Kiddies on first is the most beautiful childcare environment which I would highly recommend to anyone. My son went there for 18 months and we only left as we moved to Melbourne. I haven’t been able to find anywhere even half as good in our new area. Stephanie and the team are caring and nurturing and generally seem happy and enjoy their jobs. They care for the kids as if they are their own. They are cleaned and changed after messy play or eating. Little changes in behaviour or physically are picked up on and reported to you. It is always relaxed and calm and all the kids seem happy. All staff have been there a long time and know each other well. There is a strong routine but also flexible to meet everyone’s needs. My son started to show signs of delay and this was picked up and supported really quickly. The environment is beautiful, big open spaces with lots of focus on the natural environment. Stephanie is very creative and there is lots of different crafts going on and using everyday objects in creative ways. They had a butterfly enclosure and watched them change from caterpillars to butterfly’s, hermit crabs, fish. Staff are very emotionally in tune with the kids needs making drop off really smooth. So many activities and learning opportunities everyday. So much singing, dancing and reading. The multi age model seemed strange to me at first but it works really well. The space is really big for the amount of children and staff ratio is high. It provides a really natural environment where little ones can learn from older ones and older ones can learn to be gentle and help with little ones. There is age appropriate learning happening so no one is missing out but children have freedom to experience a range of things. It also means the children know all the staff not just their room leader and there is no big change once a year when the room changes. I could not rate this place more highly, I think it is amazing what Stephanie has created. I still miss it everyday and the relaxed feeling I had knowing my son was being taken care of the same way he would be taken care of at home.

Kiddies on First is our sons home away from home. Stephanie and her Team treat each child like their own children, with love, respect and care. We moved out of the area and travel a fair while each day, but never for a second considered leaving Kiddies. There is noone in the industry like Stephanie. She genuinely cares for our children and we trust her wholeheartedly. Our son has thrived at Kiddies and absolutely loves his time there.

An Exceptional Experience at Kiddies on First Our son, Sepehr, had an absolutely wonderful time at Kiddies on First. From the very first day, we were impressed by the warmth, professionalism, and dedication of Stephanie and her amazing team. They created a nurturing and positive environment where Sepehr felt safe, happy, and truly cared for. The team at Kiddies on First not only focuses on the children’s education and development but also goes above and beyond to make each day enjoyable and memorable. Sepehr came home every day with happy stories and experiences, and we know he will treasure these memories for years to come. We are deeply grateful for the kindness and support shown to both Sepehr and our family during our time at Kiddies on First. It’s clear that the staff genuinely love what they do, and their passion is reflected in every interaction. We wholeheartedly recommend Kiddies on First to any family looking for a loving, professional, and enriching childcare environment. We look forward to visiting again and wish Stephanie and her fantastic team all the best for the future!

This center is the true definition of home away from home! Stephanie and her amazing team are a big part of our lives and have nurtured our son with love and kindness for the past 1.5 years. What we love most is how family focused the activities are; e.g. our weekend visit to a train museum got explored further in childcare, the team has started to proactively engage our son in activities around welcoming his new sibling. We are always welcomed by warm smiles at drop off and lots of commentary about his day at pick up - we really couldn't ask for more!

The most caring educators who accomodate and make the children feel so safe and happy they feel like family the whole team at kiddies on first.

I wouldn't go to this service unless you want children that never want to leave, educators that are respectful towards children and always engaged with them, excellent communication from teachers and the director, endless craft and creative projects being brought home, healthy meals daily, or just exceedingly wonderful care for your child.

The most amazing daycare with carers who truely care about your children. I have two kids and both LOVE going there. The eat, sleep and grow as people each time they go. Stephanie and her team are so beautiful and nurturing. I highly recommend the centre. It feels so homely.

My two boys attended this daycare and it was a wonderful experience. I looked at several daycares in the area before finding Kiddies on First. I had quite high expectations as I was after a centre that could accommodate the additional needs of one of my sons, who had undiagnosed developmental issues at the time. The minute I walked through the door I knew it was the right place. Stephanie, the director, has created a warm and welcoming environment and it really feels like you're stepping into a family home where your little ones will be cared for like they are family. Stephanie and her team of caring and dedicated educators were so supportive of my boy and his unique needs. They even managed to foster his first friendship, which was huge for his confidence. Unfortunately we had to say goodbye to Stephanie and her team as we moved to South West Sydney. My sons have since settled into a new daycare but they still talk about going back to Kiddies on First. It really is top notch child care and I can't recommend it enough!

Our first year at kiddies and we couldn’t be any happier with Stephanie and the team, our daughter loves the centre so much that every time I have to pick her up we can’t leave and tells me to actually leave. It really is an amazing place and you can tell that all the staff really love and care about the kids. My daughter now is so talkative and has learnt so much in her first year,We highly recommend Kiddes on first all my daughter talks about when she’s not at school is when are we going to school. It really is her second home. Thank you guys for making our daughter feel so special and loved. We can’t wait for next year.

Stephanie and her amazingly dedicated team are simply the best in the area! I work in the industry and walked through the doors of many centres and would NOT trust my precious little humans with anyone else. The centre is like one big family where each child quickly makes a confident and positive connection with the educators and the physical environment... and this is down to the warmth and vibe that all at Kiddies on First have created. Staff turnover is super super low which tells a positive story in itself. Absolutely did not hesitate in my 5 star rating! 👌🏻
