Having moved from Ireland to Australia in Sept 2012, I enrolled my daughter 2 year old into Angles of the Bay in Nov 2012. This preschool had been recommended to me by another mother in a play-group I had been attending at the time.
My daughter settled in without any issues, building great rapport with the other children and staff alike. Each member of staff is a nice as the next and all have warm and fun personalities which give a great reassurance that all children are being minded in a caring, happy and nurturing environment throughout the day - what else could a parent as for?
On the odd occasion I raised a question or a concern about something, immediate action was taken with my query followed up asap.
There’s great communication on children’s progress, development and activities undertaken, via daily summary reports, personalised development folders, monthly newsletter emails and best of all, gifts of paintings and drawings in each child’s mail box… my fridge is decorated from top to bottom with my daughter’s creative wonders.
I think the staff must sing to the children all day long… In addition to the good old nursery rhymes we’re all used to, songs are sang for packing up the toys, standing in a line, washing hands… I could go on and on. My daughter has a song for everything we do at home… it’s beyond adorable.
