Olive's Place is fantastic. from day one my granddaughter has been welcomed and engaged. the staff are second to none. Dedicated, professional and so friendly. I cannot praise them and recommend them enough. 5 stars

The educators at olives places are truly amazing, they all look so happy and they nurture the children. The director Michelle has created a family place, she makes everyone feel welcome and special. I love the activities they organised, everything is very thoughtful and unique. The center is very clean.<br>I highly recommend.

I was incredibly nervous about sending my daughter to daycare, but from the moment we toured Olive’s, I knew we’d found somewhere special. It was a no-brainer. It didn’t feel like a daycare centre, it felt like a home.<br><br>The environment is so warm, welcoming and nurturing, but what really sets Olive’s apart is the educators. They take the time to genuinely get to know each child as an individual. I feel like every educator knows my daughter, not just her name or her routine, but her little personality, her quirks, her interests and all the things that make her her. As a parent, that means absolutely everything.<br><br>The thought and creativity that go into the activities are incredible. I love receiving daily updates seeing not just what she’s been doing, but how she’s engaged with each experience.<br><br>One of my favourite things is how they embrace each child’s individual interests. My daughter went through a huge dinosaur obsession, and rather than just acknowledging it, the educators completely leaned into it! They made sure dinosaurs were available for her to play with and incorporated them into thoughtful, engaging activities. It’s those little things that show just how much they genuinely care.<br><br>They also have a beautiful initiative called Magic Moments, where each child gets a special day dedicated to celebrating the things that make them unique. I think that perfectly sums up the philosophy at Olive’s. Every child is seen, valued and celebrated for exactly who they are.<br><br>What started as one of my biggest anxieties as a parent has become something I feel so grateful for. Knowing my daughter is somewhere she feels safe, loved, understood and encouraged to be herself is priceless.<br><br>I genuinely couldn’t recommend Olive’s more highly. ❤️

This is no average childcare and kindy. It is warm, you feel at home here, there is no chaos or being lost in the crowd. We wanted somewhere our girls would be held, a place that had time and patience for our girls and make them feel safe and at home and this is everything olives place is.<br>I toured many Gold Coast centres and there is nothing that comes close.<br>Michelle has done such an incredible job putting such a beautiful, loving space together for kids to learn and grow in such a safe and loving place.<br><br>You can just tell each kid is loved and cared for as her own. All the staff are the same, our girls adore them.

We couldn’t ask for a better daycare for our children. Every educator knows every child’s name and takes the time to really know them, their personalities and what they need. The care, service, communication and education are all next level.<br><br>Michelle is such a big part of what makes Olive’s Place so special. She is incredibly kind, warm and welcoming, knows everyone and somehow thinks of everything. You can feel how much she cares about the children and their families, and that care carries through her whole team.<br><br>I feel completely safe and comfortable dropping my kids off, knowing they are understood, supported and so well cared for. That peace of mind means everything as a parent. We’re so grateful to have found this centre and couldn’t recommend it more highly.

Miss Michelle, Miss Ella, Miss Ava and the team are fantastic, loving and caring educators who genuinely go above and beyond for all the children. Every staff member at Olive’s Place are lovely, attentive and contribute to a nurturing environment. We have gone from our daughter dreading having to go to daycare elsewhere to loving every moment at Olive’s Place!

Our child has been attending Olive’s Place since June, and we genuinely couldn’t be happier with our experience. From the start Michelle and the team have created an inclusive, fun and educational environment where we feel very confident sending our child.<br><br>From the very beginning, the owner/director and educators went above and beyond to make the transition as comfortable as possible. They organised playdates to help familiarise our child with the centre and took the time to provide regular, personal updates throughout the settling-in process. The owner even called us personally during the first few days to let us know how things were going, which was incredibly reassuring as parents.<br><br>What really sets Olive’s Place apart is the genuine warmth and attentiveness of the team. They haven’t just taken the time to learn what our child likes and dislikes; they’ve made a real effort to understand their personality and who they are as an individual. The room leader regularly shares thoughtful, specific observations about their development and progress, which gives us real confidence that their learning and growth are being actively supported.<br><br>Our child absolutely loves going to “big school”, as they call it! They’ve made wonderful friendships with both the children and educators, and it’s fantastic to see how excited they are to attend.<br><br>We’re also incredibly impressed by the variety of experiences the centre provides. From Forest School and sessions with local Indigenous people to sporting activities with the junior NRL program, there’s a genuine commitment to exposing the children to different experiences and opportunities to learn. The centre strikes an excellent balance between education and development while maintaining a safe, clean, fun and nurturing environment.<br><br>One particularly special example was our child’s Magic Moments Day. The centre organises a dedicated day for each child annually, and the thought and care that went into making the day special really demonstrated just how well the educators know our child. It wasn’t simply a generic activity; it was something genuinely personal.<br><br>As parents, there’s nothing more reassuring than knowing your child is not only safe and happy, but truly understood, valued and encouraged to grow.<br><br>Olive’s Place has exceeded our expectations, and we’re incredibly grateful to Michelle and entire team for the care and dedication they show our child. We couldn’t recommend them more highly!

I honestly can’t speak highly enough of this centre. Both of my children attend, and we absolutely love it. It’s family-owned and family-run, and you can genuinely feel the difference the moment you walk through the door. The environment is warm, calm, and welcoming, nothing like the big corporate centres we’ve been in before. The educators are beautiful people who truly care about the kids. They know my children so well, and I can see how much effort they put into creating a safe, nurturing, and fun space every single day. Choosing this centre has honestly been one of the best decisions we’ve made. It feels like a little community, and I know my children are really seen, supported, and loved here. I recommend it to anyone looking for somewhere special.

My child absolutely loves coming to Olive's place. Michelle and her team are truly caring and i'm so impressed with all the small things the staff do to care for all the children.

Olive’s Place Early Learning Centre has exceeded all of our expectations. From the moment we enrolled my son at 15 months, we were supported with every step in the transition from home to early learning. Michelle, the director, is incredibly dedicated and her passion for early learning sets the tone for the whole centre. Each staff member is nurturing and attentive to all children’s interests, needs and development. The learning environment is stimulating and engaging with new activities daily targeting play skills, growth and development. It gives me great peace of mind knowing my child is safe, supported and well cared for with daily updates and photos of him engaging in learning activities. You know your child loves going to Olive’s Place when he says, “kindy” on repeat with a smile on the drive to the centre. My child is absolutely thriving at Olive’s Place and am so thankful we made the decision to enrol.
