Review:

“I have had my daughter in at Little Flyers Child Care Centre on and off due to work commitments over the past three years and can 100% recommend this Centre. If you are looking for quality care with friendly staff who will take an interest in your child and tell you about it at the end of the day, then book your child in or better yet, visit the Centre and see for yourself! Sincerely, Isabella & Cameron.”- Cameron Jones

Review:

“My daughter has been going to this daycare for the past year, 5 days a week and loves it. The center has undergone quite a bit of change(for the better) since we first arrived, the carers are attentive, and the covered outdoor space is exceptional. Check out the government reviews for the centre on mychild.gov.au and startingblocks.gov.au.”- Alan Mclean

Review:

“Would highly recommend this daycare. Writing this on behalf of our daughter who was here for close to a year. She just loved the daycare and would wake up every morning looking forward to going to daycare. Nothing more a parent can ask for when you drop your child at daycare and she happily tells you Bye and you know she’s gonna enjoy here day. Good and caring educators. Multicultural. Plenty of activities like drawing, painting, gardening, open play and a lot more. Keep up the good work.”- Praveen Pinto
