I really love Mount Colah centre! My daughter is usually very shy and didn’t like to speak much. But after just three months here, we’ve seen such a big change—she’s started to speak more and more every day. Thank you so much to the educators for your patience, care, and support. You’ve made such a positive difference in her life!

Have had a great experience at the centre, aware of the history but none of that is evident anymore, great communication, committed team and always maintaining ratios and even having extra educators to support. I also haven't seen an agency staff member in months. There is new management, so give the centre a go and don't listen to the old reviews of families who have left months/years ago and not experienced all of the changes that have been put in place. They are also currently doing incursions once a month as a bonus for families.

We’re personally very happy with Miss Rubab and Miss Kanchan in 0-2 years old room and little inventors’ room. They have created a great bond with my boys and the drop off is no longer stressful for us. Nevertheless all educators in these rooms are doing amazing considering the amount of work they have.

Fancy having the new director leave a 5 star review on the service she is running, with no child present at the service. Having been inside this service and seeing first hand how they run, I can say that there are no opportunities for your children to thrive. While the educators do provide care for the children at the centre, there is no passion or interest amongst the staff in supporting the children to grow, and as a result there's nothing nurturing about the care offered. It's a matter of opening the doors at 7am, and counting down the hours until the children go home. This service runs off greed, and instead of working on their educators’ professional development, they spend more time asking them to leave a 5 star review to maintain a "high standard" reputation. The exceeding sign you see out front, is something that was achieved by a wonderful team who were later shooed out by new management, leaving the service run by new faces and a lack of trusting relationships with families. While all services have room for improvement... please listen to these reviews and find a space where you know your child is confident, thriving, and loving their learning journey.

Do not send your child to this centre. The quality of care is deeply concerning, and it is very clear that profit is prioritised over the well-being of the children. Look at the genuine reviews that have come from other families who have had terrible experiences here, and not from educators who have just given them 5 stars to boost their ratings.
