We joined Sagewood this year and we just love it. The staff are so warm and welcoming, the centre is bright and clean, and playground is the best ive seen. My favourite thing is seeing the activities that my child gets to do and how much she is learning whilst having fun. Highly recommend!!

We have had such a wonderful experience at Sagewood Success over the years with both of our children, and we couldn’t recommend them more highly. One of our children still attends, and it truly feels like a second home for our family. The educators are so caring, supportive and encouraging, always making the children feel safe, valued and confident to learn and grow. They go above and beyond to build genuine relationships not only with the children, but with parents too.

I’m grateful to have found such a nurturing and caring daycare for my son. It truly shows in so many ways. He had a hard time adjusting to his first daycare, but since starting at Sagewood, all my worries have disappeared. The transition period went really well. Seeing him happy and confidently going to his educators reassures me that we made the right choice.

***Important note for families*** I would probably reconsider enrolling in this centre, and if you are currently enrolled, I strongly suggest you pay close attention to your CAS statements and all of their policies. I used to love this centre when Mel, Rachel and Tammy were there. Since the new manager commenced, the centre’s management has been poorly handled in my experience, creating unnecessary difficulty in resolving issues. After I was unable to resolve the issues with the manager, the owner took over handling the matter. However, the situation deteriorated further rather than being resolved. They have not acknowledged mistakes or offered an apology, which has caused significant stress and frustration. This experience, particularly trying to recover funds that are rightfully my account credit, has been extremely difficult. Chronological summary of issues 1. October 2025 – Submitted a re-enrolment form with an end date of 30 January 2026. 2. January 27, 2026 – Noticed my child still had bookings on my CAS statement. The centre enforced a two-week notice period, keeping her enrolled on their side, but did not process the re-enrolment form as submitted. 3. January 26, 2026 (public holiday) – The centre was closed, but they charged full fees even though my child did not attend. According to CCS rules, subsidy does not apply for non-attendance on the child’s last day, so this charge was inappropriate. 4. February 2026 – I disputed the February bookings and instructed the centre not to authorise payment while the dispute was ongoing. 5. February 20, 2026 – Despite my instructions, the centre debited the funds from my account, which I had to recover through my bank under BECS rules. 6. February 23, 2026 – My statement shows an account credit of $181.66, but the owner has confirmed there is no refund due meaning they have absorbed my account credit without my authorisation to cover a full-fee public holiday when my child could not attend. 7. System and communication issues – The centre communicated a two-week notice period on 27 January but backdated it to start on 26 January. They debited my account for February bookings despite my dispute and instructions not to charge, and only afterward debiting my funds confirmed my child’s enrolment finish date was 30 January and advised my account was up to date and no credits owed. This mismanagement made it very difficult to track fees accurately. I will not be returning to this centre. EDIT FOR REPLY: Thank you for your response. To clarify the issues: 1. Re-enrolment – I submitted a form in Oct 2025 with an end date of 30 Jan 2026. My son’s was processed correctly; my daughter’s wasn’t. The centre ignored this and applied a two-week notice instead. 2. Fees – Full fees were charged for the public holiday 26/01/26 (credit absorbed) and a booking on 2 Feb 26, which I had to recover through my bank. 3. Conflicting statements – I received three statements all claiming the account is up to date, contradicting records and MyGov evidence. 4. Communication – I was told that assistance would only be provided if my public review was removed. This added significant stress during an already difficult process. 5. Positive – I genuinely loved this centre at one point, and my kids had special bonds with some carers who have since left. I hope this clarifies the full scope of the issues and helps other families understand the experience.

I would highly recommend Sagewood Early Learning Centre to any family that are looking for a professional, nurturing and caring daycare. My daughter attends this daycare and we have been very impressed with the care offered by all of the staff at sagewood!

We feel incredibly grateful to have been part of the Sagewood village. The educators have consistently gone above and beyond for our daughter and our family. Sending her each day knowing she is safe, deeply loved, and genuinely supported by each educator has been so comforting. The care at Sagewood goes far beyond the basics. The educators nurture each child, support their individual needs, and create an environment where children feel secure, valued, and encouraged to grow. The centre itself always reflects this care. We were always greeted with a friendly smile at the desk, and the centre is consistently clean, organised, and beautifully maintained. There is a calm, welcoming feeling the moment you walk through the doors. We will forever be grateful for the love, patience, and dedication shown to our daughter. Sagewood has played such a meaningful role in her early years, and it will always hold a very special place in our hearts. We cannot recommend Sagewood highly enough.

Great team that has been caring for my child since he was a baby. The amazing people there have helped grow my child into a little human being and prepare him for school. Special mention to these lovely ladies who are amazing educators: Zoe, Shaylah, Danielle, TK & Monet. Thank you for everything you do!

We couldn’t be happier with Sagewood! The educators are caring and are genuinely invested in the children’s wellbeing.The communication is excellent, the environment is warm and welcoming, and we feel completely at ease knowing our child is so well cared for. Highly recommend Sagewood success.

Great daycare! Excellent activities, food that looks amazing and nutritious, and educators really care about the kids. Have loved our experience at Sagewood so far!
