“We have been part of the Kindercare family for the past seven years, and the care and love both my children have received have far exceeded my expectations of what a preschool offers. Through Kindercare, my children have become confident, independent, and demonstrate strong growth mindsets—qualities that have been nurtured every day by their teachers. The teachers have equipped them with essential life skills such as clear communication, kindness, emotional regulation, and, most importantly, the freedom to simply be kids and have fun. We often hear them say things like, “I can’t do this… yet,” “I am strong, brave, and I can do it,” or “I need to take some deep breaths to calm down,” and “We need to be kind”—all reflections of the values modelled and celebrated at preschool. Thank you for setting such a strong and loving foundation for our children. We are deeply grateful for your care, guidance, and kindness, and we will miss you all terribly. Stephanie & Gareth, Bradley & Ryleigh”

“My daughter went to Burwood Kindercare from 2 to 5yrs and absolutely loved it. Through covid they were so caring in the routines with the lockdown rules and keeping everything normal. Imogen thrived in the centre and loved having the same set of familiar teachers and relievers the whole time she attended, I can’t rave about the centre enough. A lot of the reason I picked it was because of how welcoming it is but also the inclusion of food provided by Tamara the cook, it really helped my daughter try new foods and sit and enjoy mealtimes. Definitely check it out to see how it fits for your child.”

“We are forever grateful for the loving care our daughter has received for the last 4 years at Burwood Kindercare. We could not think of a better start to her formal education and are so pleased we chose this centre. Ellie and the wider team have made these years very memorable for us as a family. Exposure to so many wonderful learning experiences, opportunities and cultures has been a highlight. Our daughter has experienced superb care from all of the kind teachers at each stage of her pre-school journey. They all quickly built a rapport with her and us as her parents. The changes through the learning rooms were always carefully planned and managed to ensure our daughter was well supported. We were always consulted as to what we wanted in our daughter's learning plan throughout these formative years and our voice was appreciated. We want to acknowledge the wonderful job the wider team has done to nurture our daughter's love of learning and her inquisitive mind.  We have made lasting connections and friendships and appreciate the sense of belonging we have experienced at Burwood Kindercare. Aaron and Stephanie”

“Our Son Toby ASD,nonverbal, now 5 will be staying school soon, And if it was not with help from Kindercare burwood, I think Toby would not be really few things they have help with, They have great communication between themselves and our family with helping Toby. Toby was included in all activities, we never felt he was excluded in any way would help to look for ways to make it more successful experience for him. We are 100% over the moon for Ellie & Mel & the wrist of the team who have gone out of there way to help our toby , there are a few little special things they did for our Toby, with his eating, to playing games, that only Toby could do.And they explain to all the children why Toby would be the only one that could go under the Parshoot because it meant he was involved & participating. How beautiful is that 😍 I could go on & on but you will see for yourself when you sign up, best move we did Thanks team Love Toby & co ❤️”
