Katelin Blyton

We have loved Artemis so much. From the day we went in for a tour to my Son going there every interaction has been positive. The carers are wonderful and very responsive which is exactly what we were looking for. They are adaptable in the way that they do what the individual child needs and don’t try to fit children into a box of how things have to be done. We are so grateful for Artemis and there lovely staff especially Felicity and Kylie. Thank you Artemis!

Jess Cooper

Artemis Early Learning Center is amazing! My self and my son absolutely adore Mehak, Sophie, Milly, Param, Arsh and all rest of the fantastic team at Artemis. Everyone makes you and your child safe and loved everyday. We love Artemis Early Learning!

Tessa Kelton

This is definitely the village you want to help raise your child! I cannot recommend Artemis ELC highly enough. By the time my son, 3, had finished his orientation hours he was already known and welcomed by all the staff and children. His first full day 3 children came over to him, took him by the hand, to go and play together. All of the children are engaged, friendly and confident. I have cried many happy tears watching my son be celebrated and encouraged to be himself. I cannot thank the staff enough for fully embracing my child.

Grace Smith

This is my daughters first year at Artemis Early Learning and the experience I have had has been outstanding. Not only the room leader in nursery 3 but all educators have been so great to deal with. I can tell everyday my daughter comes home so happy after having such an enjoyable day with them all. Fantastic service and level of education. Would recommend to all.

Leisa Townsend

All the staff at Artemis are very welcoming, trustworthy and friendly. Both my children are extremely happy and have built wonderful relationships with their educators. The updates and communication from the centre and staff are of the utmost standard. Highly recommend 🙂

Goodstart Early Learning Child Care Centre in Braddon, situated just two kilometers north of Canberra’s CBD, offers a peaceful setting with convenient access to nearby amenities, including parks, cafes, shops, and the City Centre Mall, with Floriade just a few blocks away.

Jil Hogan

As a first-time mum, I was so incredibly nervous about daycare, and I‘m so happy I sent my bub to Goodstart Braddon. The team could not have been more patient, kind and understanding through the whole process. The educators are so dedicated to the kids and helping them grow and develop, and you can tell they really love what they do. They also work hard to keep the babies to their own schedule - they don’t try and force them into a collective schedule. The centre manager really goes above the call of duty all the time, and the centre has a really beautiful community feel. Bub loves going to daycare!

Jessica Steele

Absolutely wonderful and caring staff, lovely and clean centre with a great play space indoors and outdoors for the kids and excellent and constant communication/updates from the Centre. The staff provide so many wonderful, fun and educational activities for the kids on a daily basis. Could not ask for a better day care/early learning centre for our little one.

Shan Corrigan

My children have bloomed and blossomed here at Goodstart Braddon. They genuinely love and care for the kids and go above and beyond to celebrate all cultures and people. My kids love going. Never any sad goodbyes ☺️

Karly Keogh Daly

An excellent centre. We have been so happy with the care our child receives. The centre is very well run, communication is excellent, and the educators are first class. I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for childcare in the city area.

Giada Peloso

My daughter really loves coming to the centre and all the educators are always joyful and run the extra mile to ensure every day is not the same at the centre. Thank you for looking after us so well !

They engage with families and really promote a community feel to the place. We love the wide range of activities and how the eductors include the families and keep them up to date on plans. Our toddler is learning something new every day - would recommend!

Jody Leibick

An amazing centre with amazing educators. We were nervous to start our childcare journey but Hayley, Caitlin and their wonderful team of educators have made the transition so easy. Our daughter now jumps out of our arms to give her educators cuddles during our drop offs, a sentiment on just how nurturing and positive their relationships are with the children. The environments are set up in a beautiful way and the educational programs are planned to support childrens learning no matter what stage they are at, our little girl has hit most of her milestones early with the help of the Allara street team. Highly reccommend this service to anyone who wants to start their childcare journey in a safe, welcoming and homely centre.

Sandra Refuerzo

My son absolutely enjoys coming in to the centre each week and is thriving from the various play based activities they have each day! 😀❤️ Could not commend this centre highly enough to other families who are looking to start their little one’s journey to education!

Mark Beaumont

Guardian Allara is an excellent daycare. Modern and with the highest level of accreditation, they have provided excellent care for our little one from the time she was 9 months old. Very well run with competent and caring educators.

Kirsten Khan

A very supportive environment for little ones to flourish. We love the educators, the environment, the activities and the support we receive. Communication is excellent and our little is thriving. Thank you! Can't think of a better place for our little one to be exploring and learning!

Kelly Gurn

We have been part of Treehouse for 7 years now and couldn't be happier with the care, professionalism, skill and amazing carers. When my oldest two started preschool, it was evident that they had learnt so much from their early years at Treehouse. The staff know every child's name, there are activities and experiences across the centre which engage all ages and there is a beautiful sense of community. Our family feels incredibly lucky to have found Treehouse.

Zoe T

Treehouse is a wonderful centre with a warm and welcoming feel. The amazing, caring educators identify each individual child’s needs and nurture and support them in their development. Our daughter is very happy there, and it makes our work lives so much easier to know that she is spending her time away from us somewhere that she loves!

Elizabeth Gladwin

We felt welcomed immediately upon turning up to Treehouse, shortly after arriving back in Canberra, six years ago. Since then, our sons have been loved and nurtured by the staff who have been key to them becoming the confident, happy and inquiring young people they are; ready for school and the next stages of their lives. We have particularly enjoyed the child-led activities, the opportunities for our children to express their voices and to engage with risk. The commitment of the educators has been exceptional.

