I absolutely love secret garden! Amazing environment and incredible teachers. They're all so supportive and they treat us like family. My son is so well looked after there, it's his home away from home and he loves going there every day! 😀

Secret Garden is the only place I would 200% trust for my bub. Leaving my 6th month old to resume work was a predicament for me. I went around other ECE's in the area but wasn't very convinced. However, went to SG and signed up straight away. The staff are unbelievably natural with kids and work along side parents for best outcomes for your child. The teachers are so forthcoming and they almost hand- held me through the period where my baby did not take the bottle. It is a free range environment that encourages kids to be kids, with no screens in sight. There is a massive play area that houses pet rabbits etc. They make you feel at home.  I truly recommend Secret Garden for any parent, facing that difficult decision of leaving your precious one in a new environment.

I recommend this day care. It has a great out door area for kids to run around or bike. The baby room and pre-school room are connected and they share time and learning together. This was awesome as I had children in each room so they settled in really well. They also have a maximum of 10 babies and 40 pre-schoolers.The centre is clean and tidy. They change their toys and environment around often for the children to experience new activities and things. The teachers are highly qualified and do lots of activities with the children including going on trips and out to explore the community.The teachers are very friendly and have made our family a part of the centre. My sons love and loved going to daycare. They have an awesome cook who makes yummy healthy meals which takes the hassle of sorting lunch boxes.
