We have been part of this centre for almost four years now, and I honestly can’t recommend it enough.<br><br>My eldest son started when he was one and is now almost five, and my younger son started when he was around one and is now almost three. We have experienced the centre both before and since the rebrand to Kidscape, and our experience has been incredibly positive.<br><br>The biggest thing for me is that my kids are genuinely happy there. They are happy to go in the morning, they come home happy, and they have learnt and developed so much during their time at the centre.<br><br>One thing I really value is the consistency of the educators. Teachers who looked after my eldest when he was one, nearly four years ago, are still there today. The educators who looked after my youngest when he was around one are also still there. That says a lot about the centre and the relationships they build with the children and families.<br><br>Communication with families is also really good. Information, updates and anything important are communicated to parents, and things are always passed on to families.<br><br>The director is very hands-on and is regularly out and about around the centre, along with the other office staff. Everyone is approachable and friendly, and you are always greeted with a hello and goodbye. When I drop my kids off, the other children generally all seem happy and settled.<br><br>I also really like that the centre doesn't feel overly crowded. They are always coming up with different ideas and activities for the kids, and there is clearly a lot of thought put into making their days enjoyable and educational.<br><br>I would absolutely recommend Kidscape to other families looking for a caring, welcoming, consistent and communicative childcare centre.

A fantastic service kids absolutely love the educators and what the centre offers in activities and outdoor play area

I’ve always heard amazing words spoken about this center, I’m glad I’ve chosen to send my little one here. Kylie is amazing and keeps us up to date with all details. Staff are amazing also. Feels like my kids second family!

All of the educators treat the children with care and love, and our kids often come home talking about them, always with positive stories. The management team puts efforts into organising special events (such as morning coffee truck) and making lots of upgrades. Well, our family have never had any issues with communication, and they are supportive. Even the centre chef always welcomes families with a smile.

I am absolutely thrilled with my experience at Kidscape Lara! The center is filled with an impressive range of educational and age-appropriate learning materials that truly help children engage, explore, and learn while they play. It’s evident that a lot of thought and care has been put into creating an environment where children can thrive and develop new skills in a fun and interactive way. In addition to the fantastic learning resources, Kidscape Lara offers a wide variety of programs that are perfect for every children. There’s something for everyone, whether you’re looking to enrich your child’s learning or simply find a fun activity for them to enjoy. After visiting, I’m confident that Kidscape Lara is exactly the kind of center you’re looking for. It’s a place where children can grow, learn, and most importantly, have fun!

We’ve been with Kidscape for a while, and it’s been amazing to see how much it has improved recently. Compared to the older setup, everything feels more organized, caring, and child-focused. Our little one is happier and more excited to go every day. The teachers are more engaged, the activities are more meaningful, and the environment feels much warmer and safer than before. It really feels like they’ve stepped up in all the right ways. Kidscape is definitely moving in the right direction, and we’re so glad to see the positive changes. It gives us a lot of peace of mind knowing our child is in such good hands now.

We enrolled our son in this child care, and we are truly happy with the love and care he receives every day. The educators are kind, patient, and genuinely dedicated to each child’s well-being. He has shown great progress in communication and social skills since joining. He enjoys the structured learning activities, outdoor play, and story times. The centre maintains excellent hygiene and provides regular updates and photos through the app, which helps us stay connected to his day. What we love most is how the educators treat him like family — always smiling, greeting him warmly, and supporting his individual needs. Thank you for creating such a nurturing environment. Highly recommend this child care to any parent looking for a safe and positive place for their little one.

Strongly do not recommend Kidscape. What was once a beautiful daycare (Heis) with a positive environment, it has now become hostile and toxic since the new centre took over. Unfortunately this stems from management (or lack of). No communication to parents, made to feel like a burden when needing to speak to management and they deliver broken promises. When they took over Hei schools at the beginning of the year, we were told that kinder subsidy was coming and for the kinder subsidy we were entitled to but not receiving, we would be back dated.. a blatant lie. Still to this date no subsidy has been granted or back paid to parents. Had to remove my child from this centre as he became so unhappy, so many unnecessary changes made to the centre and unhappy staff which then affected children. They do not respond to emails and do not answer the phones, so if youre wanting a centre with honest and open communication then I would look else where. Such a shame. REPLY TO BELOW RESPONSE: Wow great to see you can reply to negative reviews and not to parents emails. Have been emailing since before we finished in April and have still not received replies. You continued to deduct money from our account after we left the centre and continue to send us statements. I've emailed multiple times to sort this out and no reply. I also attended the centre a couple of weeks ago to be told you still didn't have kinder funding?? So is this another one of your lies or did it only come into play last week after 6 months of being told it was coming? After my visit I was told management would be in contact... in which you haven't. My husband tried contacting you this week also to which we haven't had a reply. I guess the only way to get through is via google reviews.

I appreciate the effort the centre has made in improving the outdoor space and adding new resources — it’s a positive step. However, I’ve noticed quite a few news reports about this centre recently, and based on my own experience, I feel that communication between management and families needs significant improvement. Concerns raised by parents and staff don’t always seem to be acknowledged or addressed. Because of this, I would not recommend this centre under its current management. I truly hope to see better communication and responsiveness in the future.
