We are loved by families
My grandson attends kindergarten there and I find the teachers are friendly and knowledgeable. The program caters for different needs and he comes home telling me all about his day. Especially Rosie the leaf bug and the fishes in his room.
My daughter has been going to North Star for almost six months now and it really feels like she has a great time, learns loads and is forming great friendships with every visit. Takes some solid coaxing to try and get her to get in the car after actually. Staff are all lovely and the location is super convenient for us. Recommended.
My son loves coming to North Star. The staff are wonderful and the play spaces are thoughtfully set up and engaging!!
I highly recommend Northstar to anyone sending their children to Daycare / Kinder. My kids has been there since they opened and the staff have been amazing! They are all so welcoming and happy to see you every morning. My kids have learnt so much and are so comfortable and happy here. The ladies at Northstar are understanding and accommodate to different child's needs which has been a blessing! Nothing is too much for them to help with. I am so happy to have my children looked after and loved while I have to work. I cannot recommend enough.👌
My children currently attend North Star, and we have had a wonderful experience. The staff are caring, supportive, and always make my children feel welcome and safe. The communication with families is great, and I appreciate all the hard work the team puts into helping the children learn and grow. We are very happy to be part of the North Star community.
We have recently brought our boys over to the centre and we are incredibly happy with how they have settled and connected with friends and educators so well.
Both of my girls started just under three weeks ago, and I couldn’t be happier with how quickly they have settled in. The educators and management team have been incredibly welcoming and supportive, creating a safe and nurturing environment where my girls feel comfortable and happy. It has made the transition so much easier, and I am very grateful for the care and dedication they show every day. 😊
My grandchildren love going to North Star. All the staff are beautiful, caring and welcoming. They previously attended another centre, but since coming here they have learned so much more and their development and confidence have really improved. It’s wonderful to see how happy and engaged they are.
Zero Complaints, A million Compliments!!! The staff are absolutely amazing, attentive, and caring, and they respect the input parents give about the kids! I’ve been with them since they opened and my kids have never had a bad day, and are always excited to come back!!! Thank you so much for everything you do with and for my kids, I appreciate you all!!
We absolutely love the centre. The staff are so warm, and they make us feel welcome. Highly, recommended to all new families in the Area.💯
