0 stars.<br>We were with this childcare centre for almost two years, basically from the time it first opened. For the first year and a half, it was fantastic. The educators were amazing, our children were happy, and we genuinely recommended the centre to others<br><br>Unfortunately, things changed dramatically.<br><br>The staff turnover throughout our time there was concerning, with so many wonderful educators leaving. We were never given updates or reassurance about why staff were constantly changing. No providing of any reassurance about the care and stability of our children and the centre - head office just chose not to say anything.<br><br>Things then went from bad to worse. Both directors left, followed by almost the entire team, including the chef. Families were given no explanation, no updates, and no transparency. We were expected to continue sending our children there while the entire centre was falling apart around us.<br><br>It’s no surprise that families started leaving. By the time we gave our notice, there were only six children and three staff left in the entire centre. Even after multiple families had handed in their two weeks’ notice, there was still complete silence from head office. They only contacted families right at the very end, once the damage had already been done. It was far too little, far too late.<br><br>What is most disappointing is that this could have been avoided. People understand that staffing challenges happen, but families deserve honesty, communication, and reassurance when it comes to the people caring for their children. We received none of that.<br><br>The educators who stayed did their absolute best under impossible circumstances, and they deserve far better than the lack of support they appeared to receive. Sadly, the failure of management and head office completely destroyed what was once a fantastic childcare centre.<br><br>I never thought I would be writing a review like this, but based on my experience, I cannot recommend this centre to anyone.

My daughter is so happy attending Una. She absolutely loves patting the snake in the mornings with Miss Tracey and enjoys having all the animals to play with throughout the day. Tracey and Tayla are always so helpful in the office, and it’s clear they genuinely love what they do. Her teacher, Miss Courtney, along with her teacher aide Miss Brooke, create such engaging activities that my daughter talks about every afternoon. The centre has a calm and welcoming atmosphere and offers truly wonderful experiences—from interacting with animals to visits to the nursing home and trips to the park. We are so happy we found Una!

My child has really started to shine since moving to UNA Springwood. I love seeing how happy she is to get to kindy in the morning and hearing all the stories about what she did at kindy at the end of the day. The team at UNA Springwood have been amazing and welcoming and supporting my little one and her curiosity

Una has been such a warm welcoming environment. Since starting my child last week she has settled in well. Always happy to say bye during drop off which shows me a safe and supportive environment, which is all I could ask for.

Wonderfully welcoming centre. Great atmosphere every time we walk in & I always feel confident my daughter is in the best hands — thank you for making childcare such a positive experience!

About Una Springwood

At Una Springwood there is so much learning happening naturally. We harness the power of nature to teach these invaluable life skills, turning every outdoor adventure into a lifelong lesson. Through real life experiences, children learn about the interrelationship of all living things. This helps them to think about the bigger questions of the environment and sustainability.

We strongly believe that using the natural world as a primary learning environment to foster holistic child development, emphasizing sensory exploration, risk taking and problem solving. We view nature as the “third teacher” alongside educators and peers for building resilience, creativity, and environmental consciousness.

At Una Springwood we really are all about re-wilding your child. With our very own petting zoo to our reptile enclosures, everywhere you look you will see children interacting with the animals, playing outside in our all natural environment, or enjoying themselves in the water park or rummaging through the trees looking for insects and creepy crawlies.
