Fiona is a treasure, I’m so thankful I found her for my son. I have completely trusted him in her care and he has flourished.
She is passionate, caring and respectful to each child and tailors her approach to whatever their needs are. She’s one of those rare people who excel in her field. My son adores her and she will always have a special spot in our hearts.

I cannot speak highly enough about Fiona's day care. Her passion, dedication and sheer competency exceed any expectations I had for day care and even after her years or experience she is still eager to learn more by attending seminars and reading. Her service is more than day care; she nurtures, develops and loves the children in her care. I have complete confidence when our child is in her care and I am completely content that he is receiving the absolute highest level of care. I am so glad we found Fiona.

My youngest started at a local childcare centre at 12 months and while I knew his needs were generally being met I was never confident that he was being truly nurtured and catered for individually. Since moving him to Fi’s I can finally relax seeing the happiness on his face whenever it’s a fi-fi day. Fiona creates a loving, learning environment where my child feels completely valued and safe. She is so committed to each child and helping them in all areas of their development, and as a parent it’s a great comfort to see how well she understands their individual needs. The regular time spent out in nature exploring and engaging in child led creative play is something that other childcare environments weren’t able to offer and I have seen endless benefits for my little person. I’m very thankful to know my son will be learning and growing with Fi through these important couple of years before school.

Our daughter N joined Fifi's daycare a year ago and we have had a wonderful experience. N very quickly trusted Fifi and was excited about spending her days with her. Initially I picked her up after school pick-up, but soon my daughter requested to stay until the end of the day. A few weeks in she started calling Fifi Mummy 2, which in my opinion shows the trust and joy to spend time with FIona. As a parent I appreciate the effort and dedication Fiona has towards her job. The children spend a few hours outdoors in different reserves and nature spots in which they can explore and discover their surroundings. On days with poor weather Fiona still takes them out to the library, playgroup or sometimes to the museum. It is wonderful to see that an educator makes this effort to show the children different places for inspiration. Fiona is also very particular about literature. She ensures the children are exposed to high quality stories and illustrations and is open for new suggestions to explore the world of stories. We had a wonderful experience with you Fifi and we cannot recommend you enough to other children.

Fiona has been taking care of our daughter since she turned 2 and the difference that "going to see Fi Fi" has had on the whole family is enormously positive. Our daughter cannot wait to see Fi Fi and on our return from holiday or when she is with other child care arrangements we get constant requests to "go to Fi Fi's house" - which speaks for itself. Fiona not only provides excellent care for the children (both directly and in ensuring that they are encouraged to support each other) but she also gives great support to the parents - willingly sharing her years of experience on every topic imaginable and also providing great updates throughout the day. Service delivery = 10/10, areas for improvement - zero! Thank you Fiona.

Fiona has cared for our son for two days a week for the past 18 months. The care she has provided is of an exceptionally high standard. He thoroughly enjoys his 'FiFi days’, and talks endlessly of how he spends his days there. He particularly loves the daily outings where the kids are encouraged to play, explore and learn through nature. Fiona's love for books and passion for early literacy is wonderfully embedded throughout the day’s routines and in the kids play. I cannot thank her enough for providing such a loving and nurturing environment all while supporting and encouraging our son in every area of his development. We cannot recommend Fiona highly enough!

I can't thank enough to Fiona to taking care of my son. We are a family where English is our second language. Thanks to Fiona my son's English improved a lot, and not only that but also his confidence and the way he interacts with other kids. Fiona encourages the love for reading, enjoying the outdoors. My son loves her and he really enjoys being with her. Fiona's Family Day Care is an extension of home. Fiona looks after kids in such a way that all parents would be happy and thankful.
