My son has now left this kinder. Although we appreciate the time staff spent caring for him, there were several aspects of our experience that we felt could have been better.<br><br>The space felt quite small for the number of children attending. During some midday visits, I saw toddlers sleeping on the floor without an educator visible nearby, although I was not aware of the supervision arrangements. Another child also cut my son’s hair with scissors. I appreciated staff letting me know, but the incident left me concerned about supervision during activities involving scissors.<br><br>There were also some everyday care and communication issues. I frequently noticed that my son’s runny nose had not been wiped, both in the shared photos and at pickup. I would also have appreciated clearer updates about what he actually ate each day, as food rarely appeared in the photos.<br><br>During his time there, he began saying “I’ll bash you” daily and shushing people who were in his way. While I understand that children pick up behaviours from different places, this change concerned us.<br><br>We would have appreciated a more thoughtful farewell. While we were still in the room on his last day, my son heard the manager say, “Tear his name down.” This may have been a routine instruction, but the timing felt insensitive and was disappointing to hear.<br><br>I hope this feedback helps the centre improve its care and communication with families. This review reflects our personal experience, and I ask that our decision to share it be respected without requests to remove it.
