Anahita Family Day Care

We could not be happier with the care Mandana has provided to our youngest daughter over the last two and a half years.... We could not be happier with the care Mandana has provided to our youngest daughter over the last two and a half years. Mandana is passionate about early childhood education and loves the children in her care. The children are cared for in a separate home adjacent to the family house, and have access to amazing facilities. They have a toy room (our daughter loves the recently purchased wooden kitchen), lounge and dining area with a book nook and a separate bedroom with cots. The garage is filled with outdoor toys and the children love to play in the cubby houses and ride the trikes and coupes up and down the large driveway. Our daughter especially likes her weekly excursions to miniQ at Questacon and community playgroup where she often brings home her latest painting or craft. When we arrive in the morning our daughter happily runs to Mandana and makes her way to the toy room. We have never had to worry about tears at drop-offs, and sometimes have to drag her away from afternoon playtime at pick up. Thank you, Mandana! Read more

Mandana (or as my son calls her "Nanna") has looked after our son for the last 18 months, and we couldn't be happier... Mandana (or as my son calls her "Nanna") has looked after our son for the last 18 months, and we couldn't be happier with her. She is extremely caring with all the children that she looks after, and treats each of them like her own. The space she has is fantastic and perfect for kids, including a huge area outside for the children to play, and there is every toy a child could ever want. Our child had a language delay, and Mandana worked closely with our speech pathologist and helped our little guy become a chatterbox. He also has asthma and I felt 100% confident in Mandana enacting his asthma plan if needed (which she did). Her communication with us was amazing, and I loved getting photographs and updates about our son throughout the day. She also organised for the kids to go on excursions and visit local attractions, which he loved! It is very bittersweet leaving Anahita's as while it means that our son has grown up and is ready for "big school", we're going to sorely miss seeing Mandana's smiling face every morning and afternoon :( Read more
