We have been attending Guppy's since they have opened. Went from white bare walls to a friendly, colourful and welcoming environment. Our little one really enjoys his time here and loves spending time outside. They always have heaps of activities laid out for them each day. And the biggest bonus that the parents get to see daily updates about their little ones' day. All the educators have been great, especially Tracy who spends so much time creating hands on play for the kids.

My son has been at Guppys ever since it opened and he has always enjoyed going there. Since the new manager has taken over it has improved and I feel the change has been for the best. We are happy with the centre and would like to mention the cleanliness of the centre and we have not experienced much sickness from the centre which is something great. The mothers day morning tea was very nice touch also. My son wants to go more often which shows they are doing a great job.
