Platypus Junction Croydon

"We are so happy with Platypus, they have made so many changes recently. I actually enjoy dropping off my 20month old because I know he is going to have a great day filled with activites and great food. We are really happy."

"I had high hopes for this centre after reading all of these reviews however I was beyond disappointed. It was clear that standards had dropped since it opened. It was not clean at all my child’s socks were brown after a one hour orientation. There were multiple cases of gastro, my child was coming home & vomiting often. Staff were run off their feet with too many babies and not enough staff so the nursery was chaos. No cuddles at drop off, it was put your baby on the floor, let them cry, leave and watch them be ignored by the staff. At drop offs I would have other people’s baby crawl on me crying and being ignored by staff while my baby was inconsolable. The communication was subpar, once a week maximum, no app, no updates on nappies, food, naps, bottles. We are now at a new centre with a smaller amount of babies and more staff in the room, with an app that gives us updates all day long and staff that our child loves and they love him. I realise now what a good childcare centre looks like and this is definitely not it."

"Sadly I've watched Platypus Junction decline over recent times. Some of the staff are lovely but they have a high staff turnover rate which tells a story including multiple centre directors in just 1 year.. They don't put in that little extra that other places do ie very little in the way of nature play/bush kinder/music program/excursions/incursions etc. Platypus Junction has just been sold to Guardian Education who hopefully will come and put in some improvements so it returns to being a caring centre like it once was."

"I have nothing but nice things to say about Platypus Junction Croydon! They go above and beyond for the care of the children. Everyday we are greeted with smiling, welcoming faces and my son always leaves extremely happy. I can't imagine sending my son to any other Childcare Centre and I honestly can't recommend them enough."

"My son has been attending Platypus Junction Croydon for 4 years now. I am extremely impressed with the staff and the education he has received throughout the years. Nothing is ever too much of an effort and all staff and management have been extremely accommodating. I would definitely recommend this centre to any parent. Thanks for looking after my boy guys!"
