From day one, my child has had nothing but a positive learning experience. The educators show care to my child and the 2 managers Nicole and Melina are always lovely and welcoming. I’ve always been well informed of everything going on at the centre and with my child which is important to me.

After moving our baby from another centre to FiRST, we’re very pleased with the centre here. I love that the nursery has a lower capacity per day, and children get more one on one attention and support from the educators. Chloe was great last year, and Taylah has been absolutely wonderful this year. Communication is great within storypark, and also the communication book that the educators write in to keep us updated as to anything needed/the progress of our son. Handovers aren’t rushed and Taylah/other educators will always give us a detailed summary of the day.

Both of my neurodiverse children have attended first early learning, my daughter, who graduated kinder in 2024, always speaks highly of her kindergarten teacher to this day. My son has been through several of the rooms now as he’s grown and has developed so much socially and developmentally during his time there. The educators have worked with us through all the documentation for both children (adhd/asd for my eldest, documenting asd for my son) and I couldn’t be more thankful for the effort that goes towards this. My sons interests are always reflected in the room and he’s never forced to participate in group activities which we genuinely appreciate as he struggles with social things, and he now waves to everyone and his speech has come a long way! We cannot be more thankful to the educators and management for our journey with them so far! Management have always been helpful and kind, we consider many of the staff friends at this point 🩷
