My daughter has been here for over a year now, and it’s been such a positive experience. She used to be quite shy and didn’t talk much, but since coming here, she’s opened up so much. She’s a lot more confident now, and her self-care skills have improved heaps too. The educators are all so caring and really put a lot of effort into looking after the kids. Staff turnover is low, which we really appreciate, and they know my daughter so well. These days my daughter is always excited to go and literally can’t wait to head out in the morning! The centre has a big play area and a great art room, and they even have a dedicated art teacher. It’s made such a difference — my daughter has totally fallen in love with drawing. Super grateful for all the support and would definitely recommend this place to other families! 😊

We have our one year old daughter at Imagine Childcare. From the moment we did a tour we knew it was the right place for us. Such a welcoming and nurturing environment. Great facilities for her to grow, learn and have fun! We couldn't be happier knowing she is well looked after and truly cared for. The curriculum is always a fun and enjoyable way to learn and have new experiences. Leah the director is fantastic, very hands on which you can tell because all the kids absolutely adore her. Special mention to Angela, great communication skills and is always goes above and beyond. Also to Nidhi, Bee, Giang and Ranaa who also take very special care with our little girl, she always come home happy and content. Highly recommend!!

Great environment. Our daughter enjoys it at Imagine. Friendly staff. Healthy food.

Amazing and caring staff. They support a holistic growth for kids. Sent my 1st here and 2nd one is there now. No complaints whatsoever.

My children have been attending this childcare for a few years now, and we couldn’t be happier. The staff and educators are genuinely dedicated to caring for and supporting the children. Their support has made such a positive difference to our children’s growth and happiness. An incredible team, thank you so much Imagine!

Wonderful childcare centre! My children are in the Nursery and Junior Kinder rooms, and the educators have been absolutely amazing. They are caring, supportive, and truly dedicated to the children. The management team is very approachable and always helps to resolve any issues immediately. We have noticed so many positive changes recently, which shows how committed they are to continuously improving. We feel very happy and confident leaving our children here and highly recommend this centre to other families.

Our 3yo has been attending the centre since nursery but we have made the difficult decision to change daycare centres, despite being a convenient 2 min walk from our house. The sum of small issues. When he was around 2yo, our son had issues with an older child and was escalated to head office, we felt this was handled poorly by the centre. End of day/week reports were specific to our child, now they are a generic copy and paste and we have no confidence that meals/drinks/toilet is even accurate - if provided at all. We have had privacy issues, where our contact details and those of other parents were in the open for anyone to take. This was rectified after we raised it as a concern. Poor comms from the centre after any incident made parents feel guilty and instead could have referred parents to the centre's policy and procedure documentation. The centre is more expensive than like centres in the area and the rooms compared to other centres we have toured are bare of play based learning tools. Several times when I have picked up my child, his water bottle was left in another room. We now have concerns that our child is a risk to others kids as he is much older and bigger than kids in the same room (all of his peers had been gradually moved through to junior kinder, while he remains in the toddler room) and due to this policy, he is often separated from his friends and peers as they play in the room next door. We believe that this has led to some behaviour issues at home and months of our child refusing to go to day care. The Kinder program was not enticing enough to consider continuing enrolment at the centre, on balance with other centres, as they have no programs or affiliations with local schools, despite Oakleigh South PS at the end of the next street and Clarinda PS also close by. The educators are, for the most part, great but would benefit from some training in how to have 'difficult' conversations as I have experienced and witnessed these interactions have not gone well. I felt my child was safe and he has certainly learnt a lot through his time at Imagine. This is why I have generously given a 3 star review and not less. I would not recommend to other parents at present and I hope the centre can improve.
