There are many words to describe how amazing this centre is but I can only explain my experience. My daughter was at a nearby centre and I never felt completely comfortable there after her orientation. But I let it go as my daughter seemed happy there. Obviously with a two year-old her sleep times are a bit all over the place. I would drop her off at various times in the morning but one time it was a bit later than normal and this particular time, I have never felt so uncomfortable dropping my daughter off. At this point I was in a tough spot personally and this experience caused me to burst into tears. Very embarrassing but none the less it was a wake up call to move her. I drove over to North Star to see if the newly built centre still had any vacancies as I knew my niece was having a fantastic experience there. I was incredibly lucky that they could take my daughter on the days required quite quickly. The difference in staff attitudes, how easy it is to be able to communicate easily with everyone in the centre is just amazing. The educators in my daughter’s room are absolutely fantastic. I am incredibly happy here and will recommend this centre to anyone who asks. Thank you to everyone at North Star for a wonderful experience. Unfortunately it can be hard to find.

Could not be happier with the service and care given to my boys. Sadly I had and extremly negative experienced with the prvious daycare centre my boys attended. I was never heard with my concerns and always made out to feel like "I was the problem". But since changing them over to this facility the care has been absoloutly noticable for the better. ALL staff are amazing, welcoming and extremly comfortable. Since my previous expericence I never thought I would find somewhere I felt comfortable sending my children. This that were issues previosuly are suddenly not issues anymore. I feel like my children are safe, they are both always happy to be with the educators and I feel extremley confident in the care they give. I highly recomend this facility for anyone looking for a centre, they honestly care for my boys like they are their own. Communication is fantastic and nothing gets missed. This place is everything you want in a facilty and more. All educators go above and beyond, I could not thank them enough for everything they do for not only my sons but for me as a parent. THANK-YOU!!

NorthStar have gone above and beyond in supporting families to have rich play and learning experiences at home. The play dough starter kit we received from Northstar was a timely and perfect afternoon activity for an otherwise quiet day. We practiced measuring, pouring and dividing the dough, increasing motor skills and language development. Thanks for providing us with this little learning activity which keeps them entertained for hours (and months to come)!

Our daughter has been at Northstar Wallan since she was 4 months old, and we couldn't be happier. Now at 9 months, she's thriving—happy, engaged, and developing beautifully. The educators and staff are so lovely, warm, and friendly. Communication is always clear and reassuring, and we feel truly confident leaving her in their care. We're so grateful for the nurturing environment they've created. Highly recommend!

We honestly couldn’t ask for a better place for our son! The team at Northstar are all so kind, caring, and clearly love what they do. From day one, they’ve made us feel totally at ease—like we’re leaving him family! Huge thanks to everyone there—you’ve made such a positive impact on our family. Highly recommend to any parent looking for somewhere to enrol their children!

North Star have continuously and consistently impressed us with their staff, their facilities and their philosophy. The premises incorporate themes from their Finnish educational model, indigenous Australia and the various cultures that make up our community. The environment doesn’t just nurture the kids who attend, but the whole community- with they have on-the-run emergency breakfasts for busy parents; a community pantry for struggling families; and collection points for local charities. The staff are experienced, knowledgeable and caring. They’ve surpassed our expectations in every way. The menu is nutritious and exciting without being too challenging for young palates. We couldn’t be happier with our choice to have North Star as part of our care community.

I’ve had my daughter on the waitlist for North Star since I first saw the signage on the new build. I’m so glad I waited for this centre. The rooms are gorgeous and the team are nothing short of amazing. Special shout out to the 3YO Kinder educators. My daughter has only been here for 2 weeks but it feels like she’s been here forever. She absolutely loves it!

My daughter started at North Star four weeks ago and after touring many centres in the area I was taken away buy my tour experience, all the staff were amazingly friendly to both myself and daughter, it was going to be my first time leaving my daughter in care and I felt right about this centre, I was nervous but happy that I had made the right choice buy choosing North Star, she has had the delight of being in the Reindeer room with some of the most humblest educators who she adores I was worried about her sleeping and eating as she is very set in her routine at home but they managed to get her to sleep and eating everything, as a first time day care mum I can’t say how impressed I have been, my daughter is loving it and looks forward to going her room leader Kaitlyn goes above and beyond to communicate with me through out the day calling me and sending me photos, the centre is so nice and clean I can not fault them I’m greatful to find such amazing centre with such great service and staff.

New to town and did a few tours North Star Early Education was by far the best a new and fresh centre with such lovely staff and facilities. It’s been the best choice for my girls. And am pleased with the support of the 4 year old kinder program getting ready for school next year. Glad I waited to send them to North Star 😊

We have had our son on the waitlist to attend this centre since it was first announced that North Star would be opening. We loved the premise of learning in line with the Finland Way education model. Our son started on day 1 of their opening and I cannot say just how pleased we are with every element of the service. We expected some teething issues given it was a brand new centre but service has been above and beyond our expectations since commencement. I've had this child and my older kids at various centres in the area and whilst some were great (others shocking) North Star is world's apart in terms of communication and service, but mostly because every day my very clingy 2 year old is happy to go and then happy at home time to tell me all about his wonderful day. They understand that every child is different and encourage the individuality of the child and their interests and routines rather than force them to conform to what is easiest. We love it so much we already have our next child on the waitlist and they arent even born yet, but can't risk there not being availability
