Learn & Play Childcare Centre - Rhodes, New South Wales

My son attended Learn & Play daycare from 10 months old till he was 4.5 years old recently and we couldn't be happier with the care he received. From the very beginning, the educators created a warm, nurturing, and stimulating environment that fostered his growth and development. I especially want to commend Cathy, Zarina, Nelly, Zohra, Diana, and Marina, along with all the other dedicated educators, for their incredible support and genuine care. They truly went above and beyond to ensure my son's well-being and development.

Learn & Play excels in communication. We especially appreciated the daily updates on meal plans and the detailed reports on the children's activities. Seeing the latest photos of my son enjoying his day, uploaded daily to the app, was a highlight for our family.

This daycare is inside the Waterside mall, some people may not like that but for us, we felt, it was safe and comfortable for my child. There are large windows in the facility which allows good amount of sunlight and big space for children to run around and play.

They also provide an option to enroll your child to Miss Karina dance classes within the daycare centre that was such a convenient option to opt for. Ms Karina and her energizing dance moves & music was a treat for my child, my son used to enjoy it a lot and is going to cherish the experience and learning forever.

The centre's commitment to transparency and open communication made us feel very involved in our son's daycare experience.

The educators were also instrumental in supporting us through key developmental milestones. During the potty training phase, their patience and encouragement were invaluable. They provided consistent support both at daycare and offered helpful advice for us to use at home, which made the process so much smoother. We also saw a significant improvement in my son's eating habits while at Learn & Play. The educators encouraged him to try new foods and helped him develop good table manners. Beyond that, they instilled positive behaviour and mannerisms in the children, which we truly appreciate.

Christian, the head of the centre, is an amazing person and clearly fosters a positive and supportive atmosphere for both the children. I highly recommend Learn & Play to any family looking for a loving, enriching, and well-communicated daycare experience.

My child has been going to this daycare since he was 10 months old and he adjusted pretty well. The love and affection his caregivers show towards him makes me worry less about him after the drop off. My son was struggling to walk independently and was scared of letting go of the support. All his care givers encouraged him and provided him enough opportunity to start walking independently. He took his first independent steps in his daycare and hit caregivers were thoughtful enough to send me a video. I am totally satisfied with the facility. Keep up the good work guys.

I absolutely recommend Learn and Play - my kids have been there for the last 2 years and absolutely love it. They started out in the babies room at 14 months, went to bandicoots then monkeys and now they're in the dragon flies room. The carers throughout have been so amazing, so loving towards the kids and so super responsible. I am very comfortable leaving my kids there each day knowing that they will be well taken care of. Christine, the director, is also really lovely - very approachable and helpful!

Nappies are changed regularly, food is great, centre is always clean and the children do a different activity each day. Amazes me how much the children have learnt at daycare. Learn and Play have also begun the mammoth task of "toilet training" the older children at daycare, which really helps us parents.

In all, absolutely recommend Learn and Play, and trust them!

My son has been attending the daycare since he was 8 months old. The carers are lovely. The facility is clean and well equipped for various kids activities. My son enjoys the sand pit the most.

I cannot thank this centre enough for helping us raise our daughter who went here from 6 months old up to 2.5 years old when we moved away. We were able to pursue our careers because we were confident that we were leaving her in capable and caring hands. During her time in the centre, we watched her grow into a bubbly, confident, sociable little girl because she was happy with every day she spent in daycare. She would always come home with a new talent--be it crawling, walking, and later counting in English and Spanish, then reciting the planets and alphabets, all while she was still below 2.5 years old. She would always bring a new song and dance, and would always tell stories about her friends and educators, which showed how much she felt loved in that centre. She grew fondness for books because they had reading time in the morning. She was confident in public because they were encouraged to talk in front of the group during their Show and Tell. We were surprised she started playing soccer at home and even more surprised when we brought her to a sports class and she knew how to shoot hoops in basketball! All these basic well-rounded foundations, we owe to the loving educators who looked after our daughter with genuine concern for her development and welfare. And not to mention that they were still able to upload amazing photos in the app so we excited parents would know the activities of our little ones during the day.

Cathy and Zarena were amazing with babies. They loved my lil bubba like their own when she was still in infant room. Nelie, Gulsoom, Odnoo, and Angie were amazing with the toddlers. They were pivotal in my little one’s “talents” like singing, dancing, storytelling, interest in space and planets, playing sports, baking and science experiments. These ladies always greeted her with such sweet smiles and kind words in the morning that’s why she was always excited to go there. In the evening at pick up time, they would still meet us with smiles like they didn’t just go through another tough day looking after many kids. I think it’s a good thing that they are employed permanently because the kids get used to their familiar faces and are able to develop deep connections with them. Christine, the director of the centre, was always so considerate and great with kids too, she was very hands-on and the kids love her.

They were all amazing, we would never forget their sacrifices especially during the covid lockdowns when they braved going to the centre so the parents could leave their kids and be able to work to sustain their families. My little one misses them so much, and so do we. I wish them all the best in their lives for all the goodness they’ve done for us.
