When I first walked through the doors of Care A Lot Kindy, I was just another anxious parent hoping to find someone who would love my daughter Ocean as much as I do. What I found was so much more than a daycare – I found a second family. From day one, Nicky welcomed us with open arms and an understanding heart. Her communication wasn't just professional; it was personal, thoughtful, and genuine. She didn't just see Ocean as another child in her care – she saw her as the precious little person she is, with her own unique personality, needs, and dreams. Nicky's ability to truly listen and understand what Ocean needed, and what I needed as her parent, was nothing short of extraordinary. But it wasn't just Nicky who made Care A Lot Kindy special. Every single educator who cared for Ocean treated her with the tenderness, patience, and love that any parent would. They celebrated her victories, comforted her tears, and nurtured her growth with the same devotion I would have given her myself. They didn't just watch her – they cherished her. Ocean would light up when she saw her teachers each morning, and that joy in her eyes told me everything I needed to know. She felt safe, loved, and valued. The way they remembered her favourite toy (Kirk the Koala), how they knew exactly what would make her smile on a difficult day, and how they celebrated every milestone as if she were their own child – these are the moments that made Care A Lot Kindy genuinely one of a kind. As we move forward to our next chapter, I carry with me the peace of mind that comes from knowing my daughter experienced unconditional love and care during some of her most formative years. The foundation of trust, kindness, and joy that the team at Care A Lot Kindy helped build in Ocean will stay with her forever. To Nicky and every educator who poured their hearts into caring for Ocean – thank you. You didn't just provide childcare; you provided a loving environment where my daughter could flourish. You are exceptional people doing extraordinary work, and Ocean and I are forever grateful. Care A Lot Kindy isn't just a daycare – it's a place where children are treasured, families are supported, and love is the foundation of everything they do. They are absolutely one of a kind. With all my love and gratitude, Felicity Presnell (Ocean's mum) xox

Like many parents, I was very nervous about my child starting kindy and asked around for recommendations. Care A Lot Kindy 2 had the best reviews, and for good reason. All of the educators have been patient and kind with my child and he has developed a strong connection with all of them - 2 in particular :) He wakes up excited to go to kindy and not only to see his friends, but to learn. He has so much fun learning thanks to the care and thoughtful planning of the staff. The best part of my day, every day, is seeing the photos from kindy and witnessing his development, in every sense. Thank you so much to the staff for welcoming us with smiles each morning.

I have two children that are at Care a Lot. I am very impressed with all aspects of their care and service. The teachers are fantastic. A highlight would be the daily reports and key developmental updates.

We love having your boys with us and we are priviledged to have watched your older son develop and are grateful for the opportunity. We are confident he will be ready for school when you decide to send him. We also want to thank you for your kind words and we look forward to watching your 2nd son develop over the coming years.
