MILESTONES EARLY LEARNING THE LAKES REVIEWS

Our children have attended Milestones the Lakes since the end of January 2024, just after the centre commenced a new management team. The management team has really put in the work when trying to connect with the families, ensuring we are settling into the centre and any and all concerns so far have been met and addressed swiftly from management. The staff have forged wonderful relationships with each of our children, they have listened to our concerns and have really worked along side us to help develop and foster confidence, independence and school readiness for our 4yo especially, but have been excellent in the communication with our 2 younger children also. We have settled in wonderfully, the staff are welcoming and receptive and we are glad to have chosen this centre for our family.

Am so grateful to have found Milestones the lakes, not only did they help by providing care at short notice but my daughter has gained so much from being there since July 2023. Amazing educators, fantastic management honestly couldn’t ask for a better place to send your child. Highly recommended.

We sent our daughter to 2 different daycares in Townsville before finding Milestone The Lakes and we couldn't be happier, she is so much happier and loves going. An early educator is a tough position, and the staff always ensure they make you feel welcome even on their hardest days. Our daughter has blossomed being in the centre and it's a true testament to the staff. They do such a wonderful job, the kids are very lucky.

THURINGOWA WORLD OF LEARNING REVIEWS

I am so grateful for all of my little boy’s educators. The centre is fun and tidy. Most importantly, I know my son is in safe hands when I am away. All of the educators are very friendly, caring, kind and compassionate. Centre Manager, Miss Kerry has always gone above and beyond to make my family feel welcomed and safe. It’s like a second family. My son has grown so much from all the praise and support he is given. The communication between the centre and myself has been thorough and helpful. Thank you to the team.

Love this Centre and the Team, always clean, tasty meals, children have late snacks in late afternoon. The ladies always go the extra mile to make sure children have what they need. Wonderful drop offs.

Very Friendly, understanding and helpful staff. Numeracy, Literacy, Creativity, Self-regulation Skills, Rhythm and Resilience Program & Musicvery bright and open centre.

If you are looking for a daycare in Townsville, do not look any further. Miranda the director is amazing and nothing is ever felt like a problem or too hard basket. The staff are all qualified and amazing with my daughter. I changed my daughter 6 months ago from a different centre with high expectations and they have not disappointed. I can not recommend them enough!

Absolutely love this centre... The staff are very friendly, welcoming and caring with you and your children. The centre is very well maintained and well managed. Some staff having been there over 15 years speaks for itself... Highly recommend this centre!!!

Best daycare in Townsville. The ladies here are amazing and so very kind. The director is also very helpful and is always so friendly and approachable
