Stringybark is a great centre. Welcoming, safe, friendly, with cosy learning rooms and a nice outdoor play area. Gita and team are always nurturing and supportive. They know their kids’ unique personalities. Because of the centre’s small size, the educators can be attentive to each child. Daily activities are interesting and hands-on. Our child loves the many opportunities to make things. He’s eager to show us his drawings or crafts at the end of the day. Highly recommend!

My son attended this childcare for a month. The environment is warm and welcoming. Gita was incredibly supportive and went out of her way to help us during a tricky situation. Her kindness and professionalism truly stood out, and we really appreciated her efforts.

Gita and the team at Stringybark have been wonderful. They are such a kind team and so flexible as well! Truly a home away from home! You will not dissapointed.

I started sending my second child to Stringybark after noticing that his previous daycare, one of the big franchise childcare centres, did not provide enough attention and care. Now, I have also enrolled my third child full-time after attending both Stringybark’s Christmas party and the big centre’s End of Year Christmas party. Here’s an honest comparison: the big centre’s party felt more like a “photo session” for parents. Each class performed one or two songs, but not every child was meaningfully engaged. In contrast, Stringybark’s party was engaging for everyone, and it was clear the children had learned and practiced a lot. Moreover, I could observe that Stringybark’s children are much calmer and social while children at the other big centre are much noisier. To be honest, Gita and Stringybark’s educators actually educate children and pay attention to children’s behaviour so that they can encourage good behaviours and improve/correct wrong ones while big centre’s system did not pay that level of attention to children. I also noticed that Stringybark’s children are much calmer and more social, while the big centre’s children tend to be noisier. Gita and the educators at Stringybark genuinely educate the children and pay attention to their behaviour, encouraging good habits and addressing any issues. In comparison, the big centre’s system lacked this level of attention, ie, they only care when one of children starts crying & just cuddle the child without attempting to address issues or spot behavioural issues. They seemed focused on government assessments and grading - they worked hard to maintain appearances, but staff turnover was high, and the supervising manager was often busy with multiple franchises. When my second child struggled with social and speaking skills, Stringybark quickly identified the issue and implemented the best approach to support him. The big centre, on the other hand, struggled to go beyond meeting basic needs. While other daycare centres may have fancier facilities, the quality of education is what truly matters, and Stringybark excels in this area. I plan to keep my second and third children at Stringybark until they reach school age because I am confident they will meet all their educational and developmental needs, including social, emotional, physical, and literacy education. If you want your child to receive real, nurturing, quality education, send them to Stringybark.

Great childcare with stable staff. My daughter really likes the other kids and the age range mixed together. Excited to return to Stringybark in the morning and happy to see me at pick-up. Best situation!

My family loves Stringybark ChildCare. Gita and her team are kind, patient and caring. The centre feels like a home away from home. I am so grateful that I found Stringybark Childcare and highly recommend them.

Stringybark is my 3 year old son’s favourite place to be at, so much so that he gets excited when he hears its name. Gita is patient, considerate & kind - was helpful with our silly queries when we first got our son in 3 months ago. The other carers’ are patient with the kids & know exactly how to deal with them (something I struggle with haha) - I learn a thing or two when I pick him up. Stringybark is my son’s second home & I’m sure it’ll be home for my second son as well ! Appreciate the simple daily reflection letters they send - we look forward to receiving it everyday with its cute pictures of our little ones. Would certainly recommend Stringybark to anyone who’s looking for a good & reliable day care. Home away from home for sure!

We never had a problem in this amazing childcare. Gita and the team are very approachable and accommodating. It helped a lot for migrants like us who were just on the phase of big adjustment that time. My daughter has learned to socialise, handle her emotions, discover cultural diversity, and a lot more values. A daily journal is being sent everyday to keep the parents updated on the activities and so we have something to talk about at home. We also enjoyed the family days that they organised. Stringybark child care is a wonderful foundation for our daughter.

Very friendly, caring and accommodating staff. My daughter is always excited to go in this amazing facility. They are focused with the children’s learning and socialisation. They organised so many activities for the kids to improve their wellbeing. We are so lucky that we become part of this little community.

Gita and her team are amazing! We are so pleased with the social interactions, cultural awareness and learning that Zoe has acquired. She’s made some incredible friends and the daycare is an absolute community of warm, friendly educators and parents and children. Highly recommended.
