JOURNEY EARLY LEARNING MILLNER REVIEWS

I feel so comfortable and amazed with my child attending little flyers, it is a very tidy space with educators who constantly strive for the best. They allow great transitions to make both parents and child comfort and have an open door policy. Anytime I’ve needed to speak with someone, I’m always met with quick response and assistance.

I highly recommend little flyers as a place to have your little humans attend. Great workers and my 3yr old loves going everyday and the app to see photos and day to day timeline of your childs movements.

My daughter is loving her daycare experience and me too. All her educators are been great totally recommended to all new parents

MILESTONES EARLY LEARNING WAGAMAN REVIEWS

Our son goes to Wagaman milestones and we absolutely love the centre! The facilities are great with such a beautiful big outdoor area that our son loves to explore. The educators and management are amazing, they are so friendly and caring, it puts us so at ease knowing our son is being so well cared while he is there. We will shortly be sending our youngest there and know that the transition into care will be easy and stress-free.

We absolutely love Milestones Wagaman for our little girl! She has been at the centre for about a year and a half and absolutely loves it! She had the smoothest start to care in the babies room and this has continued as she transitioned to the toddlers. All of the educators are fantastic and deeply care for the children providing high quality care and engaging learning experiences. I love hearing all the educators saying good morning or goodbye to her even when they are not the educators in her room. We highly recommend Milestones Wagaman.

We are having a great experience at Milestones Wagaman. My son goes to the centre since he was 5 months and we can't speak highly enough of the caring staff. My son love to go and he always very happy. The staff goes above and beyond to ensure he feel comfortable and having lots of fun. My son loves the outdoor area with natural spaces. We are so grateful for the warm and nurturing environment provided by the team at Milestones Wagaman.

GOODSTART EARLY LEARNING DARWIN AIRPORT REVIEWS

My child has attended Darwin Goodstart since he was 6 months old. We have loved our time here and intend to have our second born son attend as soon as we can. They update the resources often, children always seem happy and engaged and provide everything we need from nappies to food for the day. They operate a play based program and utilize the areas around the for excursions like bush walking, connecting to country and other various excursions! Overall we love it :)

Our son has attended this centre since he was 1.5 years (now 3). The educators are so caring and tuned in to his needs. The centre has lovely outdoor play areas and a range of play options which have suited our child.

My Son loves going there every day, the staff are lovely. They really make you feel welcome and your child is well looked after. Highly recommend.
