This centre has been amazing with my daughter! She started at 5 months old and is now thriving there as a toddler. They have provided amazing care and great reassurance for me as being a first time mum sending my child to daycare. Everyone has such a lovely, positive attitude and it makes me feel great knowing that my child loves going there and spending time with her favourite educators!

Sarah Durran

This centre is absolutely fantastic. My daughter has been attending since she was 12 months old and has thrived. The centre is clean, safe, has large outdoor areas (separated for different rooms) and I feel 100% confident in the staff taking care of and educating my daughter. A very special mention to Ange, Caitlyn, Mansy and Shania who my daughter has really bonded with.

Tiffany Rose

Always accomodating. Very clean. My child is treated like a individual, I feel like the educators really take there job seriously and have lots of passion, patience and respect for all children. Would highly recommend. Thank you for always being there for my child and myself.

My 2 Children have attended here for several years, the staff are very welcoming to my children and me. When I pick them up, they are happy and engaged in some kind of play or activity.

Mel Kenyon

This centre has been amazing with my son always compassionate and always go the extra mile to make sure parents know the child has settled in well. I love getting updates throughout the day. Also have been amazing with my son having allergies and they always make sure he has food that looks similar or cater for him so he doesn't think he's missing out.

One World for Children was a breath of fresh air for an anxious first time mum who was dreading sending her bub to daycare. From the second we arrived to now we have been treated with nothing but kindness and compassion. Every single staff member smiles and greets you when ever you walk in, and the kindness shown to my daughter as she transitions into daycare routine has been amazing. I cannot recommend this centre highly enough.

Jade Mariee

Amazing childcare centre! Always going above and beyond for our kids, with great communication to us as parents and very tentative. Always doing as we ask and helping guide us with things we get stuck on. They strive to achieve the absolute best for the next generation! Couldn't recommend them enough

Reanne Norrish

Over the past 6 years I’ve sent both my children to this beautiful centre for OSHC and then daycare/kinder. The staff here are like family to us. They provide a wonderful play based experience for kids, plenty of extra support and care when it’s needed and the communication surrounding their learning goals is always fantastic! I’ll be one sad Mumma when my littlest heads off to school next year!

Tiffany Gambrell

I’ve always loved one world from the moment I stepped inside! I love that they do family rooms so siblings can play together! Staff are amazing and so friendly caring and kind and I couldn’t recommend a better centre!

Stephen Evans

Kids world is WONDERFUL! I had a hard time finding a centre that was suitable for my daughter and after trialling several other daycare centres I heard about Kids World through a family friend, my daughter settled in quickly and is now flourishing at Kids World. She loves the excursions, her friends, the educators and staff (who are all very welcoming and friendly) She has even asked me if she can stay for 5 more minutes at home time! I couldn’t recommend Kids World enough. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

taylor Riddoch

From the director too the girls in the office all the way into the educators in the rooms Kids World has changed mine and my daughters view on daycare, we both absolutely love everyone at the centre and are so happy we’ve transferred over. I can’t wait to see what 3yr old kinder is like because from the amount of growth, confidence and happiness my little girl has shown I’m sure there’s going to be so much more to come ❤️

Emma Thomas

Easily the best childcare centre in Geelong. The owners are absolutely wonderful people with so much care and compassion to everyone that walks into their centre, have your best interests at heart and make you feel comfortable and welcomed from the very first foot you step through the door. The educators that I've had the pleasure of meeting have all been the same and I know that my child/ren are in amazing hands when I drop them off. Happy children + a happy workplace and owners/educators = a very HAPPY Mum!

Shakyra Young

AMAZING. This centre should be an example to all childcare. Friendly, family orientated centre like its own little community . I have reccomended it to all my friends and family because they are that lovely. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT.

Absolutely amazing centre! It's an extended family not just a centre My boys love it, even though my oldest boy is in grade 1 he loves going to see all the fabulous staff when we pick up his brother.

I could go on for days but I'll finish with I'd give them15 out of 5 stars if I could😍

5 stars isn’t enough for this excellent childcare center. Since day 1, Alphabet preschool have always gone far beyond teaching and caring for children. More than a center, it is a family, where communication and wellbeing are key. Shout out to an amazing team of educators, administrative, kitchen staff and owners! We really appreciate the effort, care and high standards, and would highly recommend the center to any parent.

My 1 year old baby girl started in the nursery not long ago and she absolutely loves it! She is always busily playing when I come to pick her up and all the staff in the room and the centre have been amazing! She is always happy to go to the educators either for a cuddle or to start playing! They have managed successfully to help me get her on track with more solids as well!! Thanks to everyone! 😀

Kylie Clark

Our son has been going to Headstart since he was 11 months and it has been lovely to see what a close bond he has formed with so many of the educators and other kids at Headstart. It is such a warm and welcoming environment. He is such a confident and happy little toddler and a big part of that is due to all the care, support and dedication he receives from everyone at Headstart.

Lisa Palich

We relocated our 3 year old daughter which we were very worried about but the team have been amazing in helping her transition and feel welcome. Her educators have been great and we see so much art and craft come home. Shout out the Katerina and Kim. I’ve also got my 10 month old in the center and she loves it, it’s been so good for her socialization after being at home so much with covid restrictions. A HUGE shout out to Alana.

Kristy Lowndes

After relocating we were worried how our little boy would settle in at a new service but it has been such a good transition. The staff are very friendly and welcoming, the classrooms are well resourced and keep him very busy! He loves being outside so the way the team provides an indoor outdoor program means he can choose where he wants to be as if he were at home.

A wonderful daycare that is an extension of our family rather than just a daycare. Have been wonderful and professional the whole way through. The care they have taken with my son is amazing and he loves all his educators and has learnt so much. Always kept in the loop and communication is always two ways. Wonderful place to send your kids.

My son loves going here, has a fantastic relationship with his educators who are amazing, patient and are always keeping us in the loop daily about his development. This day care provides over above service and activities which gives us as fulltime working parents" "money can't buy" peace of mind every single day that he is in the best of care. Worth every cent and more.

Emily Dommel

Could not recommend this place enough. I was very hesitant about going back to work but all the staff made me feel comforted in knowing my daughter was in a safe environment.

Such a homely feeling with wonderful facilities, great alternating menu and fantastic and consistent staffing in rooms who are so attentive and wonderful with the kids. Big shout out to Adriana who honestly goes above and beyond as well Piper, Kristy and Joel who provided exceptional care for our little man who thrived during his time at the centre.

My son has been attending Paisley Park for the past 3 months and it's been a wonderful and nurturing environment for him. All of the educators know him and always tell me what he's been interested in and playing with during the day. I was very anxious about leaving my son for the first time- however its been a very positive experience and we are grateful for the support from all of the staff.

Our sons have been going to the daycare since the renovations earlier this year. The centre has been beautifully renovated and the large outdoor areas are perfect.
