The Waitlist Reality

  • Lovely centre with great staff. They are continually creating new ways to engage with the children and offering fabulous programs for the kids to get involved with. My non eater always tells me all the yummy things she eaten. I feel at ease knowing my daughter will be well looked after, cared for, actually played with and listened to from the educators. Amanda (director) has created a family feel to the centre, she is very approachable and helpful. Miss Becca is fabulous, actually all the staff are just amazing.

  • I'm so happy with my daughters center. I was hesitant going back to work after having my daughter. I enrolled her at 8.5 months old and the girls in Nursery were very warm and asked me all about my daughters routine and what she likes and doesn't like. I checked in every now and again ( first time parent worries) and the girls were fully supportive and had all the information about my daughter day. Amanda the director called me after my daughters first week and asked how I was finding everything and if I needed any additional support which I really appreciated. My daughter is now almost two and she loves coming to school and interacting with her friends and educators. I couldn't be happier. I'd recommend this center to anyone.

  • Flourish Early Learning Centre has been absolutely wonderful for my 2 year old daughter. This is her first experience at daycare and the educators did everything to make her comfortable and settle down. She has been looking forward to going there every week and we are SO happy to see her happy. We really appreciate the hard work everyone has put in during the pandemic and afterwards so that our kids have a safe place to learn and grow.
