Our 4 year old son has attended St Mary's for the past 9 months in the pre-kindy room. Despite this being his first experience in a childcare setting his transition was smooth due to the fantastic staff. We have found all of the staff to be friendly, caring and nurturing whilst being extremely professional. The daily activities and lesson plans provided by the centre are exciting, fun and interactive. Our son is always excited to tell us about the new experiences he has had that day such as watching the eggs hatch and caring for the chickens. The new outdoor playground is amazing and the mudpit is our sons favorite place to play. The fresh and nutritious meals provided by the centre have also helped with our son try and enjoy new foods. We thank the team at St Mary's for helping our son to become confident and social while learning and having fun.

After recently immigrating from the UK, we started our search to find a day care centre for our two girls.We are so pleased we found St Mary's! They have been wonderful in helping our girls adjust to the changes of moving country as well as attending day care. The director, Angela Mason, is very welcoming, supportive and puts you at ease from the start. Our girls love going to St Mary's and speak fondly of all the lovely ladies who care for them. We are so pleased at how quickly our girls settled at St Mary's and can't thank the ladies enough for helping our little ones feel welcome and part of the St Mary's family. Our eldest daughter starts school next year (2015) and I know she'll be sad to say 'Bye' to St Mary's.But her little sister will still be attending St Mary's for the next couple of years so she'll be chuffed to pop in and say 'Hello' to all the lovely ladies :)

My family has been going to St Mary's since we moved to the area 4 years ago. All 3 of my children have loved attending the centre and the welcoming, nurturing and community spirit makes drop offs a pleasure. My youngest 2 children have dairy allergies and the centre has been extremely accommodating with regards to allergy friendly food...even to the extent of having a 'dairy-free cupcake making day' to ensure my middle child felt included. I think that the clearest sign of a supportive centre, nurturing and compassionate carers and programs which facilitate and accommodate each child’s individuality - is that my children come home with smiles on their faces, speak of the fun they have had and the friendships they have formed with both children and carers.

My family has been with St. Mary's for 5 years now and couldn't be happier. Having worked in the childcare industry myself i found it very difficult to find a centre i was comfortable with but as soon as i walked in and met the staff and had a tour of the centre i new it was the centre for my boys. My youngest has and is having some behavioural difficulties and his teachers and especially the director angela have been nothing but amazing, supportive and so very helpful with him. They are a very caring and family orientated centre. You will not find any better out there.

My children commenced at St Mary's after we decided to transition them from family day care to enhance their social spectrum. Knowing we had made the right decision was instant. The Dirctor, Angela leads a team of nurturing, warm and engaged teachers who show a perfect balance of warmth, kindness, integrity and intellect. What a great start St Mary's is giving our children!

My son commenced care at St Mary's in 2007. My daughter began in 2011 and still attends in Kindy. In the 7 years that my children have attended St Mary's I have been very happy with their care. The Director at St Mary's spends a great deal of time getting a good balance in the rooms with the staff, always putting the children's needs first. In the 7 years that we have been there, there have been a few teachers that have taken maternity leave. The centre does a great job of transitioning new staff into rooms so that the children are happy and comfortable. I have always loved that the staff welcome me with a smile and after 7 years, I am very familiar with the staff as most of them have been there for that time also. They are kind, caring, approachable and honest. My children have formed very strong bonds with their teachers. I honestly believe that their teachers love and adore them, which is a nice feeling when you leave them to go off to work. When people ask me what I like about St Mary's, I tell them that a nurturing environment is the most important part of a childcare centre. When your children are happy and feel loved and supported, then, as a parent, you are also happy. St Mary's has provided this environment for my children.

My son attends St Mary's, in the junior room. When searching for a child care facility in our area, I inspected every facility and St Mary's was the friendliest, cleanest and most professional of all. I immediately joined the wait list. When the time came for our son to begin at St Mary's he had a difficult transition into childcare and St Mary's as a centre supported our family in making the transition as easy as possible. Our son has a speech and language delay and possible further developmental delays, the staff are wonderful in supporting his development and communicating with us about his progress and ways to assist him. The care and compassion they have shown our family has been paramount in his advances. They even went as far as to have his speech pathologist attend the day care for an inservice for the staff and other families to become educated and up to date with best practices. St Mary's provide a nurturing and caring environment for all the children. The staff at St Mary's are all supportive kind and well educated and you only have to walk in the door to see that they form quality relationships with all the children. St Mary's and the wonderful staff are an important part of our family life and our son is thriving after attending their facility.

My son has been at St Mary's for over 2 years and I have been extremely happy with the care he has received from all the educators in all the rooms he has been in. Nothing is ever too much trouble and they always have time to discuss my son and his care with me. There is a lovely, caring family environment as well that comes from the staff that work there. My son has learnt & developed so much since going to St Mary's and looks forward going everyday. He even asks to go on the weekends!

Our experience with St Marys Catholic Child Care has been of a loving, nurturing and a caring environment. It is always nice knowing we are leaving our children with such professional and friendly staff who make us feel like we are the only family in the centre. We were most impressed with the way they adapt their curriculum to each childs individual milestones and developmental needs. We would highly recommend St Marys Catholic Child Care. For us this has been a priceless investment in the emotional, spiritual and educational development of our children.
