Best childcare centre in the area. The educators are very kind and loving.

Do not send your child here. On numerous occasions my husband and I witnessed unnecessary screaming at two year old crying children by Shannon in the younger room. If you want your child to be in a positive learning environment and grow with confidence steer clear. Staff are constantly turning over and barely met the ratio. Work experience trainees were doing the heavy lifting. Find somewhere nicer for your child by all means, I would give zero stars if I could.

I’m a very cautious, analytical parent and after touring so many centres, St Nics was the first place where I felt completely comfortable. The atmosphere is so calm and loving — the staff are genuinely warm, the kids are happy, and there’s a beautiful balance of outdoor play, music, books, good food, and even church time that gives kids a sense of purpose and belonging. Everyone, from the admin team to the Director, makes you feel welcome and treats your child as an individual, not just a number. Highly recommend! (I’ve used an alias to protect my privacy.)

Our son has absolutely loved attending St Nics. The educators are fantastic, very caring and there is very low turnover so a familiar face each day. Since going I can see he is learning so much through their programs. I cannot recommend enough!

Amazing centre & brilliant staff! St Nics’ is outstanding! We are extremely happy with the care, compassion and education our little one receives here. The centre is beautiful, lots of outside space, and the staff are extremely dedicated and nurturing. Parents are kept well informed and the culture is very inclusive. We only wish that we had found St Nics’ earlier! They accept children from 2yo and have longer opening hours than we had expected, which is an added bonus. Highly recommend this centre to everyone!

St Nics’ we love and miss you! You are like a little treasure we love to share with pride, knowing that anyone we refer you to will be happy and thankful! We are so grateful for the amazing care our daughter Lea benefitted from her time at SNCP! If you are looking for a small structure , with love, attention and care and a solid pre-school programme for essential foundations prior to kindy, look no further! The whole team is amazing! Special mention too for the French parents of Coogee who will for sure appreciate the frequent chats in French with Annie :)

Our youngest attended St Nics for a year before starting Kindy and not only found a loving and supportive pre-school but a community focused and passionate staff. We highly recommend St Nics for families looking for a warm and inviting classroom where your child learns skills needed to set them up for success at school as well as healthy habits and social skills as they interact appropriately with their peers and teachers. We miss St Nics and have such beautiful memories from the time spent there.

SNCP is a gem of a preschool, in an area full of them. My son was there for almost three years and he absolutely loved it there! The team there (educators and support staff) have been nothing but caring and attentive. He is very close to us and it took him a long while to adjust to being away from us, but everyone at SNCP was simply amazing at making him feel safe and loved, and we could not ask for a better team to nurture and nourish him. I say nourish as well because amongst the many great things there is that there is an amazing chef that prepares fresh and wholesome food daily on site for 3 meals a day. My son very much enjoyed her cooking, not to mention she also educates them about eating healthy and wholesome food. They even started growing some herbs, where the children get to learn about some edible ones first hand, and learn about where food comes from and how to look after them. To my knowledge, having a chef on site who prepares daily meals is not common, let alone one that also makes yummy and wholesome food that the children enjoys! And that also educates them about healthy food! This is definitely a distinct strength of SNCP. My son still talks about everyone there (now that he started kindergarten), and how he is excited to see them again when he picks up his little sister next time when she joins later in the year. Thank you again to everyone in the SNCP community :).
