Our daughter has been at this centre for about 4 years now. She’s thriving thanks to the educators and kinder teachers’ care and attention. What drew us to this centre was actually the children we observed during our tour and trial. They were helpful to one another and all had a voice. We took it as the staff modeled such an environment which is what we wanted for our child. Over the years we also observed all staff doing their very best to accommodate the needs of all children (and parents) and we sincerely appreciate that.

Very poor experience with this childcare centre. We had to call over 8 - 10 times before finally getting a response from the Centre Manager, Jo — she does not return calls, making communication extremely frustrating. CCS was not applied correctly, and we were charged full fees for weeks until the issue was finally resolved. Our child regularly comes home with soiled underwear, which raises serious concerns about hygiene and care. On several occasions, we've found the kinder room unsupervised, with children left alone. I saw a child eating paper/plastic in the reading corner during pickup — staff were not even aware, and we had to step in and alert them. Incident reports are not being completed for above-the-shoulder injuries, which goes against basic safety policies. The kinder room is always messy, chaotic, and disorganised. It closes around 4pm every day, with children being moved into another class due to low centre occupancy — which is disruptive and doesn’t feel fair on the children. We are extremely disappointed in the lack of communication, care, and basic supervision. Would not recommend this centre based on our experience

Thank you, Rachael, for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re genuinely sorry to hear that your experience with our centre did not meet your expectations. We always welcome feedback, both positive and constructive, as it helps us to grow and improve. We do wish these concerns had been raised with us directly at the time, as we are committed to working in partnership with families and addressing any issues promptly and collaboratively. The experience you've described is not reflective of the feedback we typically receive. Nonetheless, we take all feedback seriously and will continue to reflect and improve where needed to support the wellbeing of our children and families. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts.
