“The worst preschool that one of my children has ever experienced. My son only lasted 3 days with no willingness from the unprofessional staffs to try and give him the full support he needed. Instead they let him cried himself to sleep, no feeding no milk, just absolute disgusting by the whole experience as the result my son ended up in the hospital suffering from diarrhea and ear infections from crying as per our GP. I don't know if they are all qualified as none of them have experience of meeting the kids needs. To top it off, when I laid a complaint with the supervisor, she did admit that if kids don't want to eat they will just leave it. This is so not on.”
