Our relationship started with the centre in 2016 - from the minute we walked through the doors for our orientation we knew it was the perfect centre for our then 9 month old. The centre was impeccable, staff were professional, were willing to answer any question no matter how big or small and had a fantastic learning program. Nearly 4 years later and we are so proud to be part of The Hills Little Learners family. The staff not only treat both of our children as their own but have always gone over and above for them, catering to them at all times. They have shown so much love and care that has

My son attended this daycare for 6 months and by the end 2 teachers were so rude whilst dealing with me through the pandemic. Unprofessional and disrespectful tone whilst talking to me on multiple occasions, there was other lovely staff which I got along with on a daily basis, just when it came to 2 staff members it became an issue, when I ask questions I expect a straight answer as a parent not a beat around the bush response. Asking not only over the phone but In person what I needed for my son to return to school after having a slight temperature, getting the same response both times returned
