My son has been going to Banksia for 3 years now and my daughter 1 and a half years. Our kids love all of the educators and so do we! They are always very warm and welcoming, and everyone always has a smile on their face. We love the programs they have in place, the green space and how attentive the educators with the kids. Highly recommend this centre!

I only have positive things to say about this centre. My child started here two weeks ago and I couldn't have been made to feel more at ease leaving him in their care. My son has settled in quickly and I believe this is because the staff are attentive and caring. They always take the time to discuss your child with you at the start and the end of the day. They encourage and seek feedback and are always looking for ways to improve. I love this attitude. In regards to the mosquitos, yes there are currently some around the centre. This is mostly due to the extensive amount of rain that we have been experiencing. The staff are working on ways to combat the world's most annoying insect and prevent the children from being bitten. I haven't noticed any mosquito bites on my child. A long winded review, but I honestly feel that this centre should have a review rating that reflects the wonderful staff here. 5 stars.

A nice setting at the university, good staff, just watch out for mosquitoes next to the pond there. They have mitigation measures for that, but my child still ended up with the occasional bite. Weird that 2 of the negative reviews are from people in Melbourne.
