I can't recommend Pelican Fairways Daycare enough.<br><br>Our daughter started her orientation on 30 April and officially began attending from 5 May when she was just 17 months old. Like many toddlers, she was very attached to us and could be quite fussy and cranky, so starting daycare was a big step for our family.<br><br>From the very beginning, everyone went above and beyond to help her settle in. A special thank you to Simran and Jagpreet, who have been absolutely amazing with her. They have been so patient, caring and attentive, and it's clear they genuinely love what they do. Seeing the bond they've built with our daughter has made all the difference, and knowing she's in such caring hands gives us so much peace of mind.<br><br>I'd also like to thank Virdah, the Centre Manager, for all her support. She has made every effort to help us throughout this transition, always taking the time to listen, answer our questions and make sure both our daughter and our family felt supported. Her kindness and genuine care haven't gone unnoticed.<br><br>Every educator we've met has been warm, welcoming and caring. It's such a lovely environment, and we've seen our daughter become more comfortable and confident each week.<br><br>Thank you to the entire Pelican Fairways team for making what could have been a difficult transition such a positive experience. We truly appreciate everything you do and feel so grateful to have found such a wonderful daycare. ❤️

I recently went to pick up my nephew from Pelican Childcare Fairways, and I was so impressed that I felt I had to leave a review.<br><br>The first thing I noticed was how seriously the centre takes safety. The sign-in and collection process was well managed, the doors were secure, and the educators were attentive and knew exactly who was collecting each child. It gave me a great sense of confidence knowing the children are so well protected.<br><br>The centre itself was clean, calm, and beautifully presented. The educators were warm, welcoming, and engaged with the children, who all looked happy and settled. It was lovely to see such positive interactions throughout the rooms.<br><br>It’s clear that the management and team take great pride in maintaining high standards of care, safety, and professionalism. From what I observed during such a short visit, I can absolutely understand why families choose this centre. Well done to the entire team for creating such a wonderful environment for children.

My child has been attending this service for over two years and this looks like a second home for my son.<br>everything is absolutely perfect, staff, environment and the connections. Child safety is paramount.<br>Excellent service!

I like to thank the whole team, Teachers at fairways as they are absolutely amazing with my 4 year old boy! Being their my child learns so much and has made friends and they look after all kids the same and I really appreciate it! I trust all teachers especially Ljubicia and Vasa with my child and respect them! I Thankyou so much for teaching my son so much!

My son has been attending Pelican Fairways since he was around 2.5 years old and is now in the Kinder room. I cannot speak more highly of the care he has received throughout his time here or the incredible support from all the educators. We have always felt supported, informed, and confident that he is safe and in the best hands. All the educators — especially Ljubica, Vasa, and Virdah — are exceptional. They are knowledgeable, nurturing, and deeply committed, and I can clearly see how much my son has grown both academically and socially because of their guidance. He absolutely loves his teachers and friends, and he is happy, thriving, and excited to come each day. Thank you to all the staff and the entire team for your care, dedication, and everything you do for the children.

Pelican Fairways Childcare is honestly such a lovely place. From the moment you walk in, there’s a real sense of warmth and care from everyone there. The team genuinely seems passionate about what they do, and it shows in how they interact with the children every day. One thing I really appreciate is the smaller group sizes. It actually works in the centre’s favour because each child gets more attention. The educators really take the time to understand every child’s personality, interests, and needs, which makes a big difference in their development. The learning program is well thought out and play based, but you can clearly see the purpose behind everything they do. Activities are engaging and meaningful, and the environment always feels welcoming, organised, and set up in a way that encourages kids to explore and learn. Ljubica, Simran, and Vasa deserve a special mention, they’re all incredibly dedicated, caring, and professional. You can tell they genuinely enjoy working with the children, and that consistency really helps create a positive atmosphere. Since Virdah stepped into the management role, things have felt very stable and well managed. Taking over during a period of change isn’t easy, but she’s handled it really well. Her calm and supportive approach has clearly helped both the staff and families feel comfortable and confident. Overall, Pelican Fairways isn’t just a childcare centre, it’s a place where kids feel safe, supported, and encouraged to grow. The smaller setting really adds to the quality of care. Definitely recommend it to any family looking for a nurturing environment for their child.

I am posting this review under an anonymous name as my child currently still attends this centre. I feel it is necessary to protect my identity and my child’s safety until we have officially departed. There are severe systemic issues here that every family should be aware of. In the short span of just four months, seven staff members have resigned. I have been informed that these educators left because children had been mistreated within the rooms and nothing was being done about it, and once their resignations were accepted departing staff were told to not tell parents about them moving on and management are sending out false emails of why staff have resigned. The most upsetting thing is that G8 education (pelican fairways) has failed our children, it appears that rather than deal with what has been happening at the centre they would rather hide the incidents. G8 Did nothing about it, leading to a mass departure of great educators whose absence is greatly missed as they could no longer in good conscience work under these conditions. I have also noticed that the number of children at the centre has dropped drastically the centre now appears noticeably empty, which is a clear reflection of the current situation. We are leaving this centre because we no longer feel our child is safe in an environment where those in charge refuse to be transparent or accountable.

Pelican Fairways childcare centre is a hidden gem, and we feel very grateful to have found it. Being a smaller centre, it has a calm, welcoming feel. The environment is not overwhelming and it really feels like a second home. All the educators are genuinely caring, warm, and attentive. They truly understand each child as an individual and they form strong relationships with the families. We've noticed a clear improvement in both of our children's development since they started at Pelican Fairways, especially in confidence, communication, and social skills. It’s been amazing to see how much they’ve grown in such a supportive and nurturing environment. Communication with families is excellent via the childcare communication app (Xplor). We feel well informed about our children's day and we feel included in their learning journey. Our children are happy, settled, and excited to attend each day. We couldn’t ask for a better childcare centre. Pelican Fairways definitely ticks all the right boxes.