Jonathan Gouy

Treehouse has been amazing for our two girls. Kids spend most of their days outside engaging in free play - from mudcakes, to trees, to reading books, painting, building, gardening, yoga and dancing. They come home happy and often dirty from their fun day of play. The educators are incredibly committed and adjust activities to the children - no day is the same. Equipment is natural and new inside.

Amelia Lacey

We have been part of the Treehouse family for many years now... two of our children are Treehouse graduates with one currently, and one soon to be, in care. All of the staff are caring, professional and efficient. I feel very comfortable with the centre and its practices. Highly recommend.

I have been working as an early childhood educator for many years. I started working at Abacus from September and found it absolutely amazing. Even though it has been challenging with national workforce crisis for the last few months, our team members have been doing their best to provide high quality education and care. I am really glad that I can work with these professional and genuine educators at Abacus.

Ema

We were very happy with this childcare. The carers were very attentive and patient and worked with us to help get our child settled into his first childcare experience. They were also great at trying to maintain the same schedule as at home. My son was able to have a lot of fun and varied experiences through the excursions, incursions and activities on offer at Abacus.

Joanne Ventura

The staff here, All have a beautiful soul. The Dedication to each individual child is a blessing. Would I send my children, grandchildren here, YES and without hesitation.

Monica and her team at Papilio Barton are incredible! Our 6 month old attends and the transition was easy. Any questions we’ve had have been answered quickly and fully. We get great regular updates so feel involved in his daily activities. Awesome support for breastfed babies and mothers, and great community presence on the centres app.

Completely amazing. Our 16 month old started at Papilio Barton at the end of 2021 and we couldn't be happier. The educators and centre director are incredible and genuinely caring and our baby loves his daycare days. They consistently keep you informed and proactive seek feedback to continually improve. Would highly recommend this centre.

Arsalan Qazi

We moved to Kingston from Wollongong and looked at a few day care centres but found Papilio in Barton to be the best one and my son loves to be there. Educators are always welcoming and very informative about your child's daily activities. Monica and her team is great. They have alot of activities for your child's development and growth. My son is learning alot every day in their care. Highly recommended. Thank you Papilio Barton for exceptional day care.

Sarah Calautti

We have recommended Papilio Barton to a few friends. Our daughter loves going there. The educators go above and beyond. They alway seem to be doing fun activities with the kids. They have a lovely outdoor play area where all the kids can play together. The centre manager and all the educators know my daughter's name and say goodbye to her at the end of the day. All food is prepared by an on-site chef who made a cake for my daughter on her birthday. It's really a lovely centre.

We felt very confident leaving our crawling baby in the nursery here. All age groups are very well looked after and kids come from all different backgrounds. Great director, great staff, great committee. And my son is even putting things away when he comes home!

Scott East

RECC staff have been amazing with my 20-month-old daughter. She started in the nursery room and has now graduated to Tiny Tots. She gets so exited pulling up in the carpark and is always telling me about her day and talking about her friends and teachers on our drive home. She has started recognising colours and counting to 10 recently—all of which she learned at RECC. I can’t speak highly enough of the fabulous staff and facilities at this centre. The playground is well equipped and the educators really take the time to create fun and engaging activities for the children. Give them a try—you won’t be disappointed.

Ilnaz R

An excellent centre. Community feel. Very little staff turnover, they are attentive and caring, never frazzled, good ratios too. Large outdoor playground, not cramped like some other places.

Aiden Clock

Absolutely love this daycare. The facilities are wonderful and spacious with lots of options for the kids to expand their experiences and participate in activities. I really the considered and themed program that engages the kids at their level of understanding. They were welcoming when my son started at the centre and they have been great as he goes through his milestone development.

Sarah Williams

Busy Bees at the Park is a wonderful child care centre. The staff are all friendly, helpful, well trained and genuine, you can tell they take a vested interest in all the children in their care. As a first time mum, I was very apprehensive about placing our baby girl in day care. However, our 6 month old loves going to day care at Busy Bees and we always get updated on any events that have happened during the day - good and not so good.The manager follows a full disclosure policy which I personally really appreciate. Fully recommend Busy Bees at the Park.

Chiara Godbee

Our baby girl started at the centre in January when she was 6.5 months old. She is happy to be dropped off every morning and is loved by the staff. She has had an incredible exposure to many different types of solid foods and has progressed physically so quickly.

John Kemp

Came to the centre to enquire about the caring program that was being provided to the kids and was amazed and impressed with the thorough delivery and exemplary attitude towards the job that Maranda displayed! Thank you for taking the time to make sure I was informed of level of care that you provide.

Hayley Baird

I have my now 7 month old here at Go Kindy. The careers are just wonderful, I love knowing she is in good hands. I can't express enough what the girls are like, but when I drop my little one off they treat her just like their own.. Fantastic Daycare.

A fantastic centre full of love, professionalism and fun. We have been blown away with the support and quality of care that we have received from all the wonderful educators at UPCCC. The educators are unbelievably kind and welcoming, which is shown in how quickly the children gravitate to them, highlighting the safe and warm environment UPCCC has created. We have had three children go through the centre from the babies room at 6 months all the way through to the Preschool room. My kids are always excited and happy to go to school. 10/10 Could not commend this centre highly enough to other families who are looking to start their little one’s journey to education!
