Our two-year-old daughter joined Waratah Cottage in May 2022, following our relocation from the UK and my return to full-time work. We chose Waratah because of its outstanding reputation. We have not been let down. From the outset Daniel, Tania, and the Waratah team were nothing but welcoming, informative, and flexible. My husband and I spent some of the first few weeks with our daughter at Waratah, thereby affording her a more gentle transition into a daycare setting. We saw first-hand the care, kindness, and dedication of all staff. We noticed the thought put into the healthy meals and the variety of activities on offer. The philosophy of learning through play—allowing the children to explore their environment and to build their confidence—very much resonated with us. After only a few weeks, our daughter is very much part of the community and waves us goodbye each day with a smile on her face. An outstanding addition to the childcare offering at Macquarie University's Wallumatagal campus! Read more
