This centre has reduced staff hours without consulting families. We pay the some of the highest fees in the area, all this so they can make even more money. They have now confirmed that the reduced hours will not see a reduction in the fee they charge. The high turnover of staff and telling departing employees not to tell families is also a very strange practice.

Hi I m posting This so Parents have awareness about their child and what happen here with your small child . Parents should think 1000 Times before Putting Child in this child Care our child went to this child care and stayed here for long long time.Before there was a nice manger of childcare since she left Child care became worse. Our child been subjected to bullying Due to that now facing mental health issue and scared of going to any child care. We put our trust on this child care management and Educators. Upon contacting several time so we understand what our child been through and provide proper mental health we have not received any kind of proper information. So If you care about your child Mental health Stay Far Far Away.

Hi QASIM Ali We are sorry to read your negative and unkind review about our beautiful Early Learning Centre, but we do need to state, we strongly disagree with all of your statements as they are so very untrue. Unfortunately, due to you waiting 4 + months to contact us to discuss your concern, it has been particularly challenging to move forward. As mentioned in our previous communications with you, we would love to invite you into the Centre for a meeting to discuss your concerns, and gain a better understanding of why you were unhappy? The care given to our little learners from our beautiful and qualified Educators is outstanding and as can be seen from all our other reviews, our families are happy with our Educators and care. It is so sad to see your unkind review. We do wish your family all the best for the future, and hope your little one continues to thrive in a new Early Learning Centre, that is better suited to your families needs.

We love this daycare. I was very nervous at the start as my son has a couple medical issues but he has just thrived and flourished. He loves his teachers and all his friends The staff have been so friendly and kind in helping my son navigate his journey at First . Can’t recommend enough.
