### null review (5/5)

We are so grateful to have our child at The Village Co. From the very first day, the teachers have been welcoming, kind, and genuinely invested in our daughters growth and wellbeing. The environment feels calm, safe, and nurturing, with plenty of opportunities for play, discovery, and learning.

The teachers really take the time to get to know each child and their family, which makes us feel part of a wider community. Communication is excellent – we’re always updated on our child’s progress and daily experiences, and it’s clear that the team values both the little milestones and the big developmental steps.

What stands out most is the passion and care the teaching team brings each day. They create such a positive atmosphere where children are encouraged to explore, be curious, and develop confidence in themselves.

We couldn’t be happier with our decision to choose The Village Co, and we highly recommend it to other families in the Beachlands community.

Small Fries has been the most amazing Centre for our little girl. She started there when they first opened and she has absolutely thrived under their care. The teachers are so nurturing and caring, and the resources are phenomenal.
We couldn’t have asked for anything more - it truly is a very special place and I recommend it to everybody I know.

Lovely small, friendly centre. Very happy with the education and care my 2 children have received there over the last 2.5 years - when it was small fries and now the village.
