★★★★★“In what can feel like a VERY nerve-wracking time for parents searching for good — let alone great — childcare, we happened to find 🍁Maples, and it has far exceeded all of our expectations. The staff are warm, friendly, and incredibly professional. I’ll admit I was quite skeptical at first, but the team quickly built trust with both me and my husband through their exceptional care of our son, who started just before his first birthday. Both Sai and Mimi are the most enthusiastic, gentle, and kind educators I’ve ever met. We’re so grateful for their support — they’ve truly become part of our extended village, helping to raise our little boy. We are exceptionally thankful to the entire 🍁Maples team for creating such a kind, caring community for all children, and for going above and beyond to make our son’s transition to daycare such a positive and nurturing experience 🥹”

★★★★★“Our family is so fortunate to have secured a place in Maples for our little one, who always has a smile for the educators at each drop off and pick up. We love the new building with its play areas and secure entry points. Most of all, we love the staff and educators who are so warm, caring and accommodating.”

★★★★★“This centre is absolutely beautiful! The rooms are so thoughtfully designed, with amazing play spaces that would keep children engaged and entertained all day. I especially love the outdoor areas, the way children can move freely between indoors and outdoors throughout the day, regardless of the weather, is fantastic. Every play space shows such attention to detail. When I took my son for a recent tour and visit, he absolutely loved the sandpit area with its little cooking setup, construction tools, sink, and even pizza boxes, it really encouraged his imagination and pretend play skills. All of the educators and staff we met during the tour were so warm and welcoming. Overall, I couldn’t recommend this centre more highly, such a beautiful environment for children to learn and play and make me feel reassured leaving him there.”

★★★★★“Sami and Jarrod have such a wealth of knowledge and experience in early childhood education, and it really shows — not just in them, but across the entire team at Maples. The brand-new centre is so thoughtfully planned and beautifully designed. The rooms and outdoor play spaces are perfectly suited to each age group, and the activities are wholesome and engaging — from yoga and composting to sensory play and play-based learning. I also love that they share real-time photos and videos with detailed summaries, so you can see exactly what your child is doing throughout the day. I couldn’t recommend Maples Early Learning highly enough. Even if you’re happy with your current centre, it’s worth booking a tour to see the incredible environment Maples provides for children to grow and thrive.”
