the care and education she has received there. There is a stable and consistent staff, led by the extraordinarily capable and attentive director. I always feel comfortable and secure leaving my child at Fauna Place as I know she will have fun with her friends and educators, but also that she will be supported in her learning and her emotional needs. Last year, my daughter was diagnosed with some serious health issues which require on-going management, including support at daycare. My appreciation for the educators at Fauna Place and their commitment to caring for my daughter has only grown since then, seeing their dedication in learning how to meet her health needs and supporting her through this time. I cannot recommend Fauna Place highly enough.

My 3 children love going to kindy at Fauna Place! Kristin is an incredible director and educational leader for her team of caring, nurturing and dedicated educators. The big outdoor area is amazing for my active children! We have been at the centre for 4.5yrs so far with many years to come :)
