After recently moving into the area, we were very hesitant about enrolling our two-year-old into care for the first time, but it turned out to be one of the best decisions we have made. The team at Grove Academy Wollongong made the transition feel smooth and reassuring for both us and our child. The staff are kind, nurturing, and genuinely invested in the children’s wellbeing. Since starting, we have seen such positive growth in our child’s confidence and happiness. We are so grateful for the care and support provided and would highly recommend Grove Academy Wollongong to other families.

We are so happy with our experience at The Grove Academy Wollongong. The educators across every room are absolutely amazing and genuinely care for the children like their own. The 0–2 Explorers Room has been so nurturing, loving and supportive during those important early years. The educators always make us feel comfortable and informed, and our child absolutely adores them. The 2–3 Voyagers Room has been incredible for helping build confidence, independence and social skills through fun and engaging learning experiences. The 3–5 Achievers Room is fantastic in preparing children for school while still creating such a warm, caring and fun environment. The educators put so much effort into every activity and truly support each child’s individual growth and development. You can really see the passion and dedication from all of the staff every single day. Highly recommend The Grove Academy Wollongong to any family looking for a home away from home!

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at TGA Wollongong. From the very beginning, the educators and staff have been warm, caring, and genuinely invested in the children’s development and wellbeing. The centre has created such a welcoming, safe, and nurturing environment where children are encouraged to learn, explore, and grow with confidence. Communication with families is excellent, and it’s clear that the team puts a lot of thought and effort into creating engaging activities and meaningful learning experiences every day. The educators are patient, kind, and passionate about what they do, and it reflects in the strong relationships they build with both the children and parents. Highly recommend TGA Wollongong to any family looking for a supportive and high-quality early learning centre.

TGA Wollongong is an incredible centre. Since starting there, my child has grown in leaps and bounds. The educators and centre staff are such beautiful, warm people who foster a really friendly and welcoming environment. They genuinely care for the children and are invested in their happiness, health and growth. I’m forever grateful we were lucky enough to secure a spot! I highly recommend TGA Wollongong to any parents looking for quality care.

I would just like to thank Catey the director and the educators in the achievers room. I am writing from a personal and from a business perspective. For a start they are so wonderful with my daughter Mahana and this is evident when we leave and Mahana has to make sure she hugs everyone goodbye! Kind, fun and supportive! I have also been running my business Rockin’ robins there bringing music fun to the achievers room. The support and enthusiasm shown has been brilliant. Not only are they supporting the kids they are supporting me by also having fun and getting involved! We love the grove!

My oldest daughter has been with TGA Wollongong since they opened and we are very happy with the care provided; If we have any concerns, the staff are very approachable and accommodating in coming to a solution that benefits us all. They are great at communicating with us parents and great at problem solving to make our kids day better. I've just had my second baby start too and TGA Wollongong have been amazing in the lead up to him starting. He is loving it and appears to be cared for very well by the staff! They provide photos of both my children throughout the day and they both appear to have a blast! I was quite anxious about my baby in the beginning as he had only ever napped on me during the day, but they've been amazing and will hold him for naps if he does not transfer to cot! I know that sometimes children go through stages of separation anxiety/teething/poor sleep/emotional development ect, and the staff have really shown me they care about my kids during all this; they will provide extra TLC when needed and are being honest if the kids haven't had the best of days. Excellent communication between staff and parents. Amazing activities for the kids to participate in. Approachable and friendly staff through the facility! 10/10, would highly recommend!!

The kids are left outside in the yard and keeping crying for a whole day looking for their parents.

Kids are left screaming and crying for their parents daily in the outdoor, courtyard area which can last up to an hour or more. I'm not sure what the purpose of this tactic is as some children are clearly hysterical and it doesn't seem like leaving a group of crying babies in an outdoor area does anything to calm them down. It also creates so much noise due to the echo between buildings and disrupts the residents of the surrounding apartment blocks. Residents are woken up daily to kids crying from 7am onwards - sometimes earlier.
