“Both my kids attend RCCK and they are thriving. All the teachers are amazing and so attentive to the kids needs. There is a great teacher to kid ratio and the environment is just the best. We chose this kindy initially because it was a mixed age centre which is what we wanted having one under 2 and one over 2. My kids are so lucky to be able to go here !”

“If I could give this centre 10 stars I would!! I absolutely love this centre and the teachers. It has a very homey feeling and the child to teacher ratio is great! The classrooms are colorful and full of work the children and teachers did. You just get this good and positive energy as soon as you walk in and to top it off the staff are amazing too! They take such great care of my son. It’s wonderful seeing our son get excited about going to Creche. Amazing staff with so much heart and caring mindset. The teachers really make an effort to engage the kids and develop them in a very individualised way. Exposes your child to different aspects of learning through sensory and play. Great playground! They are very flexible and have great hours. I can see the growth and learning every day! It’s very nice to know that he is in a caring environment while he isn’t home. They are committed to providing a safe, fun, and loving environment and we’re very thankful to Anna and the whole team at RCCK. I would recommend this place to everyone with little ones that is looking for quality care and great prices!”
