I toured Little Teds recently after visiting a few other centres. During the tour, all the staff members were Indian and majority of the kids were also Indian. Several staff held side conversations in Indian language while we were present. While I respect multilingual workplaces, it left us unsure whether they were talking about us. It was very rude and unprofessional. When families are on site, I expect staff conversations to be in English. I felt like I went to India when at the centre. We value cultural diversity and I am not being racist in anyway. Australia is proudly multicultural, and we love experiencing different cultures. We’d also love to see a multicultural mix of staff and families, as that creates rich learning opportunities. Our children could learn from a range of languages, traditions, and perspectives shared by educators and other children. Not just all being Indian. I’ve also been told there has been significant staff turnover since the change in ownership, which raises concerns. Read more

A heartfelt and honest review from a happy parent: Yes, it is true that early this year Little Teds went through a difficult period during a change in management. Communication was poor, the transition was stressful, and wonderful long-term staff were unfortunately lost. Many families made the decision to leave, and we seriously considered it too. We chose to stay and give Little Teds a second chance, and I am so glad we did. The transition period is now behind them. The team has settled, and the staff who remained have shown great dedication and care. The two new educators in the kindy room, Emma and Hema, have been a fantastic addition to the team. They are warm, professional, and genuinely engaged with the children and parents. My son is in the kindy room and I am very happy with the care he is receiving, the quality of the program, and the overall environment. The special Little Teds vibe that we loved is definitely back. If you are looking for a small centre with low child-to-educator ratios, nurturing staff, and the flexibility to pack your child a lunchbox with food you know they like and will actually eat, Little Teds is definitely still worth considering. PS: This is a genuine review. I was not asked or encouraged to write it. Read more

A warm and welcoming centre with a strong focus on children’s wellbeing and development. The environment is engaging, well-organised, and filled with meaningful learning experiences. The staff are friendly, professional, and clearly passionate about what they do. It’s great to see children supported not just academically, but also emotionally and socially. Read more
