SDN Linthorpe St is a wonderful educational setting for children. The educators are so invested, the centre is beautiful and the chef is wonderful. Each time we’ve needed support, the director and administrative assistant have been super quick to communicate and really supportive of all of the challenges that come with having small kids. I cannot speak highly enough of the centre. We have had a very positive 4 years there.

My son prior to starting with SDN was struggling with multiple daycares due too his social & behavioural struggles. He was struggling building friendships with his peers and teachers and was treated like a burden with his past daycares & educators. When my son joined SDN Owl’s House I was extremely stressed and nervous that my son would never be able too have a positive experience with childcare/school. My son was pretty much non verbal & only able to speak a few words. Due too this his behaviour would often be a struggle, such as pushing peers, throwing toys & hurting his self. The director Sharifa & Educators Joyce, Miguel & Ayumi reassured me that they will try there hardest and help with strategies. & they did much more!!! The first 3 months was difficult with my sons behaviour but the Educators never made him feel like a burden & had so much patience too support him when he’s overstimulated. They also made a spot for him to calm down when everything is a bit much for him. For the first time ever my son has built friendships with peers & his teachers. His behaviour is amazing and he’s speaking much more. I am extremely grateful too have found a childcare with such amazing a caring team! The director Sharifa went above and beyond for my son & his needs & I am eternally grateful too the educators Joyce, Miguel & Ayumi. I have always been worried of school for my son due to him living with Autism & ADHD but thanks to SDN I have such a positive view on the future ahead for him. Thank you Sharifa, Joyce, Miguel & all of SDN Owls House From the bottom of my heart I appreciate & thank you for helping Jib & my self. 🫶🏼🫶🏼

Staff knows your (parents) name, not only your child. Each educator is experienced and truely care about children. They handle accidents and kids being mishaps well. Most of the staff are uber there for long time which means they have been looking after their educators well.

Our son is in the preschooler room, having been at the centre since he was a baby. The teachers are lovely, and you really get the sense they care about the children and want the best for them. In the time we have been there, there has been very little staff turnover. This gives us confidence that the centre is being run well and the staff are happy there, and it’s been so nice for my son being surrounded by the same familiar faces since he started. My daughter is about to start when she turns one and I can’t imagine sending her anywhere else.

We’ve had such a wonderful experience with SDN Kingsford. The educators are genuinely caring, patient, and always go above and beyond to make the children feel safe, loved, and excited to learn. Highly recommend!

While Georgy and I were having a conversation (randomly about SDN!), he paused and said out of the blue, "I miss Mittu." It was so heartwarming! He also asked me to send a special "hello" to Ashton, Yulia, and Mathew. From our end, we are sending a massive hug and all our love to the entire group of SDN friends and teachers. Georgy truly misses everyone!

SDN Kingsford at UNSW Sydney (Owl's House) has truly become an extension of our family. From the very first day, the educators welcomed us with genuine warmth and made our child feel safe, comfortable, and understood. It’s the kind of place where you can see the love and care in every interaction—small moments that mean so much to parents and little ones. That's why we send our second child there too—with our eyes shut! The team takes the time to really get to know each child, their quirks, their interests, and what makes them feel at home. Our child absolutely thrives there, we’re amazed at how much our child learns while still having so much fun. What we appreciate most is the sense of community. It feels less like a childcare centre and more like a village of people who genuinely care about our child. We’re so grateful to have found SDN Kingsford at UNSW Sydney (Owl's House)—it’s a place where our child is not just looked after, but loved. Highly recommended for any family wanting a nurturing, family-like environment. Thank you!
