BRIGHT MINDS ACADEMY SOUTH NOWRA REVIEWS

The care I receive for my 11 month old son is fantastic from the Learners room. They go above and beyond to care for my son and the communication is excellent. He learns so much everyday! What I love as a parent is the sense of friendliness and community I receive from the centre and the staff that work there.

Highly recommend bright minds south Nowra. The staff are incredibly caring and attentive, they create a warm and nurturing environment for all the kids. The daily activities and learning opportunities are fantastic, we can already see our little guys development and growth firsthand in the short time he has been there. Cannot fault anyone, we have complete peace of mind knowing that our little one is in such good hands at Bright minds.

We can not fault bright minds as a centre. I'm a working mum and feel blessed to be able to send my daughter to day care and know she is getting excellent care. The educators treat my daughter like their own and we honestly could not be happier and recommend bright minds to anyone who is seeking care for their child.

GOODSTART EARLY LEARNING SOUTH NOWRA REVIEWS

Goodstart is an incredible childcare centre! My little girl has been going there since she was 10 months old and now she is 3.5years. Every single educator is absolutely beautiful, bright and welcoming, and their Director Kim is just wonderful. Excellent communication, a very warming and family-orientated centre. I have never questioned the trust in leaving my daughter in their care and couldn’t recommend them more! So thankful to all staff, but especially to Kim, Lynette, Lisa, Tiffy, Mel and Cloe. Thank you for the lifelong positive impact you have had on my little girl - she loves every single one of you.

Goodstart South Nowra has an AMAZING tight knit team! They take pride on having the best educators who are like family with a strong bond. Each educators have their own magic to brighten up each kid in the centre. We are always notified of any changes from their director Kim and admin Lynette and they are very prompt. So its not just a childcare centre… it is warm and professional learning institution. Im blessed my little man Harnel got to enjoy and grow with you all. Thanks again to Lisa, Sarah, Chloe, Sophie and everyone else.

My daughter has been attending this daycare since she was 6 months old. It's been 4 years and I couldn't fault them at all. Great communication and so much love and attention given to the children. The staff there are truly amazing.

IMAGINE CHILDCARE AND PRESCHOOL NOWRA REVIEWS

I just wanted to personally give a big thanks to the girls in Junior Kindy for the beautiful care you have given Zac this year. You girls are superstars!! We have have loved you and your care you have given Zac. Of course, so thankful to all the educators who have helped Zac be comfortable and supported while at Imagine. Zac has come such a long way with his development and his social skills, and we owe part of that to you. Thanks to the girls for the lovely thoughtful bag of goodies you sent home with Zac, it was lovely to see all his craft and he was beyond excited to show us all when he got home. We have been truly lucky to have been able to attend Imagine for the past year, and appreciate all the hard work you have done through such a tough and unpredictable year.

Can not rate the staff at Imagine Childcare high enough, leaving your child in the hands of someone else is such a big decision and we are so happy with the care our daughter is given! Such a wonderful centre!

Amazing, friendly staff. We have been an attending family since they opened. Steph the director has done an amazing job.
