September 6, 2024 at 4:39 pmIt was such a big decision but we have never looked back. Since starting there, our son has been so well looked after. The team are incredible and work very hard. They are consistently cheerful to help out if we need to alter or add days.
I would highly suggest The Dolphin to any parents looking for childcare. I am so pleased that we chose The Dolphin for our son.

September 9, 2024 at 4:33 amOur first kid, now nearly three, has been there since he was three months old and they have helped him to grow into a very confident and chatty kid. Our second kid has been there a month now (five months old) and I know I don’t have to worry. Everyone at The Dolphin is welcoming and very supportive! Our boys adore it at The Dolphin.

September 11, 2024 at 4:17 pmInitially, I was very worried about sending my son to childcare centre but the guys at The Dolphin really reassured me and went above and beyond to ease us in. They have been so incredible and now, just six weeks on, my son has settled in so well and has really taken to his key worker, who is excellent! I cannot suggest highly enough. Such a fantastic childcare centre!

October 2, 2024 at 2:57 amOur daughter had a few taster sessions which confirmed our thoughts on the place and she’s consistently loved it, we’ve had no tears and she’s consistently so excited to go. The ladies in her room are consistently so enthusiastic and do so many excellent activities with her which we get to see in her little book, where they stick photos and explain everything she has been up to. She is so cared for and they put my mind at ease as I know she is in the best hands with people who really have her best interests at heart. I would choose The Dolphin over and over again. The Dolphin is incredible, as soon as I viewed the childcare centre I felt how intimate and lovely it was compared to others we had viewed.

October 14, 2024 at 9:25 amI was so nervous about leaving her when I went back to work. All the team were very welcoming and welcoming from our first visit. She has been there for just over a year now and she absolutely loves going to childcare centre. She has come on so much since she started. The activities are remarkable and I adore looking through her all about me book every week to see what they have been up to. We are so cheerful with our choice of childcare centre and would highly suggest The Dolphin! My daughter started The Dolphin last February.

October 27, 2024 at 9:55 amOur boys are developing so well because of their assistance! Dolphin childcare centre came recommended to me after reaching out via social media for the best nurseries in the area, as I’d only moved here 14 months earlier and had little to no knowledge of the area.
Needless to say, taking a chance on Dolphin childcare centre was the best decision I made for both of my boys (two boys under 2).
The management and team of team across little Dinos and Little Explorers are absolutely remarkable with our kids and never disappointed with the regular updates we have on a weekly basis with their (all about me books).
The management team are very approachable and accommodating when we’ve hit challenges and helped adjust our kids’s hours to suit our budget during this current climate.
If you are looking for a well-rounded childcare centre, I can’t suggest them highly enough.

November 10, 2024 at 6:12 amMy eldest who’s now 7 went here and now my 20-month-old twins do. Very flexible as sometimes I ask for extra hours which they seem to consistently be able to do. Adore that they use fresh produce for the cooked meals every day as well. Adore this place.

December 2, 2024 at 9:09 amThe team are fantastic, all very approachable and welcoming. They do some lovely activities with the kids which are all recorded in an “All about me” book, with photographs which is lovely to read through and see what they’ve been up too. The Pre-schoolers have also been out on some fabulous day trips which I was surprised that they manage to fit such lovely things into the day. The food the Dolphin provide is also all home cooked and delicious, my daughter often says how much she enjoys it. I would never have thought about sending my daughter anywhere else. We used the Dolphin Pre-school for my son and if anything has changed, it has only changed for the better. My daughter couldn’t be cared for more. She loves going and is consistently eager to tell me what she has been doing. The Dolphin family really are just that, family – loving and welcoming and we wouldn’t change them for the world! My daughter started Dolphin Pre-school in January 2019 and we are thrilled with her development so far.

December 12, 2024 at 2:02 amShe really enjoys the daily activities and they have helped with her development and her self‑assurance has come on leaps and bounds. The team are all very welcoming and supportive. A big thumbs up from us. Our little girl has been attending The Dolphin for 18 months now and really enjoys it.

