Templestowe has been an amazing centre. Stuff are really caring and take your feedback on bored.

Excellent centre. Very impressed with the way it’s run.

We had a great experience back when the centre was under management by Villa Bambini. With the change in management, we appreciated the new teams (PP) openness to feedback and their willingness to make the transition as seamless as possible. For example, the introduction of date night for busy working parents, A class meals and chicken coup and other pets. These inclusions were great and felt there were steps being made in the right direction. Over time, we also noticed an increase in staff turnover, tensions between staff, management, parents, child incident reports (ours and others), decline in mood from our child and less enrolments. Our little one was unsettled, and we craved stability. A key non-negotiable for myself and my partner as parents. We made the decision to move our child to a different centre in the area and she is flourishing in the new environment, with new friends (more kids!) and staff that have proven their tenure at the one workplace (over 10 years plus). My recommendation (and intention) is not to steer prospective parents away. I am sharing my own experience and observations. I encourage parents to take a PP tour and ask as many questions as possible. Get a good feel of the place. PP is a large well planned out centre with great facilities. As mentioned earlier, we had a great experience when it was VB. My hope is that with some active listening and finessing by PP management, increase in support for staff and willingness to take on feedback (staff and parents), the Centre can make steps towards to brighter days.

We’ve had such a great experience with Paisley Park Templestowe. Toula, the Centre Director, has been so kind and helpful. She's always taking the time to check in, listen to any concerns, and keep us in the loop with our child’s progress and development. It’s been really reassuring knowing they’re in such caring hands. Our little one absolutely loves her educator, Mariya. She comes home happy and settled every day, and it’s clear she feels safe and well looked after. Also, the food! Chef Lisa makes amazing, nutritious meals and we really appreciate the focus on healthy eating and variety. Huge thanks to the whole team at Paisley Park Templestowe. We’re so grateful for the warm and supportive environment you’ve created.

Paisley Park is a great child care centre. They show care for the students eduction. My wife and I attended a seminar there, where local primary schools came and you have the opportunity to chat to them and get as much information as you can so your child can be ready for the next step in their eduction life. Also Paisley Park has also made the effort to bring fun and structure. My child struggled at drop off with the previous owners but now no tears because she has structure and stability. Also the animals they introduced in there child care centre has played a massive part. Now my child does not want to leave on pick up. Want to give a big shout out to everyone in the team at Paisley Park and say thank you. Big thank you to Toula as well, she is a legend. Will definitely be sending my next child here.

My daughter really enjoys going to Paisley Park – Templestowe. Toula, the Centre Director, keeps us well-informed with regular weekly updates and is always supportive. The team of educators creates a warm, positive, and welcoming environment. Bella and Mariya, in particular, have been incredibly caring and nurturing with my daughter. The range of activities and the class structure are fantastic, providing excellent preparation for school. My daughter comes home very excited telling us the activities she’s done for the day e.g sports incursions, science experiments or learning about math. A truly wonderful place for children to learn, grow, and thrive!

My daughter absolutely loves her time at Paisley Park – it’s truly her happy place! The environment is structured, clean and inviting, with a proper routine that gives her a sense of security and enjoyment. The educators are incredibly warm and welcoming, which made a big difference to us from day one. I was a little concerned when there was a change in management, but I’m pleased to say the transition was smooth and well-handled and it hasn’t affected the quality of care at all. One of the recent highlights has been the addition of a pet bunny, some chickens and birds. This has been a fantastic and thoughtful way to enrich the children’s experience and create a little ‘family’ vibe in the centre. My daughter genuinely looks forward to going to Paisley Park each week, which speaks volumes. They also run some wonderful initiatives for parents, which shows how much they care about supporting the whole family, not just the children. I highly recommend checking out their website to learn more – we’ve had such a positive experience and couldn’t be happier.

Our daughter goes to villa bambini and she is very happy there and making friends. They have ample parking, they are always well staffed, and the meals are generous. The centre director is approachable and will listen to any concerns you may have. The teachers are excellent and very friendly, not agency educator thatcomes and go. The curriculum is excelent and our daughter is learning heaps. We would recommend this center to anyone in the area. We have been to other centres before and this one is a perfect match for us and we are very happy to have our daughter in a good place finally.
