My grandson has recently moved from a different childcare centre in doreen and over the last month in comparison to his old care, I can see a huge positive change in him. He is so happy to go to the centre and daily we see beautiful photos of what his teachers are doing with him. I have never seen him so happy and in such a short time he is already so comfortable with the staff and children. I would highly recommend this centre to anyone who is looking for quality care and friendly compassionate staff.

I recently visited Children First Mernda and was very disappointed with what I witnessed. Several staff members were speaking in a different language while interacting with each other, which made the environment feel unprofessional and disconnected — especially when children were present and looking for attention. What concerned me most was the way some staff spoke to the children. Their tone came across as rude and dismissive, and it didn’t feel warm, patient, or supportive at all. As a parent, I expect educators to communicate with kindness and respect, and unfortunately that was not what I observed here. Based on my experience, I left feeling uncomfortable and would not trust this centre with my child’s care. I can’t recommend Children First Mernda.

My visit to Children First Mernda was extremely disappointing, especially when it came to hygiene. The rooms were visibly unclean — floors looked dirty, toys were scattered and not sanitised, and several areas had an unpleasant smell. It didn’t feel like regular cleaning or proper hygiene practices were being taken seriously at all. For a childcare centre, maintaining a clean and safe environment should be a basic priority, but what I saw was far from acceptable. The overall standard of cleanliness made me very uncomfortable and raised major concerns about the health and safety of the children. I left the tour feeling completely put off and would not consider enrolling my child here. I can’t recommend this centre based on the unhygienic conditions alone.
