This is my children’s third childcare centre, and I can confidently say we’ve finally found the right one. I know we’ll be staying here long term—it’s truly one of the best in the area.From the very start, I was impressed by the convenience. There’s 15-minute street parking right outside, plus a private car park inside the centre—which is a lifesaver, especially on those rainy mornings!Their operating hours (7AM–6PM) are perfect for working parents, and they provide all meals throughout the day—breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea, and even a late snack. It’s one less thing for us to worry about.What really stands out to me are the thoughtful little details. They organise optional excursions that connect the kids with the community, and always share a clear safety plan beforehand. I loved how they had a professional dentist visit to teach the children about dental hygiene in a fun and age-appropriate way.They also make learning fun, with dress-up days and family events like Mother’s Day. My 5-year-old’s educators are doing a fantastic job preparing her for school with a strong focus on school readiness.One thing I deeply appreciate is that this centre does not pressure children to nap if they don’t want to. At our first daycare, naps were forced and even used as punishment, which was heartbreaking. At Sage, the environment is respectful, nurturing, and child-centred. They understand and support children who may be going through emotional moments and always guide them with kindness and professionalism.Another standout for me is their exceptional hygiene and safety practices. My children have never had redness in their nappy area—nappy changes are clearly done frequently and with care. They’re also incredibly attentive when it comes to injuries or incidents. Even the tiniest bump is reported to me, and I’ve never discovered a scratch without them knowing exactly what happened. Accidents are rare, but if anything does occur, they immediately make adjustments to keep the space even safer.You would think all of these good qualities would be a given at any childcare centre—but sadly, from our experience at their first centre, that’s not always the case. Sage truly goes above and beyond. They genuinely care about your children, your family, and their wellbeing.I am truly grateful we found them.
