Truly the best team ever 💙❤️ We feel so incredibly grateful for the love, care, and support this amazing team has shown our two little ones. After recently seeing so many stories about childcare challenges across Australia, we’re constantly reminded how fortunate we are to have found such a wonderful centre. The entire team is not only professional and dedicated, but also genuinely caring — always going above and beyond to support our children’s growth, learning, and wellbeing. The sense of community here is something truly special, and it means the world to us knowing our kids are in such capable and compassionate hands. Well done and thank you Lockleys team — we appreciate you more than words can say!

My 2.5 years old attended this centre in their pre-kindy room since Jan 2021. From the moment my husband and I walked into the centre for a visit, we loved the place: The kitchen was in the pre-kindy room and food being cooked smelt yummy; There was no smell of yucky nappy like many other centres we visited; a teacher was doing singing and dancing with a group of toddlers; so many other interactive toys set up in different spots of the room; the room leads out to such lovely backyard with a tree providing shade in the summer, a little hill for sliding down on a board, bike tracks and peddle bikes, a big sandpit and wheelbarrow and a veggie garden... I can keep going. Since our son attended their centre, we have quickly and consistently received professional help and feedback - not just "oh he had a good play today". At dropoff, it is clear that all carers had their eyes on the children and whenever my son or other kids became upset when being dropped off, they will go over and skilfully invite them to play or "help me with" something to assist the parents. The feedback was professional in discussing my son's social skills and developments and explaining how the centre is helping him adapt and improve. It is also clear my son always had a big day of play from the look of his clothes and his feedback. He often told me "I love childcare". The staff members have not changed in the time we were there (not high turnover) and most have had children themselves so they understand children and parents better. At my son's first day, all carers remembered all of our names. Without going into too much details, we feel the carers are always present with the kids (not our experience elsewhere) and genuinely know and care about every individual toddler in the room. Being an overly anxious mother, I've never been fully satisfied with any childcare centre until we found this one - sadly we are relocating interstate and my son will have to leave this centre. Will miss you guys. btw, the grandparents also loved the place and grandma thought you guys were very welcoming and inclusive and displayed professionalism.

All the staff are fantastic and my two kids love coming to the centre. They take very good care of the children, and I have always been happy, and never had any issues or concerns which I have experienced at other centres previously.. Couldn’t ask for a better centre. Also love the large outdoor space for the older children, was one of the reasons I was attracted initially. Would recommend 100%.

Hi Mel, Thank you for choosing our service! We are very proud of our outdoor environment.
