EXPLORE & DEVELOP CASTLEREAGH STREET REVIEWS

An excellent daycare from the moment we enrolled. The facilities are first rate. The staff are caring and also of the highest quality. The owner Paul is engaging and reactive to any queries. I highly recommend Explore and Develop Daycare to all.

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.

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.

ROUSE HILL PRESCHOOL KINDERGARTEN REVIEWS

Rouse Hill Preschool Kindergarten is a wonderful, nurturing and supportive place and the best decision we ever made for our son's early education. We are so thankful for the amazing educators who have made a significant & positive impact on our son’s development. Honestly, the atmosphere at this preschool is warm, safe, and inviting, making it a perfect environment for children to learn and grow. Thank you, Ms.Rachel, Ms.Kylie, Ms.Jenny & Team for everything you do!

My daughter has been lucky enough to attend Rouse hill Prechool since she was 9 months old and she still skips into the school each day. It has a great vibe, love the open green space, the chickens, the rooms and the staff are just amazing. It’s such a lovely place. My son will be going next year.

Our daughter spent 3 wonderful years at Rouse Hill preschool. It’s a beautiful environment, they have good processes in place (example no outside time when too hot/cold), the educators are experienced and caring and most of all, the one time I had a concern I raised it with the centre and they were really good about addressing it and following through. Would recommend. Thank you Rouse Hill Preschool.

KU MAYBANKE PRESCHOOL REVIEWS

The facilities are excellent, featuring a large tree and plenty of plants that create a natural, inviting atmosphere. The location is very convenient, with parking available right out front for 15 minutes free, making it easy for parents working nearby to pick up and drop off their children. My girl has been thriving at KU Maybanke Preschool and looks forward to school every day. We are very thankful for the dedication of the teachers and staff in creating such a positive and supportive learning environment. I highly recommend KU Preschool to any parent looking for a quality early education experience for their child.

Our daughter has been attending KU Maybanke for four months now and couldn’t be happier. She always looks forward to preschool and talks about it positively. She has made good relationships with the educators who have assisted her in feeling welcome and valued. She gets the cuddles she seeks whilst being encouraged to develop her independence ready for school and beyond. The educators provide a wide range of interesting and educational activities and play opportunities to be explored.

Such a great preschool run by Jessie and her team! My son really enjoys his time at KU. The educators are all genuinely caring and supportive of the children's growth and learning. They have fun and varied activities that give the children a wide range of experiences.
