I can’t say enough good things about Care a lot. It’s small, cozy, and has such a welcoming space! Nicky, the owner, is absolutely amazing, and every single staff member is kind, caring, and attentive. My daughter truly loves coming here, which means everything to me. After having a bad experience at another centre, the moment I walked into this one I felt at home and that feeling has never changed. I highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a safe, loving environment for their child.

When I first walked through the doors of Care A Lot Kindy, I was just another anxious parent hoping to find someone who would love my daughter Ocean as much as I do. What I found was so much more than a daycare – I found a second family. From day one, Nicky welcomed us with open arms and an understanding heart. Her communication wasn't just professional; it was personal, thoughtful, and genuine. She didn't just see Ocean as another child in her care – she saw her as the precious little person she is, with her own unique personality, needs, and dreams. Nicky's ability to truly listen and understand what Ocean needed, and what I needed as her parent, was nothing short of extraordinary. But it wasn't just Nicky who made Care A Lot Kindy special. Every single educator who cared for Ocean treated her with the tenderness, patience, and love that any parent would. They celebrated her victories, comforted her tears, and nurtured her growth with the same devotion I would have given her myself. They didn't just watch her – they cherished her. Ocean would light up when she saw her teachers each morning, and that joy in her eyes told me everything I needed to know. She felt safe, loved, and valued. The way they remembered her favourite toy (Kirk the Koala), how they knew exactly what would make her smile on a difficult day, and how they celebrated every milestone as if she were their own child – these are the moments that made Care A Lot Kindy genuinely one of a kind. As we move forward to our next chapter, I carry with me the peace of mind that comes from knowing my daughter experienced unconditional love and care during some of her most formative years. The foundation of trust, kindness, and joy that the team at Care A Lot Kindy helped build in Ocean will stay with her forever. To Nicky and every educator who poured their hearts into caring for Ocean – thank you. You didn't just provide childcare; you provided a loving environment where my daughter could flourish. You are exceptional people doing extraordinary work, and Ocean and I are forever grateful. Care A Lot Kindy isn't just a daycare – it's a place where children are treasured, families are supported, and love is the foundation of everything they do. They are absolutely one of a kind. With all my love and gratitude, Felicity Presnell (Ocean's mum) xox

Like many parents, I was very nervous about my child starting kindy and asked around for recommendations. Care A Lot Kindy 2 had the best reviews, and for good reason. All of the educators have been patient and kind with my child and he has developed a strong connection with all of them - 2 in particular :) He wakes up excited to go to kindy and not only to see his friends, but to learn. He has so much fun learning thanks to the care and thoughtful planning of the staff. The best part of my day, every day, is seeing the photos from kindy and witnessing his development, in every sense. Thank you so much to the staff for welcoming us with smiles each morning.

I have two children that are at Care a Lot. I am very impressed with all aspects of their care and service. The teachers are fantastic. A highlight would be the daily reports and key developmental updates.

Care A Lot Kindy is the best daycare you could pick for your precious little ones. We were very selective when deciding and chose Care A Lot because of its boutique class size, strong reputation in the local community and the loving/caring environment created by everyone that works there to our children and others. We would highly recommend trying to secure your spot in a place like this before they’re full!

Our son has attended Care A Lot since the age of 16 months. We could not have hoped for a better start to his early learning and socialisation. Nikki, Amy and the entire team create a nurturing, welcoming environment and he loves his days spent playing with his friends, exploring and learning at Care A Lot.

We absolutely loved the three years our son attended Care A lot. It was easy dropping our son off everyday due to the wonderful staff and the smaller, caring environment. Some centres are like chicken farms with too many children and this is what we did not want. Would highly recommend.

Both of my sons went to Care a lot and it was their home away from home. Nikki and her team show incredible warmth and support. My kids never wanted to leave.

I sent my son to care a lot and was very happy with the experience. You can just see on a daily basis how much the educators care for your child and you get that nice family feel when you drop off every morning. You can tell that they take the time to get to know your child. I appreciated when they told me about how day, sometimes without asking. The staff are also very approachable and knowledgeable and you can see the kids have a great time. There is a great balance of indoor and outdoor activities as well. If you are looking for somewhere in between family daycare a big centre i highly recommend care a lot 2.

Putting your first child into daycare at 10 months old is quite emotional, and I was nervous, like I think most parents are. The first week my son cried each day when I dropped him off, but Niki and the girls were very supportive and helpful to guide me through this period as quick as possible. From about week 2 onwards there were no more tears, and now when I drop him off he runs away from me to give the girls a big hug and say hello to all of his friends! He is now 18months old and has developed such a bond with all of the girls at Care A Lot. It is so wonderful for him to have had the same carers that were there when he started. And I can see that they genuinely love him and care about him. Niki has managed to create a wonderful team - and you can see that all of the carers have a lot of respect and warmth for each other, and seem to all be great friends. Which gives the entire daycare a warm and loving vibe. We live up the street and I walk past the daycare fence during the day sometimes to get a coffee at lunch, and I can hear all of the kids and the carers giggling. I would be lying if I said I didn't get a little tear of joy some days when I walk past and hear it, and know my son is in there absorbing all of the happiness and learning that Niki and the carers give to him. Nikki, Cherry, Mary, Mona, Camille, Inbal Judi, Sam THANK YOU!
