The educators clearly have a passion for what they do and I know my kids are in safe hands! Highly recommend Tim DempsterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Recently relocating from Sydney, Happy Tots went above and beyond to accommodate and make us and our child feel completely comfortable. All the staff are lovely and a pleasure to speak to and deal with. We consider ourselves very lucky we came across this centre. Our child has a ball there! sandy palmerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Brilliant educators who are amazing the children,, it is so reassuring to know that my daughter is in great hands😀 Caeli GrangeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My son has recently joined the kindergarten program after relocating to the area. We are so impressed with the experience we have had with the kindergarten program and their educators. We love how they are creative with excursions for the children to learn in a different environment. It is evident the efforts the educators put in to build a friendly and creative learning environment for the children. I love it when I drop off my son educators from different rooms are also always greeting us and know who he is. I truly believe their kindy program is setting my son up for success when he joins prep next year. Edit: A year on and we still think this place is great. We now have one kiddo in the Pre Kindy and our little one in Nursery. I love how attentive the staff are. The staff are really caring, when my son struggles at drop off there is always someone there to assist him. Our eldest also attends before school care. Miss Kelly runs a great program. I appreciate that she shares Thornlands SS updates with the schoolies community. The vacation care program is filled with lots of great activities also. What makes this centre great? The staff- thanks all for providing great loving care to our children. Alice TollisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My kids have attended the centre for 2yrs now. My daughter started in the nursery and is now in kindergarten next year. The amazing educators there always go above and beyond. Kelly runs the most amazing scoolies program and a big mention to Brea who has guided my kids amazingly. Now with the guidance of the awesome new director, Alana as well as all the other amazing staff at this centre I cannot wait to see what the future holds for both kids and the centre! Cannot thank the staff enough and i highly recommend! cait PritchardTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My daughter has just started up at Happy Tots and I couldn’t be happier with how things have turned out. The educators have made me feel so welcomed and have helped me feel comfortable with leaving my newborn in their care while I returned back to work. I’m so grateful for all the educators and we can’t wait to continue our years at Happy tots
