They cared for our child well, and we were happy during her time there. We resigned from the centre normally, without any issues at all. However, one year later, the management contacted us demanding $574.82, claiming we owed money because WINZ had overpaid them. When we asked for proper evidence, they suddenly changed the amount and reduced it to $287.41. This inconsistency alone raised concerns. What makes this situation unacceptable is that the centre admitted in writing that they failed to inform WINZ when our daughter turned 3,which is fully their responsibility, not the parents. The administrator Maryeta and previous manager Anita were involved in this. Instead of taking responsibility, they pressured us for payment almost a year later and even mentioned their own discount as if that was something parents should repay. This behaviour feels extremely unprofessional and unfair. Again, the teachers and the care were good.this review is specifically about the management and how they handled this situation. We paid all our fees promptly while our daughter was enrolled. For the centre to contact us a year later demanding money for their own error and then change the amount is not acceptable. If any parent wants proof, emails, documents, or their written admission, I am happy to provide it. Parents deserve transparency, consistency, and honesty from management, not this experience. ### null review (5/5) I couldn't have asked for a better daycare, teachers were wonderful at every age and stage. Teachers show genuine care for children and are responsive to children's needs. They endeavour to cultivate children's growth and interests within a caring environment. Communication with the daycare is open and clear. Other children attending were lovely also and played well with each other. It was like my daughter's home away from home. Now that my daughter has started primary school, we still drop by to visit her friends and teachers. I feel this daycare has contributed very positively to my daughter's foundational years. Thank you Lollipops Millennium :-) ### null review (5/5) As a new mother I was told not to trust the big franchises as they do not have a quality of care. After having my child attend 2 different big branded daycares I almost believed them. That’s until I started my son here. Millennium Ellerslie has shown the upmost support and care for my child. He has severe eczema and allergies to wheat and egg and they’ve accommodated his needs and wellbeing without excluding him or singling him out. They’re honest go above and beyond. They’re honest, respectful and caring and my husband and I rave about how pleased we are with this centre. The teachers and staff are amazing and my son always feels welcome and happy when we arrive and leave. Thank you all for your patience and professionalism.
