I just want to thank Julie for giving my daughter (who is neurodiverse) her first big break working in childcare - as well as her team for welcoming her with lots of support. It just shows her (and her team) compassion, kindness and understanding. Although we never got the chance to speak to each other, from the bottom of my heart, I just want to express my heartfelt thank you.

We can’t speak highly enough of the centre and the improvements they have made in the past 8 months. One of the things we have always been happy with is the educators. They have all gone out of their way to connect with our daughter but I cannot thank her regular educators enough for everything they have done for our daughter. Kakali, Rani and (baby whisper) Homeria are patient, kind and have helped our little one develop so much. They understand our daughter’s individual needs and have taught her so much. All the educators have worked so hard on building trust with her. We love chef Laurent who always says hello and is happy to share a much loved recipe. We’ve been impressed with the new director Claire and assistant director Rhiannon who are always happy to listen to any concerns or answer any questions we have and have been transparent and supportive.

I recommend Rhodes O.A.C. in the highest possible terms because it is truly a 'gem' that provides more than just childcare; it provides a family. From the front-of-house management to the educators in the rooms, there is a consistent culture of warmth, joy, and deep investment in every child’s well-being. The team at O.A.C Rhodes has been our absolute rock and management there is exceptional, guiding our son through every developmental milestone with a level of commitment and magic that is nearly impossible to replicate. Their ability to create a safe, curiosity-driven environment allowed our son to flourish, and the peace of mind they gave us as parents is invaluable. Any family would be lucky to have their child shaped by such a beautiful team of professionals. We are very sad to be leaving

We couldn't be happier with our experience here! The staff are truly amazing—Matilda, Belinda, and Georgia are wonderful educators who genuinely care about my child’s individual development. Under Ariane’s leadership, the center has such a supportive environment. ​One of the things I appreciate most is their recent shift away from iPads. By putting the screens down and focusing less on filling out 'daily diary' content, the educators are so much more present. Since this change, my child has been much more communicative about their day without me needing to check an app first! ​The child-led learning programs are fantastic. My child is always excited to go in the morning and occasionally doesn’t even want to leave at pickup because they are having so much fun. I highly recommend this center to any parent!

As a parent, we’ve had a very positive experience with this daycare that both of our children have attended here. Our first child thrived, which made enrolling our second an easy decision. The educators are truly exceptional — Especially for Seema, Ivy and Anuj, for their kindness, patience, and genuine care. They create a warm, supportive environment where children feel safe, happy, and valued every day. I would also like to give a big shout-out to the chef, who provides such nutritious and well-balanced meals for so many years here. We are incredibly grateful to the whole team and highly recommend this centre to any family.

Wonderful staff and centre. Educators show real care when looking after our little ones. Great communication and commitment to safety. Wonderful staff and centre. Educators show real care when looking after our little ones. Great communication and commitment to safety.

My daughter Vianna has attended OAC melb central last year for 6 months and our experience is very excellent. All teachers are welcoming, caring and nurturing to the kids. My daughter even though she is just 3.5 years has learned alot from letter number familiarization to writing her own name. She has built confidence and social skills and friendship. Thank you so much to her dear educators!

We had a very positive experience at the OAC Melbourne Centre. We observed significant growth in our daughter throughout all phases of her development. Initially, she was very shy and reluctant to interact with her peer group; however, with consistent support and encouragement from the educators, she gradually became more confident and engaged. All staff members were exceptionally caring, supportive, and professional. As a first-time parent sending my child to childcare, I had many questions, and the OAC team was always patient, understanding, and reassuring. Our daughter’s final day was very emotional for us, and both my daughter and I miss the team greatly. A heartfelt thank you to Negar, Sarah, and Xinyu for their outstanding care and support.

This daycare has made some big changes within the time that my son has been attending here, and I truly believe that they listen to the children as well as the parents and take on board any issues or concerns that people may have and act fast to rectify and resolve them i.e. a problem with a director of the campus, lack of cleaning or the policies on sick children attending daycare etc. Every single person that works here is passionate, friendly, caring and kind. They all do such a hard job and always have a smile on their face or time for both the children and their parents. It's absolutely fantastic and I couldn't recommend this place more highly even if I tried!!! They keep you in the loop with photos, daily routines, a curriculum or plan for the fortnight. You also get newsletters and things will be stuck on the doors. My son absolutely LOVES going to daycare and all the workers all know him and say hello to both mother and child. Thank you for not only taking care of my son but for making me feel comfortable and knowing he is safe and in good hands, whilst also teaching him new things and helping him learn and grow into an independent and bright young child. This place truly offers little ones the potential to flourish.

We have looked at many daycares in the past and nothing compares to OAC Artarmon. The campus, the educators, the onsite chef, the amazing classrooms and outdoor play areas. We have 2 children who currently attend OAC and both started at a young age in the Nursery/Babies room with Lucy and Shan, amazing educators who we have trusted from the beginning. The educators are extremely caring and they get to know your child regardless of what room they are in. The room leaders including Annabeth and Aastha are excellent as well as the permanent casuals. They have a really good team in place and we are happy to be part of the OAC family.
