Kaleidoscope is honestly second to none when it comes to daycare. From day one, they made the transition so easy and reassuring for our little one (and for us as parents too!).<br><br>The educators are incredibly caring, patient, and genuinely invested in each child. You can really feel how much they love what they do. We get regular updates throughout the day on everything - sleep, meals, nappy changes - which gives us so much peace of mind.<br><br>It’s the perfect balance of being super professional while still feeling warm, personal, and full of love - just like home. Our daughter absolutely adores her educators and is always happy to go in, which says everything. Drop-offs are smooth and stress-free every day.<br><br>We feel so lucky to have found Kaleidoscope and couldn’t recommend them more highly!

The staff really get to know each family there, making everyone feel welcome. My little ones adore going to daycare everyday. The programs are perfect for their development.

Absolutely wonderful centre! My daughter has been going since it opened and we have had such a great experience. The educators are warm and inviting and genuinely care for every child. My daughter has thrived since being here and they truely go above and beyond to help families. Sharlene and her team have done a wonderful job at leading such an amazing centre and creating a positive environment for all. The centre itself is beautiful and spacious and very inviting. Highly recommended to all families looking for a centre that values children’s needs and interests, creates a safe environment, and that will exceed all your expectations.

Absolutely cannot recommend Kaleidoscope Kids enough! The team have worked closely with my family to make sure that my daughter settled in perfectly. She finally feels safe and secure at daycare - which is massive for my child. The love and care the team has given my daughter has been absolutely amazing and I cannot ask for a better centre. Director Sharlene and all educators is my daughter's room have helped massively in our transition and has made sure my daughter feels safe, loved and comfortable every day! So glad we found this centre when we did!<br>Cannot recommend enough 😊

My child has suspected ASD and ADHD and began on a six-week transition plan with reduced hours. I agreed to this because I wanted to give him every opportunity to settle successfully. During those six weeks, he had five amazing weeks and only two difficult days. Instead of recognising the progress he had made, those two days seemed to outweigh everything else. We were then told his reduced hours would continue “until further notice” with no clear timeframe or pathway back to his enrolled hours.<br><br>As parents, we understand that children have bad days. We don’t expect perfection, and I don’t believe any childcare service should either. It felt as though my child was being judged more harshly because of his suspected diagnosis rather than being supported through the normal challenges that can come with settling into care.<br><br>Communication throughout the process was extremely disappointing. I emailed expressing my concerns about not being able to continue the reduced hours arrangement and received no response. It was only after I made the decision to withdraw my child that there suddenly seemed to be a willingness to discuss alternative arrangements.<br><br>One of my biggest concerns was the lack of communication around the strategies being used to support my child. When we asked what was being done to help him regulate his emotions, we were never given clear answers. One day, I was told by an educator that when he became heightened, they had simply ignored him rather than supporting him through his emotions. For my child, this approach is not appropriate. He needs connection, reassurance and co-regulation when he is dysregulated. When we later raised this with the Centre Director, the response we received was, “I don’t believe you.” I found that response incredibly disrespectful and dismissive of our concerns as parents.<br><br>Another heartbreaking part of this experience was that, after those two incidents, my child began telling me almost every day that he didn’t want to go to kindy because, in his words, “my teacher just gets angry at me.” As a parent, hearing your child say that is devastating. Whether that reflected how interactions were intended or simply how my child experienced them, it was a significant factor in our decision to leave. A child should feel safe, supported and understood in their learning environment.<br><br>By the end of our time at the service, the trust between our family and the centre had completely broken down. We no longer felt comfortable or supported, which is why we made the difficult decision to enrol our child elsewhere.<br><br>I sincerely hope the centre reflects on how it supports and communicates with families of children with additional needs. Every child deserves patience, understanding and genuine inclusion, not to feel like they are a problem because they have a couple of difficult days or moments.

My son has been going to Kaleidoscope Kids for almost 2 months now. The centre manager and educators are beautiful people. They have gone above and beyond to settle my baby into daycare. He has been having a hard time adjusting into care for the first time but I have never doubted if the centre is the right fit. Sharlene, the centre manager has really supported his transition and I couldn’t be more grateful for all the steps they have taken to build connection & make him feel comfortable. The educators in every room have been so kind and genuine. You can tell all the educators love their job at Kaleidoscope Kids. The centre is modern, clean, spacious and has wonderful outdoor play areas all shaded. I couldn’t recommend this centre enough. Thank you for genuinely caring and loving my boy.

My kids joined kaleidoscopes rothwell 3 weeks ago and as a “Karen mum” I cannot fault them. From the minute I called to book a tour they have been amazing! I have 2 children there and they both settled In very quickly and absolutely love it. The centre is so well resourced both inside and out catering to the interests of all children. The outdoor space is well shaded and super spacious which is perfect for “outdoors kids”. The educators are very friendly, professional and hospitable. From day 1 they have made my children feel valued and cared for. They had name tags and cubby holes for their bags ready for them on day 1 and they took genuine interest in the kids likes, dislikes and learning goals. My children have eczema/asthma/ Anaphylaxis and all of these have been taken seriously by the centre. The chef took the time to have a conversation with other me about my child’s allergies, food alternatives and changes she had made to ensure the safety of my daughter while in the centre. My daughter has learned more in her short 3 weeks in this kindy class then she had in the last 2 years of her last daycare. Miss Bora and Miss Karen go above and beyond every day to ensure they children have a fun, safe learning environment and I’ve seen huge changes in my daughter from their efforts. She is so happy to go to kindy and is now such confident learner.She now comes home talking about letters, days of the week, spelling her name and all the fun games her teachers play WITH her. Miss Tayla, Miss Angel and Miss Aliyah have been so patient, kind and nuturing with my son (2) they have taken the time to learn his cues, organise activities that cater to his high energy and nurture and comfort him as he settles into a new space. I decided to book in for a causal day and when I entered the room 2 educators were playing instruments and singing too/with the children. Every single child was engaged and calm. It was beautiful and wholesome. The centre manager Sharlene has genuine passion for her centre, position and team and it shows. Her and her team are always welcoming, kind and have professional calm about them which is felt in all the classes. Highly recommend! I wish I found them sooner 💕

My 4 year old daughter has never been in care before and had her first day at Kaleidoscope last week. Sharlene is so warm, welcoming and easy to communicate with. She has completely outdone herself by handpicking the most perfect bunch of educators to be part of the team, who I feel I can trust wholeheartedly with my daughter. The environment is so clean and modern, and compared to many centres I’ve toured Kaleidoscope exceeds all expectations by far! I was extremely anxious about putting my daughter into care, but the way Sharlene and ALL staff have made me feel super comfortable every time I’m in the centre and seeing the way they treat and care for my daughter has put me at ease. Would highly recommend this centre to everyone! Liah :)

Brand new centre. Have been so warm and welcoming to us and our son! Charlene is one of the nicest centre directors I have met. We have had the run around with childcare centers recently and staff not caring so I am so happy the staff here have been lovely!
