Absolutely adore Ascolta Duncraig. The staff are incredibly caring and go above and beyond to ensure each child has an exceptional experience. The level of communication, staff retention, cleanliness and overall positivity makes me eternally grateful I found Ascolta Duncraig for my child.

We have been coming to Ascolta Duncraig for 2 years now and such a lovely team of professionals at this centre.<br><br>Always greeted with a large smile every morning from Kayleigh. Our son loves coming here and always leaves with a big smile at the end of the day.<br><br>Can also confirm we have never had an issue with our child having too much sun or being out doors too long.

I just wanted to share how grateful I am for the beautiful care my daughter receives at this daycare. Her happiness is so clear the way she smiles, relaxes, and connects with the educators shows how safe, loved, and understood she feels. The team is incredibly gentle, patient, and genuinely invested in her wellbeing. It means so much knowing she is surrounded by kindness, encouragement, and people who truly see her. Thank you for creating such a nurturing space where she can grow and thrive.

We would definitely recommend this daycare. The care and effort from the team at all stages and in all aspects is outstanding

My son attended Ascolta Duncraig after us moving over from the UK and trying a different centre in the area.<br>He instantly settled in with help from the brilliant staff and other kids. My son has now left ascolta for pre primary and still speaks about the staff.<br>With another baby on the way we are confident that she will be in the best hands. Highly recommended

Our daughter has loved her time at Ascolta Duncraig. The staff are lovely and she is always so excited to go!

We recently moved our daughter to this centre, and she has settled in so well. The educators are caring, know her well, and make her feel safe and supported.<br><br>She always has a great day, enjoys the fun activities, and comes home happy. We highly recommend this daycare!

Our son has been attending ascolta for almost a year now, he absolutely loves it and we love sending him! I can’t thank the educators enough for how much love they show our little man every day, we’re very lucky to be a part of the community.

I would not recommend this daycare centre. The children are left outside for extended periods, often throughout the day. My son experienced sunstroke, and I had to visit a GP to obtain a medical note requesting that his time in the sun be limited. Despite this, the centre continued to keep the children outside during the hottest parts of the day. When I raised my concerns, the area manager dismissed them, stating there was an ‘open door policy’ where children could choose to be inside or outside. However, young children will almost always choose outdoor play. Especially when there are no engaging activities set up indoors to encourage them inside. Each time I arrived, all children were outside, often with the door shut, removing any real choice. The indoor learning spaces, although well presented, were not being utilised, and materials were not set up. It felt more like supervision in a courtyard rather than a stimulating learning environment. As a result, my child was not engaged or stimulated. I would choose a Montessori setting over this any day. While the centre claims to follow Montessori and Reggio Emilia philosophies, in my experience, these approaches were not being meaningfully implemented.
