Parent Reviews
What Parents Say.
Since the beginning, weʼve focused on providing the best early learning education for all families.
We love Woodlands Daycare Centre! The staff, the educators and the premises are amazing. Everyone there goes above and beyond in an effort to ensure both parents and children are happy. They all do a fantastic job and it’s obvious they enjoy what they do. We could not be happier with the centre and highly recommend it to anyone looking for great child care.
Karen Binos
We were honestly really reluctant to leave our child in the care of anyone else. We were both very nervous but woodlands has been amazing. After about a month our daughter literally cried when she had to go home because she loves the staff at woodlands so much. We’ve also noticed her development (particularly socially) has dramatically improved since joining woodlands.
Michael Toussaint
Very well managed childcare with passionate and friendly educators. Have been sending my son here for the past 2 years after changing from another big name centre. The experience here cannot be faulted, staff are always willing to talk about any concerns you may have and discuss your child’s development. Communication with parents is very good and I am genuinely impressed with the care and attentiveness of the staff.
K Szyd
Absolutely satisfied with all the friendly team members and services provided in this beautiful day care. My son Rafael looks forward to learn and expand his creativity with all the fun activities they provide throughout the day. Parents are always updated with notifications and pictures of the children and are constantly aware of their activities. I would like to again, thank all of Woodlands Roxburgh Park, well done. Amazing centre.
