Mother Duck Childcare and Kindergarten Manly 59 Manly Road, Manly West, Queensland 4179

"The educators & management are all fantastic. The centre is always welcoming and our son loves attending Mother Duck Manly."

"I cannot say enough great things about the team at Mother Duck. As a first-time mum, I was nervous about sending my child to daycare, but those nerves were quickly squashed when I met Hannah and her amazing team. I am so glad I found them. From the very beginning, the entire team was warm, welcoming, and caring towards my boy. In the short time that he has been attending Mother Duck, I have watched him flourish and develop so many great skills that I know will benefit him for years to come. I’m continuously impressed by the range of activities they provide that help the children develop in all areas, including social, emotional, cognitive, and physical. The educators at Mother Duck are nothing short of incredible - they are knowledgeable, attentive, and truly care about the children in their care. They communicate with me regularly, keeping me informed about my child's progress and any areas where they are focusing on helping him develop further. I also appreciate the cleanliness and safety of the facility - I can tell that they take the health and wellbeing of the children seriously. Overall, I highly recommend Mother Duck to any parent looking for a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for their child. The experience has been such a positive one for my family, and I am forever grateful for the care and attention he receives each day from this wonderful team."

"We have been with the Mother Duck Manly family for 4 years and will dearly miss the devoted educators and leaders as our daughter commences prep next year. We love Mother Duck as they genuinely cared for our daughters. Their emotional needs were nurtured and they were always encouraged to be confident and involved learners. My eldest daughters passions for the creative arts were acknowledged and encouraged through the program and experiences offered. The communication between the staff and myself was always outstanding. I highly recommend Mother Duck Manly if you are looking for a centre that feels like home."

"A wonderful daycare centre in every way! All the educators are so caring & always actively involved in supervising, playing or teaching the children. They get to know your child and what they need, if they need cuddles straight away at drop off for example. They all have a positive attitude and teach/guide the children in a positive way. Children are taught lots of independence as well. The inside of the centre is lovely, always clean and nice calming decor. A massive outdoor area, perfect for all the children to run around and have fun, with lots of fun play equipment. My son who didn't get to attend this centre always wishes he could stay there! Meals are provided which makes it so easy and it's all healthy yummy choices, lots of fruit and whatever they cook usually smells delicious! This is the third daycare I have experienced and I highly recommend it. My daughter attended for 3 years."

"I’m a community member of the neighboring properties and my husband went into the center for a community related incident and was treated so rudely by the a staff member. Her name was Hannah. We have children and he was made to feel so awful and attacked by her that he came home very upset. He said he would never trust this centre to care for and cater for our children when they employ staff like that and others should be aware of it also. I can’t imagine this to be a safe emotionally nurturing environment when they treat community members and adults like this. If she can’t treat adults with respect and dignity especially when he’s the residence of neighboring properties how can she be trusted to care for children without the supervision of others."
