Some great educators although the culture from the top down is not positive. Led by Loveleen, our child failed to get much support. Educators child who attended hitting and biting students, although no support from the centre. The safety of the child is secondary, the income lines primary. A much much happier child at another centre. Read more

Most of the staff I had met when we first started 5yrs ago were amazing, Interested in the kids and their job, friendly and welcoming - since then they had a lot of staff leave, new management (twice) and I feel as tho when covid happened a lot of the staff kind of just gave up or made no effort - this centre was once fantastic don't get me wrong they still have some amazing staff there, but it is very limited who is still there. I did raise my concerns a few times and I believe I gave the centre a fair chance but I did decide I had to move on. I believe this centre will be great again they just need the staff, management and to rebuild. due to pricing increases and other circumstances I did have to cease all my kids care from this centre - Thank you Derrimut for all your help over the years and I wish you guys the very best Read more
