"I have been working in the Early Childhood Education profession since 1998 and have been a Centre Director since 2003. I love learning alongside the children each and every day, letting the children guide the curriculum rather than being strict on what the need to learn"

Honestly, I have 3 children and we’ve moved and had daycares etc. We put our youngest here and it has been amazing, centre director Mel listens to everything you have to say and in both rooms our girl has been in, has been amazing. I cannot commend the staff here enough. I am so happy beyond belief, they have helped toilet train her, taken her off the dummy and bottles. She was toilet trained from 2 because of the support the staff give ♥️ you ladies are absolutely the best! Keep doing what your doing, us parents see it all xx Read more
