### null review (5/5)

Safe and educated space for your children. Amazing qualified staff, three separate class rooms and a warm homely feeling atmosphere. I have seen first hand the great lengths this facility helps not only the child but the family unit to strive together. Highly recommended!

When we put our children in daycare we presume that they are going to be safe and looked after, but unfortunately this didn't happen in our case. Since October 2018 our son has been beaten up by other kids. We contacted the daycare, and they said that they had a strategy in place to avoid him being hurt again, but this didn't happen. Just this month we received four/five incident reports, and the latest one was the worst by far. He was beaten up by a girl, causing him to have five cuts on his right cheek making the whole side of his face swell (see pictures). This happened in the morning and we were only notified in the afternoon a few minutes before he was dropped off at home. Later on in the day he started having a fever, and we took him to the afterhours where he was prescribed antibiotics. No-one from the daycare contacted us to follow up, or to check in to make sure that he was OK. We tried to contact the person in charge, but there seemed that there was no one available. I was trying not to write a bad review, but they don't seem to care about his well being, and this is just really upsetting.

Our little man loves Chelsea house. Great teachers, great activities and he has grown so much attending this daycare.
