Nisha and her team are delightful - we love how they happily greet us by name every morning. Nisha is also really helpful everytime I need to find an additional casual care day for my toddler. Toddler 2 teachers (Bec, Phoebe, Ash, Kalie) are very capable educators plus they are great communicators, which really helps me understand how my little one is doing each day. OAC McDowall is like a second home to us. Read more

The staff go out of their way to make me feel comfortable leaving my 11 month old with them. They allowed me unlimited stay and play times in the months leading up to commencement, they are responsive and follow her cues for sleep and eating, and they welcomed her to fall asleep on them and then slowly transitioned to falling asleep in the crib after the first month or so. Their love and care is so genuine. My bub is a timid soul and was hesitant and crying just being in the centre at first. Within the first month of starting part time, then full time, she wasn't crying at drop off and was smiling in so many photos! I can't rave enough about the McDowall campus and staff! Read more
