“Little Villa have catered to all the needs of my child throughout his 2 years at the centre. They care for the children as if they were their own. Many learning opportunities that help the children flourish and always catered to the individual child. Have gone above and beyond to make sure my child enjoys the care. Great staff, great food, great facilities and always a great experience!”
