⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ More than just a daycare, it genuinely feels like family. ❤️<br><br>One of the things that makes OAC stand out so much is the incredible variety of experiences they give the children. There is always something exciting happening, and the children are constantly given opportunities to learn, explore and experience things outside the usual daycare environment.<br><br>They bring in zoo educators and animal experiences, have a travelling dentist visit the children, run soccer afternoons and regularly have different amazing people come in to teach, entertain and engage the kids. It is the kind of place where you can tell they are constantly thinking about how they can make each experience even better for the children. 🐘⚽️🦷🎨<br><br>I also love that the children get out into the community. They go on walks wearing their high vis vests to the local park and even Buderim Primary, giving them a chance to explore their surroundings, build confidence and learn how to safely navigate the world outside the centre. 🌿<br><br>Then there are the incredible spaces and programs within OAC itself, including Bush Kindy experiences, the sensory room, beautiful art room and activities designed to cater to different interests, abilities and sensory needs. There really is something for every child.<br><br>But honestly, what I notice most is the feeling when you walk through the door. There are no bad vibes. It does not feel clinical or like you are simply dropping your child off at a childcare centre. It feels like you are walking into a family home filled with warmth, kindness, laughter and genuine love for the children. ❤️<br><br>The staff are welcoming, approachable and genuinely invested in the families. You feel included, supported and part of the community, and that means so much as a parent.<br><br>It is obvious that so much heart, creativity and effort goes into creating these experiences. OAC is not just looking after children. They are helping them build confidence, independence, friendships, curiosity and beautiful memories.<br><br>We feel incredibly lucky to be part of it. OAC is the kind of place you hope to find when you are choosing somewhere to trust with your child, and then realise you have found something even better than you imagined. ❤️🌿✨

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely incredible!<br><br>OAC has truly become something special. ❤️ I was talking to a few parents over the weekend who had previously attended OAC, and they were genuinely amazed by how much it has grown and evolved — several even said they wished they hadn’t left!<br><br>For our family, I honestly wouldn’t choose anywhere else. The love, care, community and opportunities OAC provides are exceptional. The educators go above and beyond to make every child feel safe, secure, valued and confident, while also encouraging them to explore, take on new experiences and discover the world around them.<br><br>I especially love seeing how engaged Maxwell is with learning outside of the traditional classroom. He comes home telling us the best stories about his Bush Kindy adventures, and it’s beautiful watching his confidence, curiosity and love of nature grow. 🌿<br><br>OAC has also created such an incredible environment for children with different sensory needs, including a dedicated sensory room where children can regulate and feel calm when they need some quiet time. Their state-of-the-art art room is another amazing space that allows the children to be creative, explore and express themselves.<br><br>What really stands out is the incredible team of educators and staff. They put so much thought, care and effort into creating experiences that challenge and inspire the children, while always keeping their individual needs and wellbeing at the heart of everything they do.<br><br>Thank you, OAC, for giving Maxwell the opportunity to grow, explore, build confidence, develop independence and fall in love with learning and nature. We are genuinely so grateful to be part of such a beautiful community. ❤️🌿✨<br><br>If you’re looking for a daycare where your child is genuinely known, cared for and encouraged to thrive, I couldn’t recommend OAC highly enough. xx

We couldn't be happier with our experience at OAC Little Village.<br><br>As a professional working family in healthcare and engineering, our son spends long days in care, so choosing the right early learning centre was incredibly important to us. Having come from an excellent centre in Brisbane, we had high expectations when we moved to the Sunshine Coast in early 2025.<br><br>OAC Little Village has met and now exceeds those expectations. Since joining the centre, our son has absolutely thrived. He is engaged, confident and genuinely excited to go each day, and it has been wonderful to watch him develop such positive relationships with the educators and other children.<br><br>We've been especially impressed by the positive direction of the centre under its new leadership in 2026. The communication with families is excellent, the educators are warm, caring and genuinely invested in each child's wellbeing and development, and there is a real sense of community throughout the centre.<br><br>Knowing our son is spending his days in such a nurturing, engaging environment gives us enormous peace of mind. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found OAC Little Village and would highly recommend it to any family looking for a high-quality early learning centre.

We had high expectations, and OAC has comfortably EXCEEDED them.<br>Our son is absolutely thriving at OAC Little Village. He’s confident, has built great bonds with the staff, and is genuinely excited for drop-off every single morning. Knowing he's in such a positive environment gives us total peace of mind.<br>The new 2026 leadership team deserves a lot of credit, too. Communication is sharp, the educators are fantastic, and there’s a great community vibe throughout the place.<br>If you're looking for high-quality early learning on the Coast, Little Village ticks the right boxes.<br><br>HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Only About Children (OAC) Little Village Early Learning Centre based in Buderim is not only an aesthetically pleasing facility, it’s enriched with highly educated, skilled and knowledgeable early learning educators and is founded on the child-centred learning approach. Over the past year, we have seen the centres education team stablished through permanent staff appointments and studio allocations. Furthermore, we have seen an improvement in communications on safety, quality and general updates across the facility, and a strong feeling of inclusiveness and trust built through family and centre staff partnerships, as well as community. From quality management, a focus on occupational health and safety, catering, considered education and up to date furnishing and learning tools, we feel confident and assured as parents that our child is safe, well looked after, is genuinely having fun and is continuously learning when they attend OAC. We have seen a remarkable and positive shift in the learning and education program deployed within the last six months. We have seen our child go from strength to strength developmentally and become a strong and resilient child. Our child enjoys the incursion and themed week opportunities. This is a credit to Emma, Rebecca and the OAC team.

My little guy is in the nursery here and we love it so much! My 11 month old gets so excited every time I drop him off which is a massive difference to our previous daycare. We get daily app updates/pics of what the babys get up to, they are accommodating for my early shift times ensuring my son has a regular staff member with him in the mornings when i have to drop off early. Hannah, tiani and thalia in particular are amazing! I always feel so welcomed when doing drop offs and pick ups. And the outdoor area is so good for the little ones alot of the times when i turn up they are playing outside, the fresh air is so good for them!. I just wish I found this day care earlier for my little man will definitely recommend to everyone.

Since April, my two daughters have attended Little Village Buderim, and our experience has been overwhelmingly positive. True to its name, they've cultivated a nurturing 'little village' atmosphere. The educators there are incredibly kind and welcoming. I recall feeling anxious when dropping off my youngest for her first day at daycare, but the staff went the extra mile to ensure a seamless and reassuring transition for both of us. Additionally, the app they provide, which offers photo updates and daily summaries, is a fantastic tool that lets parents join in on their child's journey.

Updated review : Our little one started going here when it was Little village and operated by the previous owners. Many of the 5 star reviews attributed to the centres current star rating is because of that centre and the experience it provided. The new centre as it currently stands is what reflects my 2/5. The staff at this centre were lovely. The centres downfall was clearly from a change in management that resulted in a significant increase in staff leaving with a continual revolving door of new staff which meant no real bonding with the little ones. Day by day we watched this centre turn into a place that was no longer capable of caring for our daughter. We changed centres and it was the best decision we could have made. There should be a legal requirement for daycare centres to notify families if they are planning to sell the centre to at least enable parents to consider the ramifications.
