Very unprofessional Director who doesn’t like parents who ask questions or raise concerns. Her response is ‘if you don’t like it you can go to another centre’! There wasn’t one week where my child didn’t come home with some illness. In 6 months he had a constant runny nose, fevers from the flu, conjunctivitis, hand foot and mouth, croupe and gastro! Again response to this concern is ‘it’s a day care thing’. Our new centre is fabulous and my child hasn’t been sick once! Read more
Children in group care have increased exposure to other children, play with germ-sharing toys, and their little bodies haven't encountered all germs, so they are more likely to react when exposed to a virus. Unfortunately, this happens as children grow and develop their immune systems. At no stage did we suggest you find another centre. We were, and are, happy to deal with the illnesses and all other concerns raised by our families.
Staff always very helpful and great with my daughter. Very convenient location and fantastic nurturing environment. Staff always very helpful and great with my daughter. Very convenient location and fantastic nurturing environment.
