If you want your child to learn and be ready for school this is not the place to send them. It’s basically like two extra years of crèche. My child cries at the thought of having to go there each day- kids are wild and teachers can’t contain them. Not to mention, she doesn’t even know her basics! Honestly the centre leadership and communication is sloppy the genuine care for kids is lacking and their teachers are all young ones who aren’t trained well enough to provide quality learning and care. They try to sell themselves as a centre who focuses on social and emotional learning rather than academics but don’t be fooled- they don’t even do that. If I could give less than one star- I would.

I have has my children over the past 6 years attending either this centre or their Grange Road location. I have been overall happy with the Buddies centres and their management during this time. In Particular, the quality of the educators, the curriculum and the quality of the food provided at Buddies Jasper has been exceptional. The whole team is extremely caring and warm, their influence on my children has been truly amazing and they have been an integral part of the growth of both my children. I couldn't recommend Buddies enough! Read more

I have had a great experience at Buddies and love the tight knit community. My children have developed their confidence, education and their emotional intelligence since attending. Staff have been very supportive and helpful when I have raised concerns or needed advice. Read more

From the moment we stepped into the door the place felt so homely and our Raph settled in so smoothly due to the warm care that he received from the teachers (all of which he still has to this day). I can’t say enough about the sense of community, attention paid to get to know each child and the activities that are offered each day. The children have a lot of freedom to explore their own interests and i feel that the educators know each child so well, which makes me deeply trust that they will look after his well-being as well as I could. I will sending be all my children to buddies and am looking forward to doing so! Truely a special place Read more

My kid was going there full time, I trusted the place and the manager but it turned out to be unreliable. They would give your kid an icy pole when your kid gets upset, they would let them have a water play and be outside all day (even in winter) and would do the minimum with the kids. Some teachers would say to your kid to "go away" if they try to get close to them. There is lots more but I'd rather keep it to myself. Do yourself a favour and stay away from this place. Read more

I can't provide too many details but I'll just say that we no longer trust the principal. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO AVOID THIS CENTRE. Read more
