Having enrolled our children at a number of childcare/ kindergartens over the years, my wife and I have found Friendship Square to be by far the best centre for our children. As an industry, staff turnover can be a challenge, however we have found that the staff at Friendship Square (many who have been there for years) go above and beyond for our children - making them feel safe and secure in their environment. We often chat to the staff at drop off and pick up and you can tell they really care about your children. The kinder program is excellent and sets the children up really nicely heading into school. Our children have needed extra support at times and the staff have done a great job at actively supporting their development. Having an onsite cook is also a huge point of difference - the children receive healthy nutritious home made meals unlike other centres where we felt salty snags were being served up several times a week.

Our 2 children have been so well cared for and understood at this centre. The small rooms means that educators know us and our kids extremely well. The educators and staff genuinely care about and take the time to listen to what we want for them too. Our 2 year old and 5 year old can play together during the day if they want to, which they love. They’re so happy there and it’s been one of the most positive experiences raising our babies so far. Read more

Friendship Square Child care & Kindergarten is an absolute gem of the Cheltenham community. My family has had three children go through the center (two of which are now in primary school) and can honestly say that the staff are the most caring and thoughtful individuals in terms of how they care/d for our children. The food provided on a daily basis is of the highest quality, the fees are reasonable (due to well managed costs) and the quality of early childhood education is high. Both my eldest two thoroughly enjoyed their time at FS and have so far become very well rounded, caring, confident girls which I attest a huge portion of this to the education they were provided at FS. There is a great balance between play & learn. The kids get the chance to go offsite to bush kinder, lots of water play and many other activities where each day is different. Our third is currently in the centre and loves the time he spends there. Couldn’t recommend this centre enough! Read more
