"Do yourself a favour and book your child in to get a place here if you can. My husband and I cannot recommend this school highly enough. Their professionalism makes you question your own and makes you want to strive harder to emulate just how efficiently this business runs. They go above and beyond and never make you question whether you're doing the right thing by leaving your kids there. It is clean, the meals are amazing and the staff are beyond reproach not to mention that the communications between the teachers themselves and the parents is extraordinary. On dropping my daughters off recently I heard a new mother to the centre tell one of the teachers that it was now a pleasant experience when dropping her daughter off in the mornings, as at the previous centre she attended, found that there was so much crying and screaming going on that it was actually distressing to leave her daughter there of a morning, whereas here it, is nice, calm, quiet and the kids are quite happy to be there, obviously feeling extremely welcomed and safe. On talking to another mother, she advised that she'd recently decided to change her daughters schools after going to pick them up one afternoon and walking in to find a roughly 18 month old, hysterical with distress locked away alone in the nursery room. When this mother offered to wait for the teacher so she could attend to and calm the distressed child down was advised very bluntly that there was no need as this child was in time out, leaving her extremely concerned about how her daughters were being looked after when she wasn't around. These are amongst numerous other stories I've heard from other parents. The Director Miss Brooke has been with the owners of the school for close to two decades now which goes to show that the owners Michael & Kristine are committed to hiring only the best and providing an environment that keeps amazing staff like that on for so long with the professional systems and procedures they have in place, that work time and time again in each of the centres they run. If it's peace of mind you want, this is the school to enroll your kids in, if you can that is."
