Honestly, we couldn’t be happier with Little Zak’s Academy Ryde. The team is absolutely wonderful, and from day one we’ve felt so comfortable leaving our baby in their care. It truly feels like he is one of their own — the carers are so warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in him. They get just as excited as we do to see him grow, progress, and reach new developmental milestones, which means so much to us as parents. We can clearly see how happy and settled he is at the centre, and that speaks volumes. The carers give each child such thoughtful, individual attention, and it creates such a nurturing environment. We’re honestly so grateful to have found Little Zak’s Ryde — highly recommend to any parents looking for a caring, supportive, and engaging daycare.

Wonderful, caring, attentive educators. Excellent facilities and curriculum. Our 3 year old has such a wonderful time there and learns so much with a variety of interesting activities!

Our 1-year-old twins attend Little Zack Academy in Ryde, and we’ve had a great experience. The staff are caring and attentive, and the centre is always clean and well-organised. Our babies settled in so well—they’ve never cried at drop-off, which says a lot about how comfortable they feel there. We’re really happy with the care and would recommend it to other parents.

I’ve had a really positive experience with Little Zak’s Childcare. The staff are very kind, patient, and genuinely caring. Their approach is modern and supportive, and they don’t use outdated methods like “time-out”. Instead, they focus on helping children understand their emotions and develop strong social skills. My son has benefited a lot from their program, including sports activities like football, swimming, and strong support in early literacy and numeracy. They also have farm animals such as chickens and roosters on site, and the children get hands-on experiences like feeding the animals and collecting eggs, which is wonderful for their learning and development. The food and meals provided are also very tasty. Even though my son is usually a picky eater, he enjoys most of the meals and eats them happily. I also really appreciate that they involve children in cooking activities from an early age and teach them that cooking is not related to gender roles, which is very important to me. The centre manager is very flexible and understanding, always taking families’ circumstances into consideration. Most importantly, my son wakes up every morning excited and genuinely happy to go to childcare and that means everything to me.

Truly grateful for everything the educators have done for both my kids. Great centre with even better educators.

Very happy with our experience and the kids are learning lots everyday. The centre director (Mel) works very hard to make this happen and her senior teachers are great with our kids.

Miss Mel and all the educators at Little Zak’s Ryde have been doing a wonderful job caring for and nurturing my child over the past four years. I truly appreciate everything you do — thank you!
