Caring, attention to detail, positive energy that is what I felt about the center. Fahana as the director always available to chat and assist. All educators in my son’s room find the best way to help him. They always go beyond, individual child plan for a year, great Xmas party with padding zoo, father and mother day celebration, incursion and excursion.

Siddharth Parameswaran

Little kingdom’s teachers took a lot of care getting our daughter accustomed to the potentially traumatic change of moving from home to a care setting. A call out to Ms Claudia, Ms Furbi, Ms Krithika and Ms Ximena and the rest of the broader team, all of whom were so helpful. The centre tries to be very innovative in what they provide the kids.

We checked more than 15 child care centres in Sydney's inner west, inner south, and the CBD. Little Kingdom is at a totally different level. Although the cost is higher than other child care centres, you get a quality of service which makes the additional cost totally worth it. Our child has been going there for 9 months now; he's loving it as much as we do. The staff is wonderful. It's the only child care where I feel my child is in good hands.

Words cannot describe how happy I am that I found LK! My daughter started there at 5 months and I was very anxious about it however the educators have been brilliant - so caring and lovely! The facilities are stunning and the management is amazing too, always trying to accommodate our requests. LK is not the average daycare centre and I recommended it to all my mum friends. My daughter absolutely loves attending and that’s a massive relief. Thank you beautiful team!

Christopher Ma

Little Kingdom at The Rocks is simply outstanding. There is an amazing culture of putting the children first and letting them develop and explore the world in their own unique way. Every single staff member treats each child and their parents like their own family. It’s entirely genuine and comes effortlessly to all the staff. My son has never had a bad day and he always comes home super happy and having thoroughly enjoyed himself. I cannot speak highly enough of the Little Kingdom team!

Megan Turnbull

Wonderful childcare centre! I was so nervous starting my 1 year old in care, and the staff have been caring, kind and supportive through our whole journey. Could not have asked for a better start to care. They do wonderful activities with the children and care for them so well. You can tell they all really love what they do and really build relationships with the kids.

P J

We have had our two kids attend kids club and we couldn't have been happier with the service and care provided. There would be too many carers to thank for their excellent service and genuine care for the kids that attend. Centre management have been equally great and always responsive to any requests we had. An all round wonderful experience even during challenging covid times.

Sarah Tang

My daughter has been in the kids club for more than a month. Although she is too young to express it in words...but I can feel her happiness and confidence every day when I go home! I am so thankful for every teacher from the baby's room!

Julie Shingleton

A gem of a childcare centre, in the heart of the CBD. A haven for multiculturalism, great passionate educators and fantastic facilities. Not to mention the amazing chef who cooks nutritious meals all day long. My son has made great little friends and loves his educators. Would definitely recommend 👌

Lucia Zapata

Being a first time parent I had a lot of fears of leaving my baby in care of other people. The team was so reassuring and helped me through the entire process, always making us feel like we were at home. This childcare centre is amazing in so many ways: facilities, activities but most of all the quality of educators and the empathy with the families.

Five stars all the way! Our experience with this daycare has been nothing short of amazing. From the moment we walked in, we felt like part of a big family. Special thanks to Patt, Lin, and Shaun for their incredible care and dedication to our little one over the past 1.5 years. They created a nurturing environment where our daughter thrived, and we couldn't be more grateful. Sad to say goodbye due to relocation, but we'll cherish the memories forever. Highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a safe, loving, and enriching environment for their child.

Dahlia Dendtler

Our little one spent 4 wonderful years at E&D Castlereagh St centre. After having visited many centres in the CBD prior to E&D, we knew instantly from the first tour we had with Paul, that it was the right place for our son. The team is made up of many dedicated and passionate educators, with many of whom our little one has built strong bonds throughout his time there. Thank you Paul, Linda, Shawn, Patt, Peter and Deana.

Isabela Harvey

We've been enrolled for 2 years and my son really loved it there. Paul is very hands on and the educators are great. My son loves Peter and Pat (at home I have to cut the apple like Peter hahaha). It's a very clean and organised center. Paul always listens and tries to accommodate every requests. We highly recommend it and we will miss being there.

Peter Clark

Highly recommend Paul and his team. A fantastic centre with excellent staff, very attentive and caring and a really varied range of activities available. Our son has loved attending and has really flourished ever since first joining at 9 months until now being 2+ years. They are really strong at helping managing the transition through the different groups and their facilities are brilliant, with both indoor and outdoor areas set up. Also very clean.

Lacy Barron

Our children attended Explore & Develop Castlereagh St for 2 1/2 years and the experience was great. The educators and the staff were professional, caring with our children, and always responsive to questions or changes as our circumstances and needs changed over time. We were always confident that our children were well cared for and the teachers and the centre kept us really up to date with their activities, what's happening in the room and the centre. They were constantly seeking ways to improve the centre and expand the opportunities for the kids, including languages and sport. It's a great centre.

We absolutely love The Learning Sanctuary where our two kids attend. We have known the educators for years and I have never come across such caring and lovely people. It feels like a real family. My kids are so happy to go to daycare and we feel so comfortable and relaxed knowing they will be so well looked after, fed with delicious and nutritious food and learn all the right things. Thank you so much to all the hard working staff, we truly appreciate you looking after our babies!

Paris Fazeli

My son attends The Learning Sanctuary Sydney and in my opinion it's a wonderful daycare. The care, support, kindness and dedication that Sonia and Babita show is beyond amazing and not to mention the activities that they organise and plan every day for the kids is next to none. I love receiving photos and videos of my son during the day. It brightens up my day while I'm at work. Giulia is the centre manager and her level of professionalism along with being understanding makes everything so much easier.

