There truly aren’t enough words to describe how special Lakeview Childcare is. From the moment you walk through the doors, you’re welcomed like family. It’s not just a centre – it’s a beautiful community filled with warmth, kindness, and genuine care. I recently had the privilege of spending two full days there while doing some work, and I got to see the heart of the place. The love and attention the staff give to each child is absolutely incredible. It’s clear that every team member is passionate about what they do, and it shines through in how the children are cared for and nurtured. We feel so lucky to have such an exceptional place so close to home. The friendships we’ve made with other parents have been an unexpected blessing, and the connection we feel to the whole Lakeview family is something truly special. A massive thank you to all the amazing staff who make Lakeview the warm, welcoming, and beautiful place it is. You really are changing lives – and we’re so grateful to be part of it.

We couldn't be happier with the staff at Lakeview who are the most genuine, trusting and caring people.

Lakeview Kindergarten and Childcare is nothing short of outstanding. My children have absolutely thrived in their care, and I cannot speak highly enough of the incredible staff. Every single educator is kind, caring, and truly exceptional at their job. They create such a warm, nurturing environment where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to grow. It genuinely feels like one big family, where every child is valued and every milestone is celebrated. The dedication, patience, and passion of the team at Lakeview shine through in everything they do. The learning experiences they provide are engaging, thoughtful, and tailored to each child’s needs, ensuring they develop confidence, curiosity, and a love of learning. I am beyond grateful for the positive impact Lakeview has had on my children, and I would wholeheartedly recommend them to any family looking for the best possible start in early education.

I have been thinking about reviewing this centre since my son left and was hesitant as it’s not 100% positive but I think it’s important for perspective parents to see things from all sides. My son is neurodivergent, he has associated sensory processing issues and speech delays. He had funding for an aide for 5 hours a day which I was advised by management “was for the centre not him specifically”. He was fine in the baby room but once he started 3 year old kinder I was often spoken to about how difficult he was and how he didn’t fit in with their system due to his sensory needs. I had multiple therapists attend the centre to visit the centre to do therapy with my son, all advised me that it wasn’t an inclusive environment and wasn’t good for my child. The kindergarten teacher made me feel pressured to move him onto a different centre or “special school” by constantly giving me feedback about him not fitting in, it got to the point where I tried to rush in and pick up as quickly as possible to avoid having yet another hurtful conversation about my sons deficits. Mind you my little boy is amazing. He has no malice intended towards others, he is verbal and a very happy playful child. He absolutely has developmental delays but didn’t deserve to be treated the way he was. I honestly felt like my son was a burden to the centre. For parents reading this, if your child is neurodiverse then it would be best to look elsewhere for childcare, I’m sorry to write this review but I feel my son was mistreated by this centre.

My daughter Alyssa attended this childcare for 21/2 years. It's amazing!! I highly recommend this centre. It was like a second home. We were so sad to say goodbye. I watched my little girl go from a shy, quiet little wallflower to a confident happy, giggly little chatterbox. All the girls are so caring and warm. I need to say a special thank to Christy the Kinder teacher and Janette the Manager for all their support through some very difficult times, they went above and beyond to help get extra support when Alyssa was falling behind at Kinder and got an assessment organised for her that diagnosed her with a developmental delay and helping with her fussy eating issues by helping her to enjoy the delicious meals they prepared and extra support for myself. They also went above and beyond with their support when my mother passed away. Alyssa repeated Kinder with the centre and really shone and blossomed in her second year with lots of extra support from the girls. I loved this centre so much that when I moved suburbs, I drove 40 minutes each way to send Alyssa here. We finished up a little earlier than we wanted here as it was time to get her in a new centre to make little friends before primary school next year. It was so sad to say goodbye. We miss all the staff, every single person at this centre holds a special place in our hearts. Thank you beautiful ladies xxx

My daughter attended Lakeview from the age of 8 months to 4 years. When it was time for my son to attend childcare I had no hesitation that I wanted him to attend Lakeview as well. All of the staff are lovely and caring and are all long term employees and I know without a doubt that all the children at Lakeview are cared for and respected. I highly recommend Lakeview Childcare & Kindergarten.
