“It's hard to put into words just how wonderful Kindercare Milford has been for our family. Both of our girls started here at 7 months old, and for them it has been a truly magical place to spend their early years. For me, as a working mum, it was an absolute blessing. I never had to experience that dreaded working-parent guilt, because I knew every single day that my children were not just safe, but were surrounded by genuine love, fun, and incredible learning opportunities. The teachers at Kindercare Milford are the heart and soul of the centre. They are some of the most dedicated, nurturing, and loving people I have ever met. They create an environment where children feel secure and cherished, which allowed my girls to blossom. My oldest formed beautiful, lasting friendships and always came home full of stories about her day and it's a joy to see my youngest, now at the centre, following happily in her big sister's footsteps. Beyond the incredible care, the practical things were just as fantastic. The food is amazing and nutritious, and the learning programmes are simply brilliant. My girls learned SO much – not just letters and numbers, but how to be kind, confident, and resilient. People would constantly comment on how capable and empathetic they were for their age, and I know so much of that was nurtured within the walls of Kindercare. My eldest, now five, is absolutely thriving at school, and I am 100% certain that the incredible foundation she received throughout her years at Kindercare. If you are looking for a childcare centre where your child will be loved, challenged, and cherished, you can't go past Kindercare Milford.”
