★★★★★“Red Apple is the best childcare. Our daughter has been attending for the last few months since she was one, and she's thriving! She (and us!) loves the educators, the play areas, all the singing and clapping... she goes into her room without even looking back! We couldn't be happier. The staff are great, always made us feel reassured, and she seems to love the food too. We love how connected to the community they are, and every educator and support staff are very kind. Thanks Red Apple for making this (sometimes haunting) experience such an easy journey! We are excited for all the future things she's gonna learn and live in the centre.”

★★★★★“My daughter has been at Red Apple for almost 3 years and has loved it since the day she started. The staff genuinely care for the children and build lasting relationships with them. There has been little to no staff turnover in the time we’ve been there which is wonderful for the children, my daughter has become attached to so many of the educators. There are plenty of activities at the centre, the children are always laughing and enjoying themselves when we are there. They also have an in-house cook so the children get fresh, healthy meals every day. We have already enrolled our son to join once I go back to work - it’s so comforting to know he will have the same two amazing educators our daughter had when she first started. We are so grateful we found Red Apple.”

★★★★★“Very happy with the level of care my children receive at Red Apple. Having moved from another center, the sense of community and the quality of care provided by the staff is the best we've had. The low staff turnover is a huge positive and the educators are experienced and personable. My kids love the outdoor space and they no longer come home starving.”
