We made the difficult decision to withdraw our child from this daycare after losing confidence in the management and the direction the centre was heading. Our child had been attending for around two years and is naturally very shy and introverted. It took a long time for them to build trusting relationships with their educators and gain the confidence to ask for help. Those educators were absolutely wonderful and played a huge role in their development. Unfortunately, over a short period, multiple long-term staff members l... read more

I was always so keen to recommend Happy Hearts Reid Street, and was so proud to be part of the community but the culture has changed. They have just lost the most incredible Kindy teacher, a skilled ECT that prepared kids so wonderfully for their transition into prep. I’m hopeful the staff turnover slows down and we keep what’s left of our fantastic educators as my child is in her final year and has such wonderful friends.

You can really tell they put their hearts into what they do, and I appreciate the effort they make every day. However, lately there has been a noticeable increase in staff turnover. Many of the familiar faces have left, and it’s been difficult constantly adjusting to new educators. For children (and parents), consistency is so important, so this has been quite unsettling.

I used to love this centre however our stay was cut short just over 4 months of being there. For a first time parent who was nervous about putting there child in daycare, I had done my research and listened to recommendations. At the time this centre was highly recommended for the area. When the centre underwent management change, that’s when I noticed the centre took a turn for the worst with multiple staff leaving. This became an issue when having to merge Toddlers with Nursery room due to staffing issues. Other issues I h... read more
