What families say about us
Myra is always talking highly of her room teachers. And she loves to be handed over to them in the mornings which makes drop off so much easier.
Fig Tree Pocket
All of the staff have made us feel welcoming and at home when we jave visited the service, but also when caring for our son.
They all go above and beyond for us and we are 100% happy with our care from team Richlands.
Richlands
It would be wonderful if activities could be organized to allow both indoor and outdoor options in parallel. Ali has been unwell multiple times (which I understand is common when children start childcare), so going outside every day, especially on cold days, makes it hard for her to fully recover. This has led to a fair amount of absence—likely around half of her time here—which sometimes makes us feel like we're losing out financially. Thankfully, her health has been improving, which is encouraging.

Would be fantastic if you missed a day due to other events (not sick) we had the opportunity to make it up on another day. Without having to pay for another full day

St Ives
We feel absolutely spoilt by the care and service of the team at Guardian Freshwater. Our little girl has been in attendance almost 5 months and we cannot fault one day she has spent there. We are most impressed by the punctuality of the [multiple] daily StoryPark updates, as well as the sincere relationships the women at Guardian Freshwater have established with our girl. We are constantly learning as parents, and the team at Freshwater make our education enjoyable and stress free! The creativity of the daily activities are incredible. We are always so impressed with the variety and effort put in by the carers. The centre manager, Sarah always responds to any enquiries I may have pretty well same day! I feel confident leaving our precious girl in their care and I'm excited to see her blossom in such a nurturing, safe and inspiring environment.
