Our Testimonials

 

My family absolutely love this childcare centre. The staff are warm, kind and caring and have been retained for many years so the children have consistency in their carers. We love that our daughter is assigned one primary carer amongst the class who is our main point of contact and therefore in touch with our daughter's personal development needs. We cannot speak highly enough of Kayla who is so attentive with excellent communication! This centre has a great community vibe and a positive welcoming feel when you walk through the door. We tried a few other private centres before moving to WCCC, while the private centres looked appealing being shiny and new their staff, attitude and environment cannot compete with WCCC. Our daughter hated the other centres and cried everyday going there but from day one she fell in love with WCCC and became excited about going to childcare!

Love, love, love this centre. From day 1 my son has come home happy. At pickup I used to often find him sitting in a staff member's lap, which assured me that if he needed attention during the day, he received it promptly. The staff are all excellent, knowledgeable, friendly and passionate about what they do. I really value the community feel of this centre, and that parents can be on the management committee. And my son loves the food that Roni provides. Couldn't ask for a better place to help develop my child.

My son has attended the Warradale Centre since he was 8 months old and he is now ready to leave for school. He has had incredible years at the centre and it was always encouraged to learn and to be himself. The centre has great educators and I highly recommend it.

Having toured a number of new centres on the area, we chose Warradale CCC for our daughter as it had large open outdoor spaces, specifically designed to suit the needs of each age group. The staff nurture and encourage each child’s social and emotional development through play based learning. Our daughter actively participates in setting the room up for lunch and helps by cleaning her space at the end of her meal. We love that her independence is encouraged and she bring much of this learning home. Quiet and calm routines after lunch allow for children to relax, rest and sleep. We are so glad we found Warradale CCC. Our daughter never puts up a fight to get in the car when she knows we are going to childcare.