Maya

We love The Learning Sanctuary and all the lovely educators. My sons especially love the outdoor space, Zumba, news time, eating in the kitchen space, and getting to play with kids from other classes during mixed play time. One of my sons currently asks me every morning if he gets to see his educator today… so that’s a good sign!

Lauren Stavroulakis

The staff and team are wonderful at The Learning Sanctuary! Each teacher is nurturing and caring with each of the children and you’re provided constant updates daily of your child’s activities. The facilities are wonderful and it’s a great team under the management of Giulia.

Patricia Tsicalas

A great centre, our daughter thoroughly enjoys her time there. Great educational activities, huge outdoor play area. The teachers and facilities are wonderful. A really caring, fun environment. Highly recommend!

Photos show that daily activities for the children are new and engaging experiences that develop their skills at an age-appropriate level.

Brian Z

My daughter has had a wonderful three months at the Guardian Phillip Centre. The Educators here are brilliant! I wanna say thank you to Shirley, Betty, Chandra and all the teachers for taking care of Ariel, she misses everyone so much! I would highly recommend this childcare centre to my friends and other parents. The team here is very patient, good at communication and has a love heart for the children. I sincerely hope that the Phillip Centre will become better and better!

Sarah

Highly recommend Guardian Phillip Street. The centre's wonderful carers took the time to really get to know our daughter, her routine and her interests. Communication with parents is excellent. Lovely indoor and outdoor spaces. Our daughter very much enjoys her time at the centre and we feel comfortable knowing she is being well cared for in a calm, happy environment.

Mark Tyler

Our daughter has been at this centre for over a year and absolutely loves attending each day. The range and quality of activities that the kids undertake is great and its evident that they are planned around learning and development theory. The carers are wonderful with the kids (and parents) and I can trust that my little one will be well taken care of each day.

Sharon Ohnesorge

We are extremely happy with Guardian Phillip Street and are so happy we chose this centre for our daughter. The educators are calm, capable, creative and kind, and the range of activities offered, and the love and support shown to our daughter has been exemplary.

This is an incredible daycare centre. The educators are warm and welcoming. Both our boys have developed so much under the style of learning. Would 100% recommend this centre.

Cristina Gimeno

Great Centre and amazing people!! The girls there are fantastic, they are very well trained, and look like the children just love them. They really focus on education with a lot of care, respect and values. No doubts of choosing this centre for raising your kids. I am very happy in Lighthouse, and I really recommend it.

Issie Matthews

This is the best centre I could have asked for for my kids! All the educators are so loving and friendly and they go out of the way for the little ones. My two kids are so happy here as it is such a loving and nurturing centre. PS. I believe the review from Gisha is not for this centre but their other location as Hannah is not a director at Kent street.

Wenxuan Chen

Excellent educators and professional director! My son was so happy there! Due to COVID office lock down, have to swap to childcare nearby our house... so sad!

I cannot speak highly enough of Montessori Barangaroo educators, especially Ms Angel, Ms Yulia and Ms Wenny. We are incredibly grateful for the fun, educational and nurturing environment that the team provides. My daughter's happy disposition is a testament to the exceptional care she receives. From the moment we enrolled, we felt confident that our child was in good hands. The staff are warm, approachable and genuinely invested in children's wellbeing. Thank you to the entire team for all that your do.

Claire Patra

The educators and facility are top notch. We had three kids go through montessori academy. We feel like it was family. I would highly recommend it.

Wanfeng Zhou

I am a big believer of early childhood education, because as many studies prove, 80% of a child's brain is developed by age five. I have toured many childcare places and used a few in Australia and the U.S. and I am so glad I found Montessori Barangaroo. My older child graduated here three years ago and now my younger one is here. I can't be happier. I know my kids are not only getting love, feeling happy but more importantly, they are getting stimulated as much as they could. The teachers love what they do.

Yvette McKenzie

My daughter absolutely loves her time here. The teachers are caring and wonderful and the kids do so many activities throughout the day. I know she is being stimulated and that she's learning and having fun. Would highly recommend this centre to all parents.

Hui T

Excellent center with excellent caring staff. It has an inviting learning environment, clean and has a great montessori cirriculum . We toured over a dozen day care facilities in the CBD when we were looking for day for my daughter. Out of all the centers this was the only one my daughter did not cry and cling to me, instead she wandered over to sit on Darinna's lap and to see what all the kids were doing! Highly recommended!

Lam Huynh

My child attended since they were 10months off until they went to school. Many of the staff are longstanding, two of them have been there for over 30 years! They are so incredibly caring and it was so sad when we had to transition to school. They created our 'village' when we didn't have our own. Thank you Magic Pudding team. We miss you!!

xxtiaxx

The person who wrote the one star review couldn’t be more wrong. Magic Pudding childcare is a wonderful home like environment with a culturally diverse mix of caring and loving educators. The children always seem very happy when I go by and from word of mouth- I’ve only heard good things from my friends whose children attend.

Xiwei Xu (Sherry)

My daughter is here since 2 years old. Magic pudding is the best among all the childcares we have used. My daughter likes magic pudding. She is happy and safe. We trust the educaters are doing their best.

Belinda Beck

I went to this childcare as a child from age of 8 months. This is an amazing centre with educators who have been there for more than 20 years. I was appalled at when I saw what had been written as this is a five star childcare centre and for what is out there this is like the Hilton of daycare centres

We have trusted World Tower Childcare for over four years with both our ‘babies’.
