My son has been attending this centre for over a year and he absolutely loves it. The educators are incredible — patient, caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in each child’s wellbeing and development. I trust every single one of them with my child, and I would never put him in an environment where he wasn’t safe or cared for. The centre itself is secure, organised, and professional. There are cameras throughout, a keypad entry with individual codes, and sign-in/sign-out tablets that ensure only authorised people access the site. The staff know exactly who is coming and going, which gives me peace of mind. Communication is excellent. I receive daily updates, including meals, naps, toilet breaks, and photos of activities. They’re always happy to chat about how my son is going, what he’s learning, and any goals they’re helping him work toward. As with any daycare, kids have moments - they’re learning boundaries, sharing, emotions, and how to navigate social situations. On the one occasion my child was bitten (which can happen in any centre), the educators handled it professionally and compassionately. They called me straight away, documented it, notified the other parents, and made sure both children were monitored moving forward. I couldn’t have asked for anything more. The educators are on a first-name basis with not only the kids but most parents too. They genuinely know and care about the children, and it really feels like an extended family. My son has grown and developed so much since starting there - emotionally, socially, and verbally. He has become a more confident and happy little person. There will always be a mixture of opinions online, but I encourage parents to visit the centre themselves, meet the staff, ask questions, and make their own judgement. For us, Little Zak’s Carey Bay has been one of the best decisions we’ve made for our family, and I couldn’t recommend them more highly.

Jacynta has been a consistent and caring presence in our daughter’s life since she started at Little Zacks around 1.5 years ago. She is sincere, attentive, and truly engaged with the children—always taking the time to understand their needs and joining in with them during meals and play. We were so pleased to hear she would be moving to the Navigators room along with our daughter this year, providing that continuity and familiar support. Little Zacks has been a wonderful environment for our daughter to develop essential skills. The educators work together beautifully, creating a warm and nurturing space where each child is supported. We’re very grateful to have Jacynta and the team guiding her through these important early years.
