I honestly could not rate Tadpoles more highly. Both of our children have gone there and we have been part of the Tadpoles family for 7 years. And it does feel like they are family. Our kids have been exposed to so much learning, creativity and variety over the years. How they embrace and celebrate  different cultures, events and even each child’s unique interests are a few of the things that makes the place truly special. We have always felt so thankful that all of the wonderful teachers have not only taught our children to become ready for school, but they have helped them become happy and confident kids. The centre is really well run with amazing communication by Cindy. I’m not sure how she does it. Feel so blessed to have been part of the Tadpoles community.

Tadpoles is an amazing centre and we are extremely lucky to have both our children enrolled there. I particularly love how diversity is celebrated at the centre and how much exposure our children get to different cultures. From Tongan to Samoan language week and everything in between! You couldn’t ask for better people to look after your children and the continuity with the teachers is a testament to how much they all love working there and being part of such a loving and happy team. They love your children like their own and are genuinely invested in their learning and development. We are truly blessed to have such wonderful carers helping raise our village. Cindy, the centres owner, should be extremely proud of all that her and her team do daily for our children.

Tadpoles is just the best! My kids have attended tadpoles for the past 4 years- both since they were 1 years old. It is such a nurturing, culturally diverse and inclusive daycare. The teachers work so hard and are so loving, providing a wonderful space for the children to learn. Highly recommend!
