Our one year old loves his educator friends at little stars! We are first time parents and we were so nervous about leaving him in care at seven months old, however, he quickly grew from only wanting mum and dad to loving his time at Little Stars. It is beautiful and reassuring to see our shy baby reach out to excited educators for a hold and hug. We were absent for three weeks and upon recognising the building, bub beamed brilliantly while babbling and pumping his arms in excitement. Everyday there are familiar, friendly faces who are genuinely happy and excited to see him. It is also so refreshing to see management so active in creating engaging opportunities for our babies. When we pick him up he is immersed in play and activities with interactive educators who also allow and encourage him to explore while providing an active, caring presence. We're so happy - our bub is thriving at Little Stars!

Our children attend Little Stars, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. My children — especially my oldest — struggle with change and need time to feel comfortable with new people and routines. Settling into childcare has not always been easy for him. The staff at Little Stars were incredibly understanding, patient and kind. They truly took the time to respect his pace, giving him the space and reassurance he needed to feel safe and confident. The difference has been amazing. Now, in the mornings, the first thing he asks is whether we’re going to Little Stars — and he actually cheers when I say yes. That alone speaks volumes. The educators are absolutely incredible, and I feel so grateful knowing my children are cared for with such warmth and compassion. I couldn’t recommend this childcare centre highly enough. Thank you!

Angelica, Ghiwa & all the educators at Little Stars are fantastic. Our child is so excited and happy to go to daycare here. Every educator takes their roles with a care and commitment that blows us away. The incursions and excursions bring so much joy to learning. Bush Kinder, community access, safety and health education, emergency services education, the list is endless and it is such invaluable information to teach from early ages. A beautiful and inclusive centre where parents are welcome to express and share their concerns and thoughts, and are encouraged to ask questions. With hosted family and open days for parent to mingle and connect, and parent and educator meeting to discuss developmental needs. Truly an incredible centre and one we are so glad we have found.

Little Stars has been such an incredible place for my daughter. I would highly recommend. They have excellent communication, particularly around informing on incidents. The educators have a genuine care for the kids. My daughter has loved going, she never cries going in and openly extends her arms to go to them every day. They always have fun activities planned and support their growth and next steps. They have the feel of a caring family owned establishment compared to a more clinical feel. In terms of educators, Jemma, Pretty, Bianca and Marianna have been particularly amazing to my daughter and we can't be more appreciative.

First of all, I would like to say thank you for all your hard work in making this place a wonderful learning centre. My children started attending Little Stars since they were one. It was a good start until I noticed that it's not the same since many staff left and I spotted a random man in the centre. However, I was deciding whether to leave Little Stars at that time during the abnormalities. I am happy that I made the choice to stay under the new management t by the Ayad family. It has been. A great improvement seeing renovations of the whole centre, investment in learning materials and amazing curriculum. Now my children are 4 years old and they just love going to Little Stars. They get excited to go see their friends and educators. All educators including those who left and currently work at Little Stars have been amazing and truly caring. I do look forward to seeing new exciting and fun learning experiences that Little Stars and staff offer to the children. Keep up the good work guys! Ampira

The educators and staff at Little stars have been warm and welcoming from day one. I toured a few child care centres before coming here and I immediately felt the difference. I felt reassured leaving my son in the care of the wonderful staff in the wombat room. Bianca’s caring nature is amazing, she is a true gem and cares so much for all the children. My son has an amazing time each week and I’m amazed at all the activities he does each time.

Owner's response

Thank you for your kind words! We're thrilled your son enjoys his time with our wonderful staff.

Little stars has been a remarkable place for both my son and daughter. Since enrolling them here, I've witnessed tremendous growth in their learning and development. The progress they have made is nothing short of impressive. The staff at Little stars feel like a second family to us. They are incredibly warm, welcoming, and genuinely invested in the well-being and education of the children. This nurturing environment has made a significant difference in my children's confidence and eagerness to learn. One of the standout aspects of Little stars is the quality of education. The curriculum is thoughtfully designed to prepare the kids not just for school but for their future. The teaching methods are engaging and effective, ensuring that each child understands and retains what they learn. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with our experience at Little stars . Knowing that my children are in such capable and caring hands gives me immense peace of mind. I wholeheartedly recommend little stars to any parent looking for a supportive and enriching educational environment for their children.

We have had the most wonderful experience at Little Stars. I can’t thank the staff and educators enough for their friendly nature and genuine care for the children. My daughter absolutely loves her time at daycare. Whenever I drop her off she happily goes to one of the educators for a cuddle to settle in, so I never feel guilty when I leave as I know she is in wonderful hands. And when I come to pick her up she is sometimes having so much fun that she’s not ready to leave. Sending your kids to daycare (and choosing the right one for your family) is always a daunting thing, but we always feel so welcome whenever we pick up or drop off our daughter. Thank you again to Little Stars for taking such wonderful care of our daughter, she is absolutely thriving there!

My granddaughter is in the Wombat room and she loves little stars. Every week when we see her she talks about little stars and is excited to go every day . I have also noticed that the educators in the Wombat room actively teaching her to toilet train and focusing on achieving her goals. As grand parents we always worry about our grand kids happiness and well-being . But since our grand daughter started attending little Stars we feel more relaxed and never been happier . As for our grand daughter she always has a smile on her face and doesn’t look tired . After all it’s a home away from home . We are very happy that my family chose Little Stars for her
