The difference in her we saw in only a few short weeks. Guppy’s Thornlands is very much a family feel childcare provider and everything is very personal, previous daycares I’ve experienced, your child is treated more like a number and the staff turnover is very high, so no time to develop relationships. My youngest daughter started this year and her progression has also been amazing to see. The educators are very aware of your child’s limits and also what ways to encourage their learning and growth. Overall I couldn’t praise them enough! Thank you for taking such good care of our babies! Read more
