ShellyTots Long DayCare - St. Ives, New South Wales

My daughter joined Shellytots at 2 years old, and now she’s thriving in preschool there. She’s always eager and excited to go, which speaks volumes about the care she receives. The teachers and Principal Michelle are incredibly caring, friendly, and genuinely love what they do. It’s no wonder all the kids adore them! Shellytots feels like a second home, providing a warm, nurturing environment that we couldn’t be happier with. Highly recommended!

ShellyTots is hands down the best daycare in the area. Michelle and her team are incredibly warm and professional and take amazing care of our children. They create a wonderful environment for children to grow and learn, while becoming independent little human beings who are ready to move on to the next step in their lives. Thank you to all of the team at ShellyTots for playing such a foundational role in my kids' lives - they love you and there's no better endorsement than that.

My daughter has been attending Shelleytots for the past 2 years and the teachers are wonderful and nurturing. Monique and Michelle were instrumental in settling my daughter into a daycare routine, and were kind and patient, offering additional days to build her up. This year, my daughter is excited to come to school, and walks in with confidence. I highly recommend Shelleytots to develop, encourage and support you and your family. They are like a home away from home.

We loved Shelly Tots from the first time we stepped inside the front door. The teachers are fantastic and when you leave your child there you know that they will have a day filled with adventures, great play with friends and good and healthy food. All there needs are taking care of and if you have any questions Michelle and Karen will do anything you help you.
Shelly Tots is for our kids a second home and we love it!!!

We feel very lucky for our son to have attended Shelly Tots Pre School. As soon as you enter Shelly Tots each day you are greeted by friendly, engaging and nurturing educators. They take the time to know each child and their families so that everyone is comfortable; the children and the parents!
Each day we would hear stories from our son about the fun, adventures and learning that he has experienced; reinforced by the photos and stories that the educators shared with us personally and via love their Kinderloop app
Shelly Tots addressed the educational needs of our child as well as his emotional and social wellbeing. He participated in programs and activities that encourage him to engage, question and analyse the world around him, enriching his life and form a love of learning and thus a strong foundation and enthusiasm for further education.
Shelly Tots promotes a wonderful community spirit and we couldn’t speak more highly of this wonderful pre school. Our child still loves to drop by and visit them even now he is in Year 1!

Shellytots provides a wonderful environment for children to discover, learn and have fun.

The staff is the best, super friendly and professional. Our DD enjoyed her time there and missed all her friends and teachers dearly when she left. She couldn't be in better hands all that time.

This is our 5th year at Shellytots and we could not be happier. The centre offers all the services of a long daycare but has the culture, care and intimacy of a home daycare. The director is extremely hands-on in all aspects and ensures that every single staff member is a perfect fit with the warm, caring and professional culture of the centre. Highly recommend for all ages, including pre-school age.

All educators are extremely caring and knowlegeble, they won a special place in our heart and memories. Our daughther is ready for big school with all the skills (educational and emotional) that ShellyTots provided!
