Simply the best. A great team of educators who nurture and care for all the kids. Love how they ensure everyone is engaged and is special. My son is really blossoming at Leaps and Bounds. He’s happy, more confident and learning everyday. 100% recommend.

Gorgeous preschool in heart of Manly. The staff are warm, welcoming and amazing with the kids. They’re always playing outdoors and doing fun activities. As a parent, I always feel confident at drop off and pick up that my child is going to have a great day and be completely cared for and looked after.

We love Leaps and Bounds! We moved our daughter from a larger centre in the area that she really struggled with, and the whole family was instantly so much happier! The educators are all so lovely and kind, and I feel like they really know and care for my daughter. It is such a lovely environment. Every day when I drop my daughter off, someone comes and helps us with the transition, and at every pickup, they come and tell me about the wonderful things she did that day! It is so reassuring as a parent, and I would 100% recommend the centre to anyone. I only wish they took younger babies so that both my kids could attend at once :)

I couldn’t speak more highly of Leaps and Bounds. We moved our daughter from a larger provider where there was little consistency, and we are so pleased we made the change—she is so much happier for it. Leaps and Bounds truly feels like a family. Every educator (even those in preschool room) knows her by name and greets her warmly each morning. Beautiful Miss Jess, Miss Lilly, Miss Chloe, Miss Trin, and Miss Jessica all clearly adore her for who she is, and you can tell she genuinely looks forward to seeing them each day. The service is calm, nurturing, and never chaotic. The educators feel more like family friends, and the environment has such a lovely, homely feel. Alison and Hayley do a wonderful job leading the service and the educational program. They know each family personally and always take the time to check in and say hello. Nothing is ever too much trouble, and I never feel worried about leaving my daughter in their care. Even on her days off, she asks if she can go and see her friends at “school”! We honestly can’t recommend Leaps and Bounds enough—we’re so grateful we found it. It's a gem of a service and it's bringing out the very best in our daughter. A huge thank you to the whole team, we really appreciate you.

Amazing centre, with a fabulous director, lovely educators and supportive families - truly one of the best on the beaches!

We've been at Leaps & Bounds for 3 years and our son is going to miss it very much once he goes to school next year. He's made so many wonderful friends there, he loves the educators, and he always has something interesting to tell us about his day. The centre is in a nice quiet location with a great educational program and different types of activities. The long hours along with the in-house catering are fantastic! Our second bub will definitely be going to this preschool too.

My daughter went to Leaps and Bounds years ago and now my son goes there. We have had the best experience with my son. The educators have been consistent and so amazing with him. The centre is really a small house with just two classes, one for the younger kids and one for the bigger ones. The playground is lovely and constantly changing to facilitate new activities and games. Our son left another centre where he wasn’t always happy or well, and has adjusted so well here.

This is a great small community preschool where everyone knows and cares about each other. The educators are fantastic, always going above and beyond to provide a safe, nurturing, stimulating and fun experience for the kids. Both of my kids love going there, know all the other kids there and are always boasting about the activities or experiments they did that day. Communication with all the educators is fantastic, they are all always available for a chat and extremely helpful and experienced with separation anxiety and just generally managing upset children. I sent my son here two years ago after being at a bigger centre and the change in him has been wonderful, he is so much more confident and happy here. So of course when it came time for my daughter to go to preschool there was no question that I'd send her here too and she has been thriving as well. A lovely centre with wonderful educators.

My child has been going here for three years and the educators have been so patient and caring. Nice outdoor and indoor spaces too.

Leaps and Bounds has been the perfect preschool to get our kids ready for school in a fun and caring environment. We will be sad when our daughter leaves to go to big school!
