We moved our child to this centre after a bad experience with a previous centre at the recommendation of a friend. Since being enrolled, we have had nothing but good experiences. The staff communication is spectacular, they are amazing with the children and consistently go above and beyond to ensure that all children feel included. We find peace knowing that our child always comes home with something new learned and a fun story to tell.A special shoutout to Miss Thi and Miss Iffy - we cannot thank you enough for everything you guys do.

All staff members have consistently been kind, caring and understanding. The management have been accomodating with my alternative safe food requests and attentive when communicating any concerns regarding my childs needs. I also appreciate how passionate the chef is about feeding fussy eaters healthy food and there approach to achieve this. They all work well as a team to support eachother. On a number of occasions I've phone in to the centre to see how my childs doing,mainly when i feel they've been unsettled from the morning, each time ive been made to feel welcomed to do so ,which has helped put me at ease. I like the set up inside and especially how well sheltered the outdoor area is. My sons a barefoot child who likes running, the grounds are safe and the turf makes it enjoyable for him to so. Great facilities all-round and space to keep them.engaged. Most importantly it feels great knowing they're in good hands when i drop them off.

My son learnt how to go to toilet within a month and he's so happy and proud of himself and happy to go to school everyday even though he is anxious leaving parents at the drop off and he's settling in better and better each day, I believe it won't be easy without all the educators help.
