“A Fantastic Experience for Our Little One! We couldn't be happier with the childcare centre our daughter attends. The staff has been incredibly caring and attentive. The teachers go above and beyond to ensure every child feels loved and secure, and our daughter has truly thrived in this nurturing environment. The facilities are well-maintained, and we appreciate the measures taken to ensure a safe environment for all the children. It's evident that the staff takes pride in maintaining a clean and organized space. One aspect that stands out is the positive impact on our daughter's social and emotional development. She has become more confident, outgoing, and has made wonderful friendships with her peers. The emphasis on these developmental aspects is clearly reflected in the caring and supportive atmosphere fostered by the teachers. We are thrilled with our decision to enrol our daughter in Brightlands!”

“I can't rate this childcare centre highly enough!! My two young children have been attending Brightlands since early 2022 and I am still surprised everyday by the new things they are learning. The teachers here are amazing. They are so hands on and care so deeply about ensuring each child reaches their individual learning goals set out with the help of their parents. The centre is always so well presented and ready with a variety of activities to keep the children engaged. It's so refreshing to walk in at pick-up time to see my boys so happy in their environment. We LOVE this childcare centre and would absolutely recommend Brightlands for your child's learning journey.”
