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.
Adam Fadzil

She is always so happy to be there with her favourite educators, Nav and Herian. And a great admin team thank you to nedine and Jess for always making sure summer has everything she needs.
Kay Carlos
My twins have been attending Woodlands day care for 2.5 years. We are happy with the educators interactions and communications. The boys always talk about their day and what they've learned. Lots of activities. Their speech surprises us sometimes with new words they learn. Every staff we come across have been friendly and pleasant. highly recommend this learning centre.
Pauline Mieu
My son has been attending Woodlands for nearly 3 years now, and I could not be happier. They have the most amazing, loving, caring, friendly staff who go above and beyond to look after the kids. I am kept informed and up to date with what he has been doing throughout the day, and the photos we receive are great. I wound highly recommend Woodlands to anyone looking for daycare.
