Absolutely amazing kindergarten with highest standards, great educators, clean and tidy rooms, huge outside playgrounds in the share. Kids are always entertained, having hats when outside, a lot of extracurricular activities like sport and even music! Highly recommended!

The educators here are fantastic and extremely welcoming. My daughter is 1.5 and they have been nothing but sensational with her. They are all kind, caring and gentle, always making sure the children are well looked after and enjoying themselves. My daughter has suffered a bit of separation anxiety (as kids do) and they have put in extra efforts to ensure she still enjoys her day calmly. Highly highly recommend:)

Fabulous centre with great facilities and experienced and loving educators. Having started my two children in the middle of the year, the staff were particularly helpful with my additional needs daughter and their support was key to obtaining supports for her and preparing her for the transition to primary school. I loved the fact that the centre is small enough to accomodate my children playing together, yet equipped to cater for their individual developmental needs. The school ready program was fantastic and I didn't realise how useful it would be in preparing my child for adapting to the independence required at school. My little one is high energy and the awesome play areas and thoughtfully planned activities cater for him and his busy body! Cannot recommend highly enough. Feels like an extension of family now, my little boy doesn't even say goodbye to me most mornings as he is so eager to get involved in the day's play.

Our 18 month old has been going to Strawberry Fields since the start of this year (about 10 weeks now), and she loves it. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching her develop a strong sense of belonging so early on in the process. She loves getting ready for “school”, can quite often be heard at home saying the names of some of her new daycare friends, the names of the staff and claps most mornings when she sees the sign/ front entrance. Staff seem to go above and beyond for all the kids in their charge and are all lovely, approachable and informative. As an anxious first time parent to the whole daycare thing I also love the use of the Storypark app for regular updates on the daily routine and seeing what they have been learning and engaging with that particular day via the daily story

We absolutely love Strawberry Fields Wamberal ? Our daughter has been lucky enough to attend the centre for nearly a year now. We cannot speak more highly of all of the staff (especially the fabulous educators in the Clever Caterpillar Room). Our little girl loves going to daycare each day and our minds are always at ease knowing that she is so well cared for. Thank you!!!!

We highly recommend strawberry fields day care centre. The staff are kind, polite, professional and most of all caring. I have no hesitation in leaving our young son in care, he loves going and is so happy. We receive daily updates and photos. Routines are tailored to our child’s individual needs, which is so fantastic. We feel we are part of a family at strawberry fields and we are so happy we found this centre

I cant recommend unfortunately but they dont deserve a 1 star as they were very good at certain things.
We sent our 2 year old here for approx. 3 months.
In the space of those 3 months she did learn a lot and appeared to have fun through the app.
But here is where we lost confidence in the centre.
- Our daughter was coming home hungry and thirsty everyday. Like she hadn't eaten anything or drunk any water at all.
- The staff were putting clothes that our daughter did an accident in straight into her day bag with her clean clothes and dirty bed sheets rather than separating. Apparently they cant supply plastic bags but failed to mention this.
- The grandfather picked her up and had never been ID'd or even seen by the centre prior and when picking our daughter up was just handed her and said goodbye. A complete stranger to the centre.

Although the centre owner did contact me and we discussed this all at length, we just felt we couldn't stay any longer.
Reason for this review is to make other parents aware of things before it happens just to ensure it doesn't again!

There aren’t enough words to describe how fantastic this centre is ! . Having a previously classed non verbal child who is communicating more in the last few months of being there than over four years says it all ! Each person is so committed to their role and they are so down to earth . I am just so very impressed with them and the service overall ! The proof really is in the pudding !
