Our little one started in the nursery room a few months ago and we couldn’t be happier with our experience so far!<br><br>The educators have been amazing- they bring such positive energy each day, provide thoughtful handovers, and are so warm and caring towards the kids. We are incredibly grateful for the support and care they provide.<br><br>Our daughter wears a Rhino brace, and from day one the team has been accommodating and confident in helping with putting it on correctly. Their willingness to support her needs has meant so much to us.<br><br>She absolutely loves the food too!!<br><br>Highly recommend.

My experience and my son’s toilet training journey with Giraffe Early Learning Centre Warringah has been extremely positive.<br><br>As a parent, I initially thought I should have started the toilet training process earlier because at home my son was showing some interest in using the toilet. However, after speaking with his educators, I realised that although he was showing signs of readiness at home, he wasn’t demonstrating the same confidence or interest at the centre yet.<br><br>I really appreciated the educators taking the time to explain that children can behave differently in different environments, and I chose to trust the knowledge and experience of the professionals who care for my son every day.<br><br>Together, we waited for the right moment to begin the process, and the difference was clear. He started accepting invitations to sit on the toilet naturally, without feeling pressured, stressed, or anxious.<br><br>While toilet training can happen quickly for some children, I truly valued Giraffe’s approach of respecting each child as an individual and allowing them to develop at their own pace.<br><br>After a few months of consistency, patience, and support, my son is now recognising when he needs to go to the toilet before having an accident, and seeing his confidence grow has been amazing.<br><br>As a full-time working parent, knowing that my child spends so much of his day with people who genuinely know him, respect him, and support his development means everything to me. I completely trust the team and I am very grateful for the care, patience, and respect they have shown throughout this journey.

Now that i changed the centre, i can see a huge difference. If you genuinely care about your child’s developmental milestones and early childhood growth, I strongly recommend researching other options. As a full-time working mum of twins with no family support in Australia, I relied on this centre not only for supervision, but for genuine developmental care and support. Unfortunately, my experience was deeply disappointing from the very beginning, despite my patience and repeated attempts to work collaboratively with staff and management. My twins were clearly ready for toilet training and confidently communicated their needs at home. However, the centre showed little willingness to support this important milestone. What was most upsetting was that staff could not even follow a basic toilet-training routine consistently for a single day. On one occasion, I picked up my children in wet pants, visibly uncomfortable and distressed, still playing in that condition. They were only taken to be changed after staff noticed I had arrived. This was not simply a lack of developmental support — it reflected a lack of basic care and attentiveness. What made the situation even more disappointing was the complete lack of accountability. Instead of receiving an apology or constructive communication, I was met with dismissive attitudes from management. It often felt like the centre preferred parents who simply dropped off and picked up their children without asking questions or raising concerns. To summarise my concerns: --No individual developmental reports available. Daily diaries were often incomplete, repetitive, or missing altogether. --Four proactive knowledgeable room leaders disappeared( we've been told they resigned) within one year and were never properly replaced. --No structured programs for sports, language, behavioural development, or other enrichment activities. --The focus appeared to be mainly on “getting through the day” and minimising accidents — although unfortunately, there were still frequent incidents with no form or explanation available. Despite being one of the most expensive centres in the area, the quality of care and developmental support did not reflect the cost. Since moving my children elsewhere, I am not only saving money, but more importantly, I can finally see positive growth, consistency, parent staff engagements and genuine support in my children’s development. I truly wish I had made the move sooner.

The staff are incredible, and the facility is beautiful. My son gets excited the moment we drive into the car park! It’s such a relief as a parent to know he’s safe and happy at daycare. I couldn’t recommend this centre more highly.

Cannot recommend this centre more highly! Although brand new, the staff here are so experienced, and clearly passionate about the care they provide. My 3yr old has been in multiple centres as a result of interstate moves and I can confidently say that we are so happy here. Plenty of space for running around outside, consistent communication and updates and just genuinely fantastic educators.

My daughter’s favourite place ❤️. Amazing facilities but it’s really the staff that have made it such an easy transition. My daughter absolutely loves it there and asks to go back everyday. They do a big range of different crafts and activities that I hear about the moment she gets home. Her speaking, communication and sharing has improved so much since going too. I couldn’t fault the centre at all and we will be going as long as we can. 😊

I’m very happy with our experience at Giraffe so far. This is our first time dealing with daycare for our firstborn daughter and the free orientation sessions helped both myself and my daughter gain confidence with the environment in the lead up to her first day and my return to work. The carers are all lovely and friendly and my daughter clearly enjoys her time there. The carers and the centre keep us updated on her daily activities and seem genuinely invested in her development. The facilities are brand new, spacious, and have ample outdoor space both in the open and undercover so the littles can spend time outdoors regardless of the weather. I would recommend Giraffe Warringah to other families.

Excellent Communication and Updates As a working mum, it gives me such peace of mind knowing my son is in great hands at Giraffe Warringah. The daily updates and photos I receive through the Xplor app make me feel connected to his day, and I can see how much he enjoys all the activities. The team is always approachable and responsive, which makes a huge difference.
