It was once a very warm and welcoming center, but since the change in management, it has unfortunately transformed into the complete opposite. – The government rating has declined, which is truly regrettable. – The reception desk is frequently unattended, and when someone is present, it is often an unfriendly man who does not offer any greeting. – The management office, which used to remain open and accessible for casual conversations with the manager, is now either empty or closed off with the door and blinds shut. – The current management speaks only in abstract terms such as “transparency,” “change,” and “challenge,” yet they are unable to provide clear or concrete answers when asked. – The previous management team was highly professional, remembered the names of all parents and children, and consistently greeted us with warm smiles. Their hospitality was genuine and heartfelt. – There has been a significant turnover of staff, causing considerable confusion for both children and parents. The bonds between children and their teachers were abruptly severed, and we were not even given the opportunity to say goodbye. – Messages that were inconvenient for management were deleted. – Open discussions among parents were shut down under the pretext of “legal complications,” which I perceived as a form of intimidation from management. – Management closed the comment section on Story Park, appearing to focus solely on protecting themselves. – Rather than working to improve the center, they have chosen to close comment sections, restrict discussions, and concentrate primarily on reviews. For these reasons, I withdrew my child from Evoke, and I cannot recommend this center to anyone. I can confidently state that it is a place to avoid.

There's been a noticeably decline in the quality of management over the past 4-5 months. A lot of deflection and even straight lies. Even had admin try to gaslight me. In a matter of 3 months many have left which has only caused distress to the children with the sudden change, although turnover is relatively high in childcare I've never seen a place become entirely new in a such a short time. Charles turned off comments within the app so people can no longer discuss things with the educators and has even told the educators that they're not allowed to discuss issues with the parents in person. It's a shame to leave a poor review with how hard the educators who have managed to even stay are pushing through the evident mismanagement. All in all the heavy push to "protect the reputation" of the centre has done nothing but damage it to a point where I and many other parents have withdrawn their children.

This centre used to be absolutely amazing with exceptional educators, a real sense of community, and a place where my child was genuinely happy. Sadly, over the past few months it’s gone completely downhill. Many of the wonderful long-term staff have left at an alarming rate, communication has dropped off, and the warm, nurturing environment that once made the centre special has disappeared. What’s even more concerning is how parent feedback has been handled. Many families were voicing their concerns on Storypark, yet rather than addressing them, management simply turned off the comments to silence discussion. It feels like parents have been shut out instead of listened to. There are also serious security concerns. one morning recently, the security code doors were left wide open and unattended with no staff at reception (which had been a common complaint) anyone could have walked in behind a parent unnoticed. It’s heartbreaking to see such a great centre lose its way. We’ve now made the difficult decision to leave, as we no longer feel confident in the care, safety, or leadership of the centre.
