“It has been such a wonderful journey for our son and us as a family. Our son has grown into a confident little boy who likes to explore, play alongside with other kids and utilising any opportunities given to him. The staffs are amazing, understanding and very accomodating. We thank each one of you at Kindercare Bishopdale for being such a important part of our son’s learning journey and giving him the love, trust, opportunity, guidance and support during his early years of learning. A special shout out to the admin team and also to chef who makes yummy delicious healthy food for the little ones. We are forever grateful❤️”

“We spent 7 years at Kindercare Bishopdale with our two daughters. They were like a second family to us. The staff & teachers are all so kind and caring. Our girls thrived in this environment and we cannot thank the team enough for helping them grow. Forever will sing their praises.”

“We couldn’t be happier with the care our daughter received at Kindi Care Bishopdale. Sam, the manager, is amazing—warm, professional, and truly dedicated. Her staff are just as caring and supportive. A wonderful team we highly recommend!”

“The education and care for our two children are Kindercare Bishopdale has been outstanding. They have both felt loved, secure, safe and have learned so much across the board. All teachers and staff are incredibly friendly and have always been strong on communication and creating relationships with not just the children, but us as parents as well. Nutritious hot meals are a great bonus (how lucky are the kids getting fresh fruit crumble out of the oven?!)”

“We've had such a wonderful experience with Kindercare Bishopdale over the past few years. All three of our children have attended, with our oldest just recently graduating, and we honestly couldn't have asked for a better place for them to grow, learn, and thrive. The team are incredibly caring, attentive, and truly take the time to get to know each child individually. It’s clear they genuinely love what they do, and it shows in the nurturing, fun, and supportive environment they create. Our kids have formed great friendships, built confidence, and always came home full of stories and smiles. As parents, it's been so reassuring knowing they’ve been in such good hands each day. We’re so grateful for everything the amazing staff have done for our family. Highly recommend Kindercare Bishopdale to anyone looking for a safe, caring, and inspiring place for their little ones!”
