We have been lucky enough to attend Little Bouncing Bears since they opened in 2018. We have seen both management and staff work tirelessly to create the warm and loving environment that LBB provides not just its children but also its community. We couldnt recommend this child care more highly to all. We know that when we drop our children off for their day regardless of how they feel at drop off we are leaving them for a day filled with fun and educational activities and loving and friendly staff.

As a working mum with 2 boys and another on the way, our family is so blessed to have found LBB. This centre has such an incredible team of professional and caring educators and management. I have always found the staff at LBB to be flexible and helpful. My eldest son has just completed the Kindergarten program at this centre and is so unbelievably ready to take on Prep this year. I cannot express how thankful I am as a busy working parent for the interest invested in my sons learning and development that was taken throughout his Kindy year. This centre offers a wonderful and safe learning environment
