Both my children started from 8 months old and it was such a relief knowing they were going to a centre where the educators always put the children's needs first. The bond between my children and a number of educators is really special and they always look forward going to each day. The wonderful play based program has seen my children grow into kind and curious little people. The physical environment is very warm and has lots of different areas for the children to play in. The food at the centre is also delicious and nutritious which is also very important. The centre is very community focussed and the staff know the families very well and are always friendly and helpful.

Beautiful environment with incredible educators and management. My son joined the Junior room in January and the educators have been so patient and supportive of him (and me!). They take the time to get to know your child, their interests and proactively help them to learn and develop. We love Motherduck Gaythorne 💗 thank you team!

I’ve been apart of the Mother Duck family since 2021and I couldn’t ask for a better centre for my two children. If you are looking for a kindergarten for your older children, I couldn’t recommend them enough. The outdoor area is amazing, with big, open spaces - exactly where kids should be!

We have only positive things to say about this place, the staff are great, it’s always tidy and organised, there’s a huge emphasis on dealing with parents as soon as anything happens big or small, we’ve been to 3 other childcare’s before this and by far eatons hill mother duck is the best

We recently enrolled our little one at Mother Duck Manly, and the entire experience has been nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we walked in, we were met with friendly, welcoming staff who made us feel right at home. Every morning, we’re greeted with warmth, and it’s clear that the team genuinely cares about our daughter—everyone knows her by name, and our transition has been smooth and thoughtful. Our daughter leaves the centre every day feeling happy, supported, and eager to return. It’s wonderful to see how much she enjoys her time there, and it’s a testament to the amazing team at Mother Duck. The centre itself is beautiful, and the education program is top-notch, providing a well-rounded experience for all the little ones. We truly couldn’t recommend Mother Duck Manly enough. The staff, the environment, and the care they provide are all outstanding. Thank you for making our journey so wonderful

Our little one goes to the Infant Studio there. Everyone I’ve dealt with has been so lovely and helpful. They are transparent and communicative so we’ve always felt aware of what’s going on. The little ones look so content. Special mention about Miss Sandra who has been there for over 20 years and still absolutely radiates warmth and care every single day. Bravo!

Qualified staff who are always there for the children. The amount of care, dedication, kindness and enthusiasm from the staff has created such a welcoming atmosphere. It's such a fun atmosphere for young people to learn and grow in. The staff have been there for quite some time too so no constant change in staff creating familiarity for the children to know who will be there each day, creating trusting relationships for the children to be comfortable and confident while at the service. I cannot recommend this centre enough.
