The staff are so warm, friendly, and welcoming. It’s clear how much they genuinely care for the children as they are treated with so much love and attention. Our daughter has been attending for the past 6 months and is always so happy to go in each day, and it gives us such a peace of mind knowing she’s in a safe, caring, and nurturing environment. She’s constantly learning new things and being exposed to such a wide range of activities and experiences that support her development. It’s been amazing to see her grow in so many different ways! We also really appreciate the family day events — they’re such a lovely way to connect with the educators and with other families. It helps build a sense of community at the centre. We are so lucky to have found such an amazing centre and would recommend to any parent/s looking for a loving and enriching environment for their child/ren. ### null review (5/5) Highly recommend this daycare! We were lucky enough to have both our children attend Gladstone Park ECC since the beginning of 2023 until our recent move overseas. Both children attended full time (5 days a week), and we have had a lot of exposure to all staff and both children's rooms (under 2's and over 2's). I was always amazed at the level of compassion and care that they showed our children. They would always go out of their way to make sure that the children had a positive experience, that was also aligned to their learning needs. We have had some challenges with our eldest child's speech/language + social skills, however the team were dedicated at supporting him in the most appropriate way and would always provide me feedback and updates on his progress and challenges. The physical set up of the centre is excellent, in the sense that all areas are 'visible' which ensures accountability and child safety - which i'm appreciative of. All teachers that we encountered (which was all, except some relieving teachers) showed consistent kindness and were very approachable. We are devastated to have had to leave Gladstone Park, this is a phenomenal centre where your children will thrive! ### null review (5/5) I couldn’t be happier with my little one’s daycare! The team truly sees each child as an individual and takes the time to understand their unique needs and personalities. They pay close attention to every detail and create such a caring and supportive environment. It’s so reassuring to know my child is surrounded by such lovely, attentive people every day.
