Handprints St Ives has been part of our family across many years and multiple children. We've been so lucky to have found an early learning centre that has been such a soft landing for our children as they start their care journeys. Every person you meet as you walk through the centre is gentle, caring and always has the best interests of the children at heart. The regular updates throughout the day are a lovely way to feel connected, the food is excellent (the kids often eat more there than at home!), the resources and learning is top notch and the space is warm and welcoming. Thank you to the Handprints St Ives team for your genuine care and support over the years!

My son has been at Handprints since he was 8 months old, he’s four now.<br>We’ve had the most wonderful experience. We were new to the area and they welcomed us and made us feel like family.<br><br>Such wonderful educators, they’ve supported us through all our ups and downs - grommets, ST, OT and helped me navigate it - as a single mother.<br>I have the upmost trust in the educators and it has been the most wonderful experience for my son. It’s his second home and we will be so sad when we move on!

Our child has been going to Handprints for over 2 years and it’s been such a good fit for us. The educators are all incredible, genuinely caring and clearly love what they do. Our child has become so independent and chatty, and picking up real life skills along the way. Even plays “daycare educator” at home now, and sings the songs from Jim Jam sessions constantly. Communication is great too - regular photo updates through the day so you always feel in the loop, even from work. Highly recommend Handprints if you’re looking for somewhere your child will actually be excited to go.

We’ve had such a wonderful experience here and are genuinely so sad to be leaving! The whole team has been so warm, kind and caring, and made the transition into daycare so much easier for us as first time parents.<br><br>A huge thank you to Miss Nikki, Miss Jasmin, Miss Aashma, Miss Kayleigh, Miss Negin, Miss Candace and Miss Alicia for taking such beautiful care of our little one. It’s been so reassuring seeing how happy and comfortable our baby boy has become with everyone, and knowing he was surrounded by people who genuinely cared for him.<br><br>We feel so lucky that our son's first daycare experience has been such a positive one. We’re only moving because another location works better for our family and day to day routine, otherwise we would happily stay! We’ll definitely miss everyone. ❤️

Been sending our daughter here for a bit less than a year and its been great. Fun staff, very caring and she is happy at the end of the day. The center is able to listen to our needs and cater for them wherever they can. Couldnt ask for more and happy to recommend this to our friends. I have older boys and some of their class mates have been here as well so we knew it was a recommended place by other parents.

I am endlessly grateful that Handprints St-Ives had availability when I was looking for care for my 12 month old. We have been with them ever since and their expert care and education program has been solid preparation for my little one who will be heading to big school next year. Their support, reliability, communication and regular staffing has ensured security and helped to grow the confidence of my child. The provided food is excellent quality, healthy and expertly prepared in house, and activities reflect the children’s interests as well as topical themes to help children’s awareness and understanding of their world around them. It’s a happy environment and the staff genuinely love their work which is reflected in their programming and happy children. Thank you Handprints! I have no hesitation recommending this lovely childcare provider and urge any interested parents to take a tour!

We absolutely love Handprints St Ives. We have trusted them with both of our kids and have always felt so supported.<br><br>We get a wonderful mix of play and creative activities that we could never have managed at home. They experience positive social interactions and, most importantly, they are surrounded by loving hands to help, cuddle, console, guide, develop and cheer them on.<br><br>The leadership team is capable, trustworthy and makes IMHO thoughtful decisions about staffing, atmosphere, and problem solving, which makes morning dropoffs so much easier.

Honestly this centre feels like a second home for me. The educators really care for each child as if the children were their own. They are so dedicated in meeting all of the children’s individual needs during the day. I know when I drop my daughter off that she is going to be safe and cared for so beautifully. I would highly recommend Handprints to anyone who is looking for a small family owned service!

Handprints st ives has the most amazing, warm and nurturing educators who have so much passion for children and early education. My 2 kids both go there and their transition was supported so well. The educators and center manager are excellent with communication to make my kids and I feel at ease. My 2yo calls it her daycare house and both truely enjoy being there. Highly reccommend!
