Hillside
I would love to have an opportunity once in a while to discuss a shared/common goal with the staff about Nicholas' educational progress. Eg, if biannually we could collaboratively pinpoint a special goal for him (and each child) to have on the staff's radar. Eg, I would pick something like encouraging him to participate in more of the creative/crafty experiences. Nothing too academic, but more just an area I notice he doesn't naturally go for unless encouraged in order to encourage pencil:paintbrush grip development etc. In the dragonfly room we would receive specific observations every now and then by one focus teacher but I haven't yet noticed that in the echidna room and have been meaning to ask.

Have had an overall really positive experience at the Thornbury centre since joining at the start of the year.
Thornbury
We're happy at the centre and have been for the past 5 years (including an older sibling to our currently enrolled child). The one challenge we see is frequent turn over of staff - this may not be just this centre but industry wide though.
