Provider Reviews

"My children] both love your centre and have always enjoyed coming there… Thank you to all the staff that were kind and helpful when we had the house fire last year only a week or so before Christmas. The food/toy hampers really were greatly appreciated and meant so much to us. I was so down and didn’t want to take the food as we didn’t have a place to live but then Cathy and Lara insisted and put them in the boot of my mums car (we had even lost our car in the fire). Your centre is amazing and I would recommend it to anyone. Thanks so much for the wonderful times my kids have had at your centre.” - Trish Keleher
