Reviews
Stephanie Ryan
★★★★★“A fantastic daycare ran by staff who truly care about the children. Our daughter started in January when she was 7 months old, and the love and care shown to her has been comforting as a first time mum. She’s developed in ways I would have struggled to teach her at home and her interaction with other children has been beautiful to watch. The staff are fantastic, with educators around the centre knowing who the children are even if they are not in their room. It’s no wonder this daycare has a waitlist 💛”

★☆☆☆☆“If you pay the $2000 bond and then decide not to send your kid there, they will not pay it back! We were on the waiting list, then got notified our child could attend but had to pay the bond and sign the contract quickly, which we did. Then after deciding that the 3 days per week they could offer us wasn’t suitable, we decided to decline the offer, and asked for our bond back. And they refused. So only pay the $2000 if you’re absolutely sure.”

★★★★★“Had both my kids go here, not a day went by that they complained about going. This is a not for profit centre, with focus around the children. It's a combination of good families, good educators and good management that make this a gem. It is not fancy, but a honest down to earth place. It takes a village to raise kids, this was ours for 5+ years. Get on the waiting list early and give your kids a good memorable childhood along with an excelent start in their education. Thanks Fawkner Park team!”

★☆☆☆☆“Im very sad to write this review but I had gone through a lot emotionally. The worst experience I had, I waited for a year to get my child enrolled and she was on a wait list and every time they have a script that they are very popular and the preference is for the siblings & others and the child has to wait for another year yet she cannot secure a spot. I believe they want the child to grow up to 10 years and then they might give us a spot. I have been flexible for number of days and day preference. They dont comeback, they make money with the waitlist fee. I dont think it is good childcare management. Stay away and it is a scam”
Hayley Spencer
★☆☆☆☆“I wish I had of read Raj’s review below. The $50 waitlist fee is a complete scam. No where on the website does it tell you it’s a min 2 year waitlist. Very unhelpful for most families I am sure. Management are not at all apologetic and refuse to give money back. Tour was also average with the manager asking absolutely no questions about my child and their needs.”
