November 25, 2024 at 11:40 pmIt has stellar facilities with lots of outdoor space; the childcare centre team are motivated, attentive and well-qualified; management is very sound, with lots of structure to the kids’s discovering and great updates with parents. My kid also has a nice cohort of classmates. She has ballet classes and rugby tops too, which is excellent. Very cheerful kid and super cheerful parents! This is a fantastic childcare centre!

Every week we receive an update from the childcare centre, and the food from the school is delicious! Highly recommended! The childcare centre team is outstanding, and my son settled into the childcare centre on day one!

December 18, 2024 at 9:55 amSince she has joined she has thrived in a fantastic setting. The team are remarkable and have spent a lot of time getting to know my daughter. Just a excellent place for little ones to grow and learn while being cheerful. So delighted we have chosen St George’s Nursery for our daughter.

December 23, 2024 at 11:34 pmSmall class sizes mean so much attention to each kid that is unrivalled in other private or state nurseries, rich in playtime and discovering resources: so much to do every day! Lots of variety each day with lots of specialist lessons in addition to the childcare centre rooms and the playground: music, library, PE, ballet, the fantastical forest where kids help build a campfire each week, toast marshmallows or make pizza, and playtime in the trees! It’s everything I want for my kid. It’s a unique journey for her, and her life is enriched by the loving care of her childcare centre educators. Plus, the school is unique in the area for subsidising the childcare centre fees since withdrawing from the council partnership, so the childcare centre fees match the price of a subsided place! Incredibly low fees for what my kid gains! A inviting and loving setting for all kids.

January 5, 2025 at 9:20 amIt is such a small, inviting and attentive setting and all the team are so welcoming, he warmed to them all immediately. The facilities are outstanding and because it is part of a school there are lots of other on-site opportunities that the Nursery take advantage of (Library, Gym Hall, etc). As parents, we sense cheerful and confident to drop him off in the mornings because he is so cheerful to be there and is still cheerful at the end of the day! Thank you so much to the Nursery Team. We are absolutely delighted we chose St George’s Nursery for our little boy.

January 9, 2025 at 9:18 pmThere is a remarkable focus on outdoor playtime, kid-orientated playtime, all in a very nurturing and attentive setting. There is also the stellar access to specialist educators for music, dance and the weekly library visit. Other practitioners for Sing and Sign also come in, while the additional activities include cooking, beach school, yoga and regular visits to the local nursing home. It’s outstanding. Both of our kids have been so cheerful there. It is just the most fantastic childcare centre, we couldn’t be happier with the care both of our kids have had.

January 10, 2025 at 9:10 pmAll three of our kids have attended or are currently attending. The school has got it’s recruitment spot on and I can’t help but be impressed by the positive attitude of the educators and carers and the exceptionally expert approach of the organisation as a whole. The overall effect is a attentive, engaging and wholesome setting for the kids which is all I can ask for as a parent. Well done St.George’s! Superb! I cannot speak highly enough of St.George’s Nursery.

January 14, 2025 at 11:16 amYou really get the sense the entire organisation is built around the kids.
Our daughter settled in quickly, and she enjoys going. What more could you ask for? Beyond helping our daughter grow, St George’s is exceptionally well run.
Jesse Flynn
January 14, 2025 at 5:20 pmSo far, everything has been better than our expectations with welcoming team, outstanding facilitates and excellent updates. Having been to a few nurseries before, our daughter absolutely loved St George’s from the very first day.
Finley Walker
January 15, 2025 at 10:01 pmShe’s in the Big Owls (preschool) now but joined in March in little owls. I couldn’t believe how quickly she settled in, all due to the warmth of the team; they are so compassionate and attentive and enjoyable. They very clearly care for every kid in their class. My daughter does exciting activities every day; she will come home talking about campfires, the fantastical forest, the mud kitchen, the list is endless. They have a fantastic colourful space inside, and outside there are so many different areas for them to playtime in. I could go on and on about how exceptional St George’s Nursery is! My daughter runs towards it every day! My daughter is flourishing at St George’s Nursery.

