Both of my children are attending this centre since they were Nuture one, they changed the ownership but all the staff is still the same. We have nothing but only good things about this place. They have an amazing team, very supportive and always tried their best. We have never got a phone call in the middle of the day to ask us to pickup our kids just because they have a rough day, occasionally phone calls regarding incidents but hey kids bump their head while playing is normal, I guess. They are also very understanding and supportive for kids who is ASD so if you are looking for a reliable place to put your kids in, this is it.

As a past customer of this Child Care Centre when it used to be called Nuture One, I found it to be the most excellent Child Care Centre in Canberra. The manager Rachel really cares about all the children and customers there. My daughter always LOVED the place. This centre has had lasting memories for my daughter who always says she wants to visit the centre. My daughter still remembers Rachel today. They did the best for my daughter, who has behavioural issues due to certain medical conditions. They did an excellent job in managing this. I highly recommend this Child Care Centre to ANYONE WHO NEEDS THEIR CHILDREN LOOKED AFTER.

I have to say that the educators are fantastic. They are warm and caring. My daughter now runs into daycare to cuddle her educators when at previous daycares she would cling onto me and cry, not wanting to go. All the educators are fantastic particularly Rebecca, Jeena, Thi Thu and Ana. My daughter constantly comes home saying new words and singing new songs! Thank you for being part of my village and helping us raise our baby girl. 馃グ
