We have recently moved our son to Vic Park Play and Learn and we couldn’t be happier with our experience at this daycare so far. From the moment we walked through the doors, we were welcomed into such a beautiful, warm, and thoughtfully designed centre. The environment is clean, inviting, and full of engaging spaces that encourage children to explore, play, and learn. The educators are absolutely wonderful. They are kind, caring, patient, and genuinely invested in each child’s wellbeing and development. It’s so reassuring to know our son is surrounded by people who truly care for him and celebrate his achievements. The communication with families is excellent, and it’s lovely receiving updates and seeing all the wonderful things he’s been doing throughout the day. We are so grateful to have found such an incredible daycare. Thank you to all of the amazing educators for creating such a nurturing, fun, and enriching environment for our boy. We highly recommend this centre to any family that may be looking.

We recently moved my son to Play & Learn and could not be happier. He has settled in so well, loves the educators and his new little friends.<br><br>The centre is very clean, well maintained and has so many fabulous open-ended toys for the kids to play with. All of the educators are friendly and caring, Ros the owner is great and very attentive and even hand-made my son a blanket for his naps as part of our welcome pack - such a sweet gesture.<br><br>We live in the area so Play & Learn was a great logistical choice for us, but the centre is so much more than that and our experience has been so positive in the few short weeks we've been there.<br><br>If you're looking for a centre that feels homey and welcoming, Play & Learn is for you.

My daughter attends the Kindy room and the vacation care program, and we couldn't be happier with our experience.<br><br>She lights up whenever she knows it's a daycare day and genuinely loves going. She has formed such strong bonds with the wonderful educators and has made so many friends.<br><br>The team has also been incredibly accommodating of her fussy eating habits, and we really appreciate the care and understanding they show her.<br><br>Thank you to the entire Play & Learn team for making our daycare experience such a positive one. We truly appreciate everything you do.

As a parent, leaving your child in someone else’s care is never easy. But from the moment my daughter started here, all my worries disappeared.<br><br>Enrolling her at this daycare has been one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. I leave for work every day knowing she is safe, loved, and genuinely cared for. That peace of mind is something every parent hopes for, and I am so grateful to have found it here.<br><br>My daughter absolutely loves coming to daycare. She wakes up excited to go every morning, and when I pick her up, she always has the biggest smile on her face and so many happy stories to tell. Seeing her so happy tells me everything I need to know.<br><br>The educators treat every child with so much kindness, patience, and love. They have created a warm, welcoming environment where children feel secure, encouraged, and free to learn and grow. Since starting here, I’ve seen my daughter become more confident, independent, and social, and I know that’s because of the incredible support she receives every day.<br><br>Thank you from the bottom of my heart to the entire team. Your hard work, compassion, and dedication never go unnoticed. You are making such a positive difference in children’s lives, and our family will always be grateful for everything you have done for our daughter.<br><br>I wholeheartedly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a place where their child will be loved, nurtured, and truly feel at home.

We couldn’t be happier with the care and support provided by this childcare centre. The staff are warm, professional and genuinely caring. Communication has been fantastic, the environment is always clean and welcoming. It gives us great peace of mind knowing they are in a safe environment where we are well communicated to and the kids enjoy attending. We highly recommend this childcare centre to any families looking for quality care for their children.

We had a very positive experience previously when Kareen was at the service. However, following changes in ownership and management, our child’s needs were consistently unmet. Below is a summary of our experiences under the new management: - The owner referred to our one-year-old as an “angry baby,” including in his presence. This was inappropriate. At this age, behaviour is communication, and seeking comfort is developmentally normal. - Staff were directed to limit holding and comforting our child. His need for reassurance was instead framed negatively, reinforcing the “angry” label when he became upset. - We received unsolicited and directive parenting advice, including being told our child is “spoiled.” On one occasion, he was reprimanded while in my arms. This felt undermining and was not consistent with a respectful, family-centred approach. - Our child was reportedly unsettled for 40–45 minutes without any contact with us, despite being tired and hungry. His last nap was unknown, he missed sleep, and there was hesitation to feed him in case it would ruin dinner, rather than consulting us. We would always prefer he is fed when hungry. - He came home with scratches on his face, with no explanation provided and no incident report completed. Since moving to a new centre, he has been thriving and finishing his days happy and settled. The difference in approach, with a focus on responsiveness and encouragement, has been very noticeable. Overall, this experience did not reflect the level of care, communication, or understanding of early childhood development that we expected. We hope the centre reflects on aligning its practices with children’s emotional and developmental needs.

I recently put my son into play and learn and I highly recommend this centre. From the moment of enquiring until collecting him, I felt so at ease and comfortable that my son was safe and cared for. Kareen, the director made the enrolment process seamless and from the moment we walked into the door we felt like family.

Absolutely Love Victoria Park Play and Learn. Being a Family run/managed daycare means the best care, this is their pride and Joy. Only the best staff employed to care for the kids. Its also such a beautiful and clean centre, My little girl loves her time here. If your looking for care in the area, look no further and book yourself a tour to see for yourself.

Beautifully presented, very clean and well-resourced centre. It feels safe, welcoming, and community-focused from the moment you walk in. The owner-operator’s passion shines through, creating a place children want to come to. Strong focus on safety, wellbeing, and genuine care gives families real peace of mind. Highly recommend!
