I would never recommend Woodlands, Warragul to anyone. We had two children in care for 3 days before we pulled them out. On the first day, there was much older kids in the baby’s room, picking up little children and walking around with them. No educator corrected this behaviour. On the second day, they had fed them once. Again on the third day, they had fed them once for 8.5 hours! 150ml for two tiny premature children. Not to mention this was over the heatwave Victoria experienced. This has brought immense stress and guilt on first time parents who found it hard it hard enough to even put their children in care only for their basic needs to be flat out neglected. I raised this immediately via email because the director was not in for days. I called everyday, I emailed every day and I continued to contact someone through the website booking Gidget. Requesting everyday for 1, a head office representative OR an email to discuss this neglect. I was told someone would call me. No one did. The next day I did the exact same thing, was told I’d be contacted. I wasn’t. This went on for a week. I would urge you to look elsewhere before coming here. Imagine having an issues with the pure neglect of care of your children and getting radio silence, while still being charged for days. Because again, I couldn’t get a hold of anyone. No second in charge, no assistant director. Nothing. The orientation was deplorable, the director at the time sat in silence with us for an hour each time without actually guiding us on what their procedures, costing, etc was. We weren’t even told they require 3 weeks costing upfront until they had already taken money from my account. The worst experience of a daycare. I wouldn’t even call it a daycare, there was NO care. Do NOT go here.

Update 28/3/25 very disappointed with upper/senior management and their manner in handling things. Complaints are being made to relevant authorities. My grandson has settled in very quickly and really enjoys going to Woodlands Long Day Care Warragul. The staff have been excellent, and the activities are fun and educational. Really enjoyed the grandparents day too!

Highly recommend! Jess and the team have been incredibly helpful in settling our little ones into care. Everyone is so friendly and super helpful. It’s so nice as a parent that you can have peace of mind that your child is being so well cared for! Thanks to the entire team at Woodlands Warragul.

Definitely would recommend this centre. Great communication between me and the educators. Awesome play space for the kids. My daughter always comes home saying she's had great day. Nice new clean centre 👌

So disappointed to have to change my review of this centre. While I hold a lot of respect for the educators who work here, upper management has a lot to answer for. Policies and procedures were NOT followed in relation to my son. Upon further investigation I will be reporting my experience to the necessary authorities. The staff have been let down by this organisation, and whilst they are all lovely people, my son was let down by their management system. I will NEVER recommend this centre. If google would allow it, I would give it 0 stars.

A Dream Start for Our 4-Year-Old at Woodlands! We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Woodlands! Our 4-year-old recently started here, the transition has been so smooth and comforting. The Centre Managing Director was incredibly helpful with the enrolment process—Jess went above and beyond! The educators are exceptionally caring, patient, and attentive. They truly make an effort to get to know each child and help them feel welcome. Our little one already looks forward to going every day and talks non-stop about the fun activities with all of his friends. We’re thrilled to see the positive impact it’s having and feel so grateful for such a nurturing environment. Highly recommend Woodlands to anyone looking for a safe, engaging place for their child! A big thank you to the team at Woodlands!

My daughter started her first experience of daycare here. Jess and her staff are so caring and go above and beyond to make children and their families feel welcome.

Beautiful service with amazing educators who have gone to lengths to get to know my children and make their transition as smooth as possible!

Our son goes here and he loves it. The staff are all approachable and kind, and the educators really care about him. Highly recommend. Conveniently placed across from Warragul North Primary School.
