What are families saying about First Steps

“Our two boys love First Steps! Our oldest has been there from Possum babies room all the way to Kangaroo kindy room and he is so well prepared for school next year. Our youngest in Koala toddlers room is also flourishing. The teachers are amazing and the centre always feels so welcoming”

My three children have attended First Steps Daycare over the past 5 years. I have had nothing but the best experience with this centre and all of the staff. My children feel welcomed and included. Their individual needs have been comprehensively catered for across all room levels. The staff are super friendly and go above and beyond for the families attending the centre. I have found communication to be exceptional. First Steps are always involving children in extra-curricular learning experiences and hold many fun days throughout the term in recognition of special events, not to mention the extraordinary end of year celebrations and Kindy graduation! I highly recommend First Steps Daycare!

“As a parent you always worry about who may be caring for your kids. However, once we stepped into first steps we knew from the very first tour that we would be comfortable leaving our son in the capable hands of the first steps team. Our son was our first to go to daycare and his transition was made simple by the caring educators who made it their mission to comfort, nourish and support any of his daily needs! We wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.”

“First Steps Daycare has been a fantastic choice for our family, offering a warm, family-oriented environment where our children truly thrive. The staff are not only highly skilled but also deeply caring, making every child feel like part of their extended family. With a nurturing atmosphere, engaging activities, and excellent communication with parents, First Steps goes above and beyond to create a supportive and safe space that feels like a true home away from home. I am grateful that all three of my children have had the chance to attend First Steps, and I know they have loved it just as much as I do.”

“The First Steps staff have made my family feel so welcome at the centre. Everyone is very friendly and my son’s social skills have improved immensely since starting at First Steps. He tells us often how much he loves his educators and we are impressed with what he is learning. We are so happy our children start their learning adventure with First Steps.”

“We love First Steps Early Learning! We are always recommending to our friends and family. The educators are friendly & caring, the sense of family and community within the centre is welcoming, with so much to do and the programs the educators plan for our boys, their development is incredible to see and watch. We really enjoy hearing about their day and what they have learnt. They are very accommodating to each family and their needs!”