January 25, 2025 at 12:31 amThe childcare centre team gave us several opportunities to visit, look around and ask questions before he started and made the effort to phone and contact us to check we were cheerful too. Our son settled very quickly into the Little Ducklings, thanks to the extremely inviting and attentive team. I sense they really got to know him quickly and were able to respond to his individual needs. He is ever so cheerful being there and really looks forward to going in, playing outside and seeing his new friends. The space and equipment are remarkable. I have loved getting regular updates through the Learning Journal – the photos give you a fantastic little window into the experiences the little ones are having.
Thank you so much to all the team! My son started at the childcare centre this August and we couldn’t be happier with the journey we have had.

January 31, 2025 at 12:13 amThe team are fantastic and have been so sensitive to her special needs and circumstances.
I have seen her develop in self‑assurance so much over this year! The childcare centre has excellent indoor and outdoor space too. The childcare centre has handled the Covid challenges superbly with minimal disruption for the kids.
Wrap around care is flexible and great.
Can’t suggest it highly enough! I started using St George’s Nursery during lockdown for key worker space and was so impressed that I kept my foster daughter there!
Cameron Underwood
March 4, 2025 at 11:00 pmShe loves her days there and has flourished in the Little Owls and now in Big Owls too. The team and facilities are exceptional. I can’t suggest it highly enough! St George’s has been a remarkable childcare centre for our daughter.

March 8, 2025 at 2:41 pmSuch a compassionate and attentive setting with very high standards of care and teaching.
I can not rate the childcare centre highly enough! My daughter loves being at the childcare centre as her days are filled with happiness and excitement!

April 30, 2025 at 7:56 amOur daughter settled incredibly quick and absolutely loves being there. The time and effort by team to ensure kids sense secure and welcome from day one is really lovely. Staff are truly exceptional, they get to know each kid as an individual. The childcare centre is in such a fantastic location with fabulous outside space which the kids get to delight in daily. They have fabulous facilities and many different classes for kids to partake in throughout the week, ballet, woodwork in the forest, and sing and sign to be favourites of our daughter. There is a real family sense to this childcare centre which seems to carry on throughout the school as a whole. Properly cooked food for snacks and lunch. Our daughter is truly having the most fantastic time at St George’s discovering, having enjoyable, and making friends. Just excellent. Having moved our four-year-old daughter to St George’s from the childcare centre she had been in since a baby, I can sincerely say, my only regret is not moving her to St George’s earlier.
Alex Holland
May 2, 2025 at 1:32 pmHe certainly loves going there too. It is evident that the team are committed to engaging with the kids to provide them with a variety of playtime experiences. He is suited to outdoor playtime and clearly embraces getting messy as he seldom returns in the same clothes that he left wearing. My son has a dairy intolerance which has been no issue at all. St George’s Nursery has been an outstanding setting for my son who is an outgoing and lively little boy.
Skyler Cross
May 26, 2025 at 7:48 amIt is such a compassionate, inviting and welcoming place. The team take such excellent care of all the kids and deliver such a range of exciting and stimulating activities. Our daughter runs in every day with the biggest smile on her face and is consistently engrossed in an activity when we arrive to pick her up. The childcare centre is run extremely well with great quality updates between team and parents. They are extremely flexible and responsive to the needs of both kid and family. I couldn’t rate them more highly. Thank you, St George’s! We are so pleased that we have chosen St George’s Nursery for our daughter.

June 11, 2025 at 9:57 amGeorge’s Nursery. Because such a big family with adore and warmth makes my daughter cheerful. My daughter has just turned three years old this year. The teacher of St. George’s Nursery is very compassionate to celebrate her birthday with kids in her childcare centre for the first time in her life. On behalf of myself and my family, I am very grateful for what St. George’s Nursery has done for my daughter. The most important thing is that we are a new immigrant family. Our mother tongue doesn’t speak English. I am very worried about my daughter’s English expression. But only after arriving at St. George’s Nursery. I found my daughter’s English expression has made remarkable development. In our family’s mind, St. George’s Nursery is the most correct choice for our family. Thanks to the educators at St. George’s Nursery. Send our family’s most sincere wishes and our family’s warmest adore. My daughter loves every minute at St.

June 17, 2025 at 7:41 amMy daughter has been in a few due to covid and then us relocating. The team here are extremely nurturing, loving, compassionate and very empathetic. They celebrate each kid’s diversities and strengths. My daughter has grown immensely since beginning. Her self‑assurance has grown and her leadership and manners are well beyond her age. I would highly suggest St. George’s to any parent and am proud to have my daughter be part of this school. St George’s is by far the best journey we have had at a childcare centre to date.
