Such an amazing experience at this centre! My child has always struggled settling into a daycare prior to this one, but once starting at Sustainable Preschool her transition has been so pleasant for her! All staff/educators are all so kind, friendly & welcoming. As a first time mum I could not be more pleased with this centre. Their efforts go above & beyond to meet all the children’s needs. Thank you Sustainable Preschool & all your beautiful staff ❤️

Sending your child to preschool is a big deal and as a parent you worry things aren’t as good as they seem, at Sustainable Play there is no worry at all. My child, from day 1 here, amidst major upheaval in our lives, has just thrived here and felt so comfortable. The educators are gentle with the kids, put the kids needs above all, and just generally make this preschool the magical, special place that it is. It is just the most beautiful, caring & nurturing centre and I am so very thankful that my child has the opportunity to attend.

Just a big shout out to the educators at sustainable play Des Tammy lily All three educators have been beyond our wildest expectations with our daughter. After her and I being together for the last 2 years I was a little nervous about putting her in daycare but they have been beyond accommodating with her care from her being shy at the beginning and a little fussy with the food they have all worked around her always ensuring she feels the same warmth and love that she gets at home this has helped our daughter transition beautifully she now loves going to daycare and will often tell me upon pickup about her day How she played with Tammy in the sandpit or sang songs with des or played with lily She will then tell me all the things she's looking forward to doing next time she's at daycare and they always involve her 3 favourite educators She's has blossomed at sustainable play and it is all thanks to these 3 for making her feel so comfortable and so well looked after her father and I love seeing the updates and we really appreciate the extra mile the educators have gone for our daughter Good educators are a gem in themselves and we are so thankful to all 3.
