How refreshing it is to find a centre that prioritises outdoor and creative play! Having staff like Tressa is such a benefit especially when having to drop off our baby who is not yet at the age to speak about his day, I can always tell how his day has gone when I pick him up seeing his reaction to saying goodbye to her. And again at drop off when he is greeted by her in the morning. So grateful to have a 2nd home for him while we are busy working. LOVE THIS CENTRE!

The team at Sanctuary Maudsland are incredible and as soon as you walk in the front door it feels like home. My kids loved it and now that the last one is at school we still drop in and say hi.

Sanctuary Maudsland is truly a hidden jem! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by a warm and friendly team who clearly love what they do. The classrooms are beautifully designed and thoughtfully set up and the outdoor spaces are fab fun for the littlies. I really couldn't believe how fantastic the food was, Mandi does an awesome job in the kitchen. If you're looking for a place where your child will be nurtured, inspired and truly happy every single day, look no further. Highly recommend!!!

I would highly recommend Sanctuary Maudsland to anyone looking at care providers for their child. My son has been attending this Centre for over 4 years and has grown immensely with his learning and social skills. He has been consistently nurtured and loved by the educators following the passing of his father and I am grateful for the way it's being handled for him. He now has a great group of friends going to big school with him next year also - I'm very glad we chose this provider.

My 2 year old son is enrolled here is has been enjoying the dolphins room. The directors and educators particularly Kim, Steph, Tressa and Kristy have been great in communicating with us on how our son has been going... socially and how he has been growing and developing. They have great activities setup on a daily basis and really try to get the kids to engage. A big stand out for me is that they have Chef Mandy working daily on feeding the kids from the in house kitchen. I would highly reccomend to do a tour and get a feel for the place.

I can’t speak highly enough of Sanctuary Maudsland, both of my children have attended the centre and love it. The educators genuinely care and are invested in each child’s wellbeing and development. There’s a wonderful community feel throughout the centre with a centre pantry and community library, you can see the connection throughout. Everybody is so approachable and I’m so glad to have Sanctuary Maudsland as part of our village.

We were looking for a local child care centre for our daughter and approached Sanctuary. My first impressions were largely quite positive. The then Director, Brit was very thorough with her walk through of the centre and their offerings. We had a couple of stay and plays, the first we spent some time with Steph and we could tell she was very passionate. The second visit in November was quite the opposite and red flags appeared. We learnt that Steph had moved onto another role and wouldn’t be in the room, so we took steps to try and engage with the broader team. The staff were not as engaging, and when I asked what a normal day looks like their response was that they’d put my child in a bouncer in the corner given how little she is (and that would be her day) - I said that based on my observations there were children throwing toys at one another and hitting one another (staff weren’t responsive), and asked who would be watching that my child would be out of harms way given she’s quite young and the other children seem quite older and rough with supervision minimal. The respond we received was that “we do our best but we can’t guarantee supervision because we can’t have our eyes on every child”. The next red flag was a child standing on a seat quite unbalanced - had they have fallen back would have been quite injured. The staff member who was within a metre away took 5 minutes before they even took action to support the child down. The rugs and furniture were very dirty and stained - despite reassurances in our first visit they are all cleaned regularly. There were some quite sick children. One child was left unsupervised crawling from the room to outside on concrete with no coverings on their arms or legs - it concerned me that that poor little child would have had grazes and sores from the concrete - staff just walked around and did nothing to ensure the safety and wellbeing of this child. The toys were in shambles missing pieces, and books absolutely destroyed with pages missing. Overall not a great experience and I’d highly recommend to look around at other options in the area.

We have been part of Sanctuary Early Learning Adventure Maudsland for a couple of years now, and it has been such a welcoming and inclusive centre for our son. The educators are warm and supportive, and the focus on hands-on play makes learning exciting and meaningful for the children. We have been so happy being part of this wonderful community!
