After careful consideration and lots of visiting of various centres I finally asked around and time and time again I was referred to a centre called Wakefield. I did an internet search and found them via this website. My children have been attending now for one year and are so settled, happy and learning so much more than I expected of a centre with long day care hours. I would thoroughly recommend this centre. I found the best way to find a centre was to ring around and visit them all; you can usually get a good gut feeling once you’re around the children already in their care. If they are happy and centre looks full it is a good sign. Lauren j libra wrote: We just moved to the hills area and did not know anyone. Having only one child means i am conscious of providing my son with socialisation opportunities. I looked for a centre that i had an instant good feel about, staff knew what they were talking about and Joshua liked it. The staff at Wakefield genuinely care, and there are regular social opportunities for my husband and i to get to know other parents too. I now have a social network too. i have just enrolled my child at Wakefield and have had the most awesome experience there. The staff are so qualified and caring. My daughter absolutely loves going and finally i can have peace of mind she likes where she goes and i dont have to feel guilty while i am at work. Its great. love it.
