The team at Nido Iluka have been absolutely exceptional since we first placed our 6month old son there in 2023. He is now 4, and our 1 year old daughter is there too and I honestly cannot speak more highly of the care, support, and friendliness of the educators.<br><br>The educators Nat, Bella, Jade and Anupa as well as so many others are fantastic with my son; from navigating emotions, encouraging creativity and respecting family values, to being my son’s favourite friendly faces each day.<br><br>The educators in the nursery have been incredible with managing our 1 year old’s sleep (or sleep regressions) sicknesses, social development and motor skills. Their attention to little details of her learning journey reassures us constantly that she is in such safe and caring hands. Jaimi, Klaudia and Brenda have been amazing and our daughter lights up whenever she sees them.<br><br>Denise, Nicki and Sarah are instrumental in managing not only a wonderful team of educators but also creating such a kind, caring and supportive environment to assist not only the children but our family as well. Thank you so much to everyone for all your help over the last few years!

Our little one has been with Nido Iluka for close to two years. The educators and staff at the facility is exceptional. We have always felt like our son's needs were met and lots of care was taken to give him the best experience possible. There has always been very clear and prompt communications from the educators and staff which make us feel at ease knowing he is in very capable hands.<br><br>Not only are the educators great at working with the children, in our experience they take the time to make every child feel special and cared for individually.<br><br>Every Educator and Class Lead have been amazing - no faults can be found.<br><br>Special mentions<br><br>Katie, Caiomhe and Jennifer - a big thanks for the care you have given our boy. What a pleasure seeing him run up and hug you in the mornings. He is always happy for me to head off when you are there.<br><br>Vera and Niki - you too have played a big part in his life. Although he sees you less now, he still gravitates towards your kind and gentle nature.<br><br>Ash and Kiara - You know you make a big impression in a little life when they come home telling all sorts of stories with a smile on their face.<br><br>Thanks to the whole team at Nido Iluka - you have a very important job which you do impeccably well.

We are so happy with Nido Iluka! 😊<br><br>Our son has been attending since he was just 4 months old, as we don’t have any immediate family nearby. Naturally, we were quite nervous at first about leaving him, but from the very beginning it was obvious how happy and settled he was. The staff are incredibly warm, caring and friendly, which made the transition so much easier for us.<br><br>We would especially like to mention Klaudia, Jaimi and Brenda, who have been absolutely wonderful with our son. He absolutely loves Klaudia in particular! His face genuinely lights up whenever he sees her, and it is so lovely to see the bond they have built. She is so warm, caring and attentive, and we can see how much he adores her. It gives us such peace of mind knowing he has someone he feels so comfortable and happy with. He also gets so excited to see Jaimi and Brenda, and his face lights up whenever he sees them too. We are incredibly grateful for the love, care and attention they all give him every day.<br><br>Now that we have both returned to work, we have complete trust and confidence that our son is in the best hands. The educators always organise fun, engaging and educational activities, and he is genuinely so happy to be dropped off each day — which means so much to us as parents.<br><br>Denise, the Executive Service Manager, is also so lovely, warm and welcoming. Sarah and Nicola greet us each day with such warm and friendly vibes, which creates such a lovely atmosphere as soon as we walk through the doors.<br><br>We couldn’t be happier with Nido Iluka. It really feels like our son is cared for by people who genuinely know him, care about him and want the best for him. We feel so lucky to have found such a wonderful daycare and would highly recommend Nido Iluka to any family. ❤️<br><br>G + T

We have been so grateful for the care our family has received from Nido Iluka. Both of our children have attended/currently attending and it has been so special knowing that every educator knew them personally and understood who they are and what interested them.<br><br>My youngest has additional needs as he is profoundly deaf and uses devices to access sound. The willingness of every member of staff to learn, support and take on advice from other professionals or myself has been outstanding.<br><br>I could not name one educator in this centre who does not deserve the highest of praise, but special mention goes to Ash, who always goes out of her way to communicate how my kids (both) days have been. All our early morning staff who make drop off a breeze, serving breakfast and giving morning hugs can never be underated. All the room leaders for my deaf bubba especially Jamie, Katie and Alison, having a quick learning curve and adapting as best they can.<br><br>The genuine relationships the educators build with children and families are what make this centre so special.

Fantastic daycare centre and service! Our family have been with Nido Iluka since it opened its doors. We have had a wonderful experience with caring, kind and thoughtful carers as well as a very reliable management team. Thank you all!

We have been at Nido Iluka since it opened and have always been very happy, but the current Director, Denise, has been the best by far.<br><br>Denise knows every child by name and leads the centre with a firm but fair approach, which makes me feel 100% safe leaving my children in her care. The centre is beautiful, with such intentional play set-ups, and it’s clear how much thought and care goes into the planning.<br><br>The communication is what really stands out. We are always well informed and know exactly how our child’s day has been. You can genuinely see how much the educators care.<br><br>A special shout-out to Bella, who my child talks about non-stop! She is always there with a smile and knows my child so well. She is an absolute credit to the centre.<br><br>We couldn’t be happier with the care our children receive at Nido Iluka.

We cannot recommend Nido Iluka highly enough. Our son started there at 14 months old, and our daughter joined at 12 months old. From day one, Denise and her team gave us complete confidence that our children were in the very best hands. Their care, warmth, and professionalism made us feel comfortable and reassured every single day.<br><br>Our daughter has anaphylaxis, and the support we received from Denise was nothing short of incredible. She went above and beyond to ensure our daughter was safe, including adapting the menu to accommodate her allergies. Knowing that our daughter was in such a caring and well-prepared environment gave us enormous peace of mind, and we are so grateful for everything the team did to support our family.<br><br>Our son had the opportunity to progress through every room, from the toddler room right through to the final class before kindy, and he absolutely thrived. Unfortunately, our daughter only made it to the toddler room before we moved to another suburb. The daily commute to Iluka became too difficult, so we had to make the hard decision to leave.<br><br>If we hadn't moved away, there is no doubt we would have kept our daughter at Nido Iluka with Denise and her wonderful team. We are incredibly thankful for the love, care, and dedication they showed both of our children, and we would wholeheartedly recommend Nido Iluka to any family looking for exceptional childcare.

My daughter has just started pre-kindy at school, and I truly believe Nido Iluka played a huge role in preparing her for the classroom. They gave her the confidence and encouragement to become more independent and comfortable being away from me.<br><br>The staff always listened to any concerns or requests I had and kept me updated throughout the day, which allowed me to go to work feeling happy and reassured that my daughter was settled and enjoying herself.<br><br>The centre is beautiful, clean, and welcoming, but what really makes Nido Iluka special is its amazing staff. They made our very first daycare experience such a positive one, and I will always be grateful for the care and support they showed our family.

Our son loved attending Nido Iluka. He gained confidence, made friends and the staff where always warm and welcoming.
