### null review (5/5)

We loved Riverside! Our two children both started in the baby room and moved through the centre. The teachers are all so wonderful - so much care, love and fun!
We loved the environment and endless learning opportunities for the children to be a part of. Our two children built such incredible relationships with their teachers and friends in their time there and miss everyone dearly!
Riverside foster children to be confident and independent, with a passion for curiosity and life long learning.

Riverside Day Care has become a second home for both of our daughters since they were babies, and every drop-off feels like leaving them with extended family. The team there is simply incredible—so caring and devoted to each child's well-being and growth. It's heartwarming to see our girls not only excel academically but also blossom socially and emotionally, thanks to Riverside's nurturing environment and exciting adventures.

We're consistently kept up-to-date about their adventure-filled days, and the team is quick to update us when things haven't gone smoothly. Whether it's a wobbly drop-off or a family challenge, they're always there to keep us informed and supported. Their updates and reassurance mean the world to us, allowing us to focus on our work with peace of mind, knowing our children are in such a safe and fun-filled environment.

In short, Riverside isn't just a daycare—it's an extension of our family. We couldn't be happier with our experience there and wholeheartedly recommend it to any parent without hesitation.

Everyday my daughter looks forward to coming to 'kindy' as she calls it.

Her time in the Weka (baby) room was the best start into ECE we could've asked for. Walking in everyday felt like a warm hug and we knew she was in good hands. She is currently in the kea (toddler room) and is so happy and confident and loves all the experiences like excursions (bike rides, exploring the community,messy play, and challenging obstacle courses to name a few) and is already beginning some beautiful little friendships.
