We can’t say enough wonderful things about Amber! Our son spent 18 months under her care up until last year, and the experience was nothing short of extraordinary. From the very beginning, it was clear that Amber is a remarkable educator who genuinely cares about each child’s growth and happiness. The love and nurturing she provides are amazing. Amber has an incredible ability to connect with the kids, making each of them feel valued and cherished. Her warm and encouraging approach helped our son develop confidence and curiosity in a supportive environment. It was a joy to see how much he thrived under her guidance. Her talent doesn’t stop at just teaching; Amber is also a culinary wizard! The meals she prepares are not only delicious but also incredibly nutritious. Our son always looked forward to mealtimes, and we could see the positive impact of her balanced and creative menus on his energy and health. It’s a relief to know that he was getting wholesome, tasty meals that he genuinely enjoyed. Moreover, the learning experiences Amber creates are both engaging and educational. Our son learned so much during his time with her, from early literacy and numeracy to social skills and creativity. It’s clear that she puts a great deal of thought and care into designing activities that are both fun and educational. Most importantly, our son absolutely loved his time at Amber’s day care. Every day he came home with stories about his adventures and new things he had learned. The joy in his voice and the excitement in his eyes when he spoke about his day were proof of how much he enjoyed and valued his time there. If you’re looking for a day care educator who is truly exceptional, loving, and dedicated, we wholeheartedly recommend Amber. She has made a lasting impact on our son’s life, and we are immensely grateful for everything she has done. Thank you, Amber, for your incredible care and for making our son’s early learning journey so wonderful!

Our daughter always ran in with a smile and was always excited for her days at care. We are so grateful to Amber and the children for the love and friendships she shared over the years. It was so hard to say goodbye when we left but we know the next child taking the spot will have just as much fun and learn just as much as our daughter did before them.

My son has loved his time with Amber and his friends and will miss them when we move. He always comes home happy, well fed and full of stories about his day. He has grown so much and learned so much in his time at day care and we are so grateful for the positive and nurturing start that we have all experienced in his first years of learning at Mudpies and Dragonflies.

Amber cared for my daughter between the ages of 6 months until just recently at 3.5yrs when we moved up the coast. She has been a huge part of her life and it was difficult to say goodbye. My daughter has grown and learnt so much in her care, and was always happy and ran through the door each day eager to join in the days program. Not once did my daughter not want to go, most days asking if she was going to Amber's house. The children enjoy lots of outdoor play, fun activities and loads of love. We will be staying in touch with Amber and all our friends from Mudpies and Dragonflies as they have all become a part of our family.

Amber cared for my child for two years before we moved interstate. We loved our time at Mudpies and Dragonflies and my daughter still asks to go to Amber’s kindy, she misses Miss Amber and the friends she made during her years there. With no local family Amber was a vital part of the community we built in Brisbane, on many occasions she provided me with support and guidance and was always happy to answer my many questions. The food offered to the children everyday was amazing and my daughter was able to help prepare the food as she got older. The menu certainly had me requesting to stay for the day on more than the odd occasion! Thankfully the recipes shared mean we can now make our favourites at home as a family. Overall, our family happily stands behind the service that we were lucky enough to experience through Amber at Mudpies and Dragonflies. The love and care shown to our family but especially our daughter made the transition into childcare easy and we will forever treasure our time as part of the Mudpies and Dragonflies family.
