We’ve had our son at Little Zacs Jordan Springs for the past two years, starting when he was just 12 months old, and we honestly couldn’t be happier with the experience.<br><br>He’s now almost three, and watching how much he has grown and developed during his time here has been incredible. His communication has come so far — he’s constantly singing now — and we’ve seen such a big change in his confidence around other people and his ability to build friendships. One of the things that matters most to us is knowing that he’s not only learning and developing skills, but also learning how to interact, communicate and build relationships with both adults and other children.<br><br>The staff are fantastic. What really stands out is that it genuinely feels like they know our son. Everyone from the chef and trainees, through to the educators, centre director and the girls at the front desk, knows him by name — and they know our names too. You feel important and like you matter, rather than feeling like just another family or another number.<br><br>Even after two years, the warmth when you walk through the door hasn’t changed. Most days our son happily leaves us and goes straight off to play with an educator, which makes drop-off so much easier as a parent. It’s also lovely when you pick him up and the educators can tell you about his day because they actually know him, rather than having to check notes to remember what he’s been doing.<br><br>The food and nutrition program is another big positive. The meals are varied and interesting, our son always eats plenty, and we love that he is constantly being encouraged to try new things. The activities and toys are also regularly rotated and seem to be genuinely driven by the children’s interests, rather than just following the same routine day after day.<br><br>The community events and fundraisers are another great touch. They keep families involved and help create that feeling that the centre is part of the wider community, rather than simply somewhere you drop your child off. The end-of-year celebrations are always something we look forward to as well.<br><br>We’ve tried a number of childcare centres across the local area, and Little Zacs Jordan Springs has really stood out for us. We’ve never had an issue with communication and have always found the staff approachable, attentive and genuinely caring.<br><br>For us, it really comes down to one thing: our son is happy, confident, learning and forming great relationships, and we feel like the people caring for him genuinely know and care about him. That’s exactly what we want from a childcare centre, and we’re very grateful to the whole Little Zacs Jordan Springs team.
