### null review (5/5)

A beautiful kindergarten with beautiful caregivers :) I had my children here (5 and 2yo) just briefly for 2 months before moving to a different city. They both loved it and had no problems settling in there. Very dedicated, loving staff xx

What a beautiful kindergarten, very natural in its setting and teacher approach.   The teachers are very caring and supportive in their teaching and children have many opportunities to take the lead and direct there own learning.  There is many opportunities for the children to explore a local Bush and discover learning outside of the kindergarten.

I cannot reccomend this kindergarten highly enough. Both of my children have gone there and have loved it. The teachers are wonderful - warm, caring, knowledgable, and the centre itself is an incredible place for children to have fun in that has a large outdoor with a huge sandpit and a mud pit, and a beautiful native Bush a few minutes walk away.
