I cannot recommend KU Ultimo highly enough! Our daughter originally attended KU Lance, and when it closed, we transitioned here alongside the wonderful Director, Ewa. Our family has been through some incredibly tough times recently, and I honestly don’t know what we would have done without Ewa and her team. They supported us to the absolute extreme with so much genuine warmth, kindness, and empathy. Under Ewa’s amazing leadership, KU Ultimo has become a second home for my daughter. She loves going every day, has made wonderful friends, and is constantly picking up new hobbies. The educators here are so capable, deeply caring, and keep the centre spotlessly clean. A massive bonus is the outdoor area. It’s absolutely lovely and such a rare gem in the Sydney CBD, where everything else is just concrete buildings. If you are looking for a daycare that feels like family and provides a beautiful environment for your child to thrive, this is it. We are so incredibly grateful to the whole team!

We've been with KU Ultimo for 6 years now, both my kids have attended from nursery up until pre-school and I can confidently recommend this centre. The teachers are caring, empathetic and involved, the environment is built around natural resources with plenty of outdoor areas such as sandpit and mudkitchen. I trust KU Ultimo as my village to raise my children safely, respectfully and lovingly.

I highly recommend KU Ultimo - Our family has been apart of this community for close to 8 years consecutively between my 3 children. Their stand out features for me is their large natural outdoor play space. Finding a centre in the city with this is very rare, bunnies and chickens included! What truly sets this centre apart, however, is the consistency of the educators. It speaks volumes about the management and culture that so many staff members are long-standing. There is something incredibly special about having the same educators who looked after my eldest who are now caring for my youngest; that level of trust and continuity has kept us at the centre. Even in times of relocation, the travel was well worth it for me because I knew my children were settled and nurtured here. Easily accessible by L1 light rail, Ultimo Public School, Ian Thorpe Aquatic centre and Wentworth Park sporting fields; KU Ultimo is so central to get the after school activities done with your older children whilst the younger ones are cared for at the centre.
