Report
Great place and great staff. Well run, and they really care about your kids. Been with them 5 years with two kids and always surprised and impressed with the craft activities they do, never seem to run out of new ideas. They also put on a great Xmas party too! My kids love this place and so do I - my 2yo happily waves me goodbye as soon as she sits down (it wasn't always like this!) We also use a Lady Gowrie childcare (part of work) and this place makes Lady Gowrie (which is a good centre too) sometimes look ordinary. Keep up the great work guys, you really really are a lifesaver for a part-time
