We have had a very positive experience with this childcare which has cared for our son since he was 1. We have seen so much positive growth and confidence in him as well ad independence and this would not be possible without the amazing team of educators who have showed support during his settling-in period especially from a very clingy little boy. Thay have been great and helpful with establishing routine especially around meal and nap time - not to mention our son getting creative everyday, looking forward for another art, play and sing/dance session with his peers and educators. Because of these, we have seen so much progress in his speech and social skills- all thanks to the wonderful, caring and professional educators who have created a safe and supportive environment for the children. The way communication and updates are delivered has always been reassuring and most of all, knowing our son is happy and well cared for gives us complete peace of mind. I would wholeheartedly recommend this centre to families seeking quality care. Thanks heaps team!!

This childcare is second to none. My little one loves it there. The place is clean, he loves the food and looooooves the staff. It really is like a great big family. I have referred friends, which is always a little nerve wracking, and they love it too! I was pro-Montessori childcare before I found this place and now, would never go back. They’re even helping to toilet train him, which is a God-send, and are doing an amazing job of it. Thanks to all of the staff here for showing my kid love, not just giving him education.
