★★★★★“We are so happy with Princes Close! Our son loves going there every day. The huge outdoor play area is fantastic and the centre’s location next to the park makes it beautifully quiet with no traffic noise. Chef Enzo’s food is amazing - genuinely some of the best children’s centre meals we’ve seen. The educators are all warm, helpful and very attentive. Their learning program is excellent - the kids learn through play in such a smart and engaging way. We’ve seen great progress in our son’s development and confidence. Couldn’t recommend this centre more highly!”

★☆☆☆☆“We attended this center part-time for a month. While the management team was generally okay, we had a very difficult experience with the teacher in the room. My daughter is a picky eater, and instead of supporting her, the teacher repeatedly forced early pickups. At first, I thought my daughter was just being a "cry baby," but she now attends a different childcare center where she is perfectly happy and doesn't cry at all. I’ve realized the issue was the environment here. The teacher was incredibly inflexible—often telling me at the 9:00–10:30 AM drop-off that I had to be back by 12:30 PM if she didn't eat. They even called my husband at work once while I was already on my way. If your child doesn't fit their "perfect" routine, this center is not supportive.”

★★★★★“Our 1 year old son has been attending Princes Close Childcare Centre for 6 months and I couldn't recommend them more highly. He settled in well from the very first week I believe due to the caring, attentive and experienced staff who made what can be a challenging period for any child starting at childcare into a highly positive one. Particular highlights of this centre include the consistency of the staff who know the children very well, the excellent chef and the lovely environment with an enormous outside space for the kids to explore. We definitely feel we made the right choice in selecting Princes Close.”

★★★★★“As any first-time Mum, I was worried about how my 12 month old daughter would settle at daycare but with the help of the caring, attentive staff at Princes Close she settled in easily, sleeps and eats well and loves attending. The Educators are consistent, kind and caring towards our daughters needs - and I feel fully confident leaving my daughter in their care. Thanks to all the lovely Educators, Reception staff, and chef at Princes Close.”

★★★★★“The staff here are amazing. We have sent both our kids here from daycare all the way through to kindergarten. The staff connection with our kids has been crucial to their enjoyment and development in their early years. Highly recommend Princes Childcare to anyone wanting a safe, caring and friendly environment for their kids. And the kids love the meals prepared there more than ours!”
