My son absolutely loves it here! The girls are so amazing, organised, efficient and communication is on point with routines & anything important. I feel good knowing my son is well looked after, cared for and loved by these amazing educators! The yards are fantastic and the programs support children’s learning and development well.

My son has been attending Happy Hippo for the last two years and has been so lucky to have some truly amazing relationships with his educators. The communication to families is great, the yards are incredibly spacious and the way that child voice is considered, is second to none. My son hates leaving at the end of the day!

Hubby and I are looking at relocating down south from the NT in 2026. Recently we came down an toured local services, I was hesitant to tour this centre as the previous reviews looked poor, but I did because it is close to our new home. I had to put my review up, because our experience was FANTASTIC. From the minute we arrived, we were greeted by Jess the Service Leader and the centre was beautiful, every educator made us feel welcome,with a busy outdoor 3 year old, we feel in love with the Bush Kinder. Do yourself a favour and go visit. We can’t wait to start in 2026
