I am writing this review to alert students, especially international students, to be very careful before choosing First Step Moorebank for placement. I completed 6 weeks of placement at this centre. Throughout most of the placement, the staff treated me well and there were no major issues. However, on the second last day, the Centre ECT suddenly gave me very unfair and negative feedback, without proper discussion, guidance, or prior warning. There was poor communication with students, no chance to improve or explain, and the feedback was given at the last minute, which can seriously affect a student’s future. For international students, this kind of grading can be extremely stressful and damaging, as our visas, studies, and careers depend on placement outcomes. I put in genuine effort, dedication, and hard work, yet the way the situation was handled made the entire experience mentally exhausting and upsetting. I strongly do not recommend this centre for students who dream of becoming an ECT. Please do not waste your time, energy, and emotional well-being here. Excelsia students please be very careful before choosing this centre for placement.

I honestly can’t say enough good things about First Steps Moorebank, especially Tamara and Bella.<br>Tamara is genuinely the best thing to happen to this centre. She is the kind of manager every parent hopes to have. I know my daughter is safe, happy and genuinely well looked after, and that peace of mind is priceless.<br>Both Tamara and Bella actually listen to parents. When you raise something, they take it seriously, follow it up and act on it. They make parents feel valued, heard and confident that their children are in the best hands.<br>There have also been some fantastic new additions recently. Stephanie, the new chef, is absolutely lovely! The kids took a liking to her straight away from what i observed, and it’s wonderful seeing her interact with both the children and parents. The food is fresh and cooked from scratch, which is such a great addition to the centre.<br>Tamara really knows how to run a centre. She is the glue that holds everything together, and she has built such a wonderful team around her.<br>Honestly, if Tamara ever left while my daughter was still attending, we’d probably be following her! 😂<br>Couldn’t recommend First Steps highly enough. It’s so reassuring knowing your child is cared for by people who genuinely care. ❤️

My son has been attending First Steps Learning Academy since it first opened, and I can confidently say it was the best decision I’ve ever made. This is so much more than just a childcare center, and your child is far from just a number here. The educators are incredibly helpful, friendly, and genuinely caring. They go out of their way not just to assist but to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere every single day, even with something as simple as a cheerful greeting each morning. Mrs Jenny is a absolute angel and I owe so much of my sons happiness to her. The academic journey my son has experienced here has been nothing short of transformative. His growth, both socially and academically, has exceeded my expectations, and I attribute much of that success to the dedication of the amazing staff. A special shout-out is deserved for the true gems of this center, Tamara and Bella. Their commitment and passion truly hold this place together. The effort and care they put in daily never go unnoticed and are deeply appreciated. To Tamara, Bella, and the entire team – thank you! You are all amazing, and we’re so grateful for everything you do.

This is a brand new centre that showed a lot of promise initially (opened in October 2023) but had some concerns regarding their staff retention in the nursery room along with some questionable management practices. They provide all the food and nappies which is a huge plus but I ended up moving my child out of this centre in June 2024. Understand that staff are still relatively new, so I've heard mixed reviews about this place and experienced a few negative ones personally.
