WHAT OUR PARENTS ARE SAYING

We love First Steps! Amazing, caring staff and excellent management. I feel totally safe leaving my son in their care and even better, he loves it

Karlie M

Both of our children went to First Steps and loved it. It is a great family and community based centre with warm and welcoming staff. The educators are highly qualified and produce excellent programs that engage the children. I would highly recommend sending your children here. It’s like having your own extended family – there is so much love for all of the children.

Both my daughters have gone to First Steps. My youngest starts Kindy this year after beginning at First Steps at 9months old and she loves it so much! All the carers are so kind and happy and welcoming and Connie & Trevor are just amazing.

All 4 of my children have attended First Steps over the last 10 years and loved it. The centre and its staff have had an important role in our children’s development on all levels, and now feel like part of the family. Connie and Trevor go above and beyond to ensure children enjoy high quality care, and fun, stimulating experiences that helped my children learn many new skills. The staff are highly qualified, experienced, warm and caring. They were particularly supportive and helpful with my 2 autistic children. We will all be very sad when our youngest starts school.

I have just had my 3rd child graduate kindy at the centre. It has been such a wonderful place for our kids to learn and grow. The staff have been amazing. I love how each child is treated like they are family. A caring and nurturing place for your child that I highly recommend.
