My daughter has been going to this preschool since she was 11 months old and we absolutely love it! The teachers are so caring, they are amazing at settling new children into the preschool/nursery and keeping the same routine as at home. The kids get amazing outdoor time, enriching messy and water play. Not to mention the excursions out into the community weekly. The centre also provides meals so I know my daughter is getting a yummy healthy morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea everyday. I would recommend this preschool to anyone looking for childcare!

I was surprised to hear Muslim chanting music playing during my visit to the daycare. While I understand and respect cultural and religious diversity, I believe religious content — including chanting or recitation — should be approached with sensitivity in a secular, multi-faith setting, especially when young children are involved.
It would be more appropriate to stick to neutral, inclusive music that reflects a variety of cultures without promoting specific religious practices. I hope the daycare considers how this might make some families feel uncomfortable and works toward a more balanced approach to cultural inclusion.

my son has been in this preschool for one year, he is very happy and settled. We are very satisfied with this preschool and feel it is a safe and caring environment for my son. All the teachers are so kind and patient, my son loves every single teacher.  They always talk to me and let me know how my son is doing for the day. They have lots of activities and outings.  They took accident seriously. I highly recommend to everyone!
