We cannot speak highly enough of our beautiful family daycare educator Carolyn Deegan and the incredible care she has given our family. She has been caring for our son, Mac, since he was just 4 months old, and throughout the years, she has provided him with so much love, kindness, patience and support. Knowing he was in such a warm, nurturing and safe environment gave us so much peace of mind as parents. Her genuine love for the children shines through in everything she does. She creates a welcoming, happy environment where every child feels loved, valued and cared for. The programs and activities she runs are wonderful, engaging and thoughtfully planned to support the children’s learning, development, creativity and confidence. It has been so special to watch Mac grow and develop under her care, from a tiny 4-month-old baby to the little boy he is today. Mac has recently transitioned on to preschool, and we will always be thankful for the care and affection she has shown him and for the positive impact she has had on his early childhood. We feel incredibly fortunate that she is now also caring for our youngest son, Eddie. Having the confidence and trust to leave both of our boys in her care is something we will never take for granted. Knowing Eddie is receiving the same love, kindness and nurturing care that Mac experienced makes us so happy. It is truly special to have someone who has become such a valued part of our family’s journey caring for both our boys. We wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for a caring, dedicated and family daycare educator. Leaving your baby in someone else’s care is never easy, but she makes that journey so much easier. Mac has been truly blessed to have had her in his life, and we know Eddie is just as lucky to have her caring for him.

Carolyn has been like family to me since day dot. I had my son enrolled to start before he was even born, as I work at the local Community Kindy close by; and several of my preschool kids had attended Carolyn’s Family Day Care too. I’d only heard wonderful things and I now know why. I was an anxious first time Mum and Carolyn kept my mind at ease the entire time we attended. Carolyn is professional, friendly, nurturing, honest, experienced, generous, kind and warm and I thank my lucky stars I came across her. My son loved attending there and my only regret is we couldn’t stay longer due to location and change of family circumstances. Being in the industry, I’m aware the number one factor amongst most else is the relationship that the carers have with the children and I know my boy will remember Carolyn forever.

Carolyn is a loving, caring, patient and a fun educator and this is a reflection of how much our son loves her. Carolyn has a wonderful set up with a large variety of toys and different weekly experiences for the children in her care to engage in. Carolyn is structured & organised and extremely confident in taking care of a range of age groups all at the same time (this is serious talent) She is knowledgeable in her childcare field, and a great support to new mothers leaving their babies for the first time. To say I am grateful to have crossed paths with Carolyn is an understatement and if I could give 10 stars I would. We Highly recommend 🫶🏼

Carolyn is a lovely, caring educator who welcomed my son into her home. She provides a clean, personalised and engaging service, with a large variety of resources for the children. My son has enjoyed excursions to the local street library, playground, and on the bus to Dee Why library. Although he has moved on to preschool this year, he has loved his days in Carolyn's care and will miss her immensely. I highly recommend this service.

Our daughter has been with Carolyn for 4 years and has always loved her time there. Carolyn is a kind and empathetic person who provides a safe, secure and engaging environment for the children. Carolyn has always adapted to our daughter’s age and stage by providing a variety of experiences to foster her growth and learning. Our daughter has also loved visiting the park, the street library and the library. Carolyn provides exceptional and individualised care for all of the children in her care 😊

My daughter was cared for by Carolyn for 18 months. We found Carolyn to be very engaging, well organised and caring. Carolyn fostered an environment where the children felt very comfortable with each other and felt confident to explore new skills. We always knew Mariana was learning and having fun, not just being 'babysat'. The space is clean and safe and Carolyn always rotates the books and toys out for use each week so that the children have something new to explore and share. My daughter still waves to Carolyn's house every time we walk past and reminisces happily about interactions and friendships.

Carolyn is just beautiful with the children in her care, Ollie talked about her like a treasured family member and I was always confident that he was being loved, cared for and stimulated within a home like environment whenever he was with her. I would not hesitate to recommend Carolyn to friends and family, I’ve never come across a service quite like it. It felt like dropping him off with a loving aunt. We are sad to be moving on to preschool and will miss Carolyn dearly.
