Pod Early School 8 Tudor Street, Mount Gravatt, Queensland 4122

"We looked at 6 other centres in the area and 2 in the city, before deciding on a daycare. Pod has exceeded our expectations in all areas. This is a wonderful centre that feels more like a family than a child care. The educators are amazing! We love the relationship that our child has developed with them, and it is not just one educator but all of them that he loves and feels comfortable with. The educators are all warm and its so reassuring to see the kindness and patience they display with the kids. In addition the educators always take the time to stop and have a chat with parents. Lauren and Kate it still amazes me how you remember every student, parent and sibling (who don't even attend the daycare yet) names. You are always so welcoming, and genuine in all your interactions. We feel very lucky and fortunate to have found a daycare that we feel 100% comfortable with and this due to yourselves and all the staff. Thank you for making a safe and loving environment for our kids!"

"We have been at Pod since it opened, transitioning from the Pre-Kindy to Kindy room this year and have only ever had positive exchanges with the educators, in particular Miss Aimee, Miss Jade and Miss Mel. Throughout this time our daughter has formed many strong, healthy friendships with her peers and has so much love and respect for her teachers. This year in particular I have been blown away by the effort and creativity shown by Miss Mel and Miss Jade extending on topics that the children are interested in, including the Beauty Salon, Space, Schools and Birthday Parties I look forward to receiving the daily communication via “Storypark” and am so grateful for the amount of details the educators provide in their posts, filling me in on my child’s day. I have also been really impressed by the activities the children have been working on in preparation for school next year including counting and writing formations and have no doubt that our daughter is School ready, due to her exposure to these learning opportunities. I love that as soon as we enter the Pod Carpark we are greeted by staff, and that when we enter the building every family is given a warm welcome each morning. I also love the cleanliness and professionalism of Pod, and the layout, having a designated area for Meals and the Art Studio. The food always smells delicious and I have enjoyed the addition of the Pod Kitchen Instagram Page this year. Another point of difference offered by Pod is the Nurch rewards program. We signed up this year, and have already received a number of gift vouchers for various stores since them. For me, it is the best centre in the Mt Gravatt area. Highly recommend!"

"We started at Pod this year in the Nursery and could not be happier! We toured many centres and Pod is head and shoulders above. The staff are so genuinely caring and affectionate towards the children - and it shows. The whole team have made the transition of starting care for our son so pleasant. I have always felt good about leaving him in the care of all of the staff. He is so happy when I am there to collect him and I can tell he has had a great day. The attention given to each of the children and their special interest is also really lovely to see. We are very proud to be part of the Pod family!"

"Pod Early school has been nothing but amazing since my boys started there last year! The last 12 months they have grown so much and met lots of new friends. Lauren and Kate are absolutely supportive of families and have always been very approachable. Their kind, gentle nature is what makes the place so welcoming!!! Both ladies know every child’s name and always welcome you with a smile! The staff in the rooms are well educated individuals and the progress my two boys have made in the last year is outstanding! The program they have for babies through to kindy and beyond is wonderful. We are updated daily on what the kids do, constantly have new artwork etc being bought home! Every single staff member deserve praise for the work they do there!"

"Our daughter loves going to Pod. She's made so many new friends there compared to her last kindy. Everyday she comes home with lots of stories about what they did in class. Her bag is always full of new artwork and projects. Thank you to all the staff who work there. You're doing a great job. We have absolutely no concerns about sending our daughter to school next year."