December 26, 2024 at 10:21 pmAll of the team have been so welcoming and welcoming since day one, nothing is ever too much. My 11-month-old absolutely loves it there, the pictures in his all about me book prove that every week!! We definitely chose the best childcare centre in Exmouth. Just like any parent, I was nervous about my son starting childcare centre when I was returning to work!

January 27, 2025 at 10:29 pmI thoroughly suggest The Dolphin to any parent looking for a enjoyable, welcoming, flexible and secure, nurturing setting for their young kid. My kid loves attending The Dolphin and has grown in self‑assurance as a result.

January 31, 2025 at 12:39 pmThe team are lovely, the facilities are excellent and our daughter loves going every day.
I adore her ‘keeping in touch book’, it shows us what she has been up to during the day and shows us that she has been having a excellent time. Absolutely the best childcare centre and preschool in Exmouth!
Micah Underwood
January 31, 2025 at 11:23 pmThe team are compassionate and attentive, showing how much they care for her! She comes home cheerful after having a day full of activities and new discovering. I go to work reassured that she’s in outstanding hands! I am super impressed with how much my baby girl adores going to The Dolphin Pre School and Childcare centre.

March 10, 2025 at 11:27 amMy daughter made some fabulous friends that she continues to keep in touch with and has memories she will cherish for a lifetime. My son has just started and the team have been incredible considering he was so young. Was made to sense comfortable from day one. Such a fantastic journey at The Dolphin for both my kids.
Jesse Taylor
March 14, 2025 at 4:51 amHe has come on so much! He is getting independent with eating and enjoying interaction with other kids. The activities are incredible and consistently have a book full of photos from the day.
Considering he only goes 1 day a week and not even all day, he runs off straight away when we go to childcare centre.
The team are consistently so welcoming and welcoming. I find myself staying longer, just chatting. It’s so nice to know the setting and people that my boy is in and I can’t fault a thing. Highly suggest this incredible childcare centre. Big shout out to the team in the little tots room. Such a cheerful enjoyable setting thank you. My son has been going to The Dolphin Pre School and Childcare centre for a couple months now.

March 22, 2025 at 3:23 amThe team are all so lovely, compassionate and supportive! I know I can put all my trust in them to care for my boy! They get up to a lot of activities indoors and outdoors and you will see this in their ‘all about me book’ which I adore!
My boy has only been there a few months now but he loves it when he’s there and I know I don’t have to worry because I know all the team especially his key worker will see to all his needs and call me if they needed.
100% the best childcare centre in Exmouth. When I was looking for a childcare centre for my little boy I knew what I was looking for and when I came to visit The Dolphin I knew they were what I was looking for.
Phoenix Taylor
April 26, 2025 at 2:17 amThe team are so welcoming and attentive. The food is all home-cooked and healthy. Kids often go on activities outside of the childcare centre and learn new skills every day. I’ve personally seen the growth in my kid’s maths, speech and social skills since joining just a couple of months ago. Easily the best childcare centre in the area.

May 7, 2025 at 3:01 pmIt was recommended to me and as so many recommended it, I never looked anywhere else and it was a excellent decision. My son is in his final year before school now and he absolutely loves it. I never have a problem getting him there in the mornings, he is consistently excited and ready to go. They are consistently doing remarkable activities with them covering everything and I have been able to see how much he is discovering with them as he says stuff and I say
‘how do you know that?
The team are highly qualified, the preschool is a excellent space with lots of toys and educational things to playtime and learn with and the food is great. They are also flexible with hours and are very responsive to any changes. I sense they consistently do everything they can to help you in anyway.
One of my favourite things is the book we get back each week filled up with what they have been up to in writing and photos, it’s something we can keep forever. The Dolphin Childcare centre and Preschool is a remarkable place for your kid to be.

June 9, 2025 at 1:12 amWelcoming team who treat my daughter like one of their own, whilst constantly bringing out the best in her with creative and enjoyable activities! I can’t suggest The Dolphin Pre School and Childcare centre enough!

July 6, 2025 at 12:07 pmBoth of our kids have been here and the team are so accommodating, welcoming, and welcoming. This is such a relief when life with young kids and working can be so stressful.
Fantastic team. I cannot suggest The Dolphin enough.
