My daughter has been attending Grace Village for the past 3 months and had settled really well and clearly enjoys going to daycare. As an anxious mum, I was surprised how comfortable I have been leaving my daughter there every day, but I know she will be so well looked after.She is really flourishing, and the updates each day show just how much thought and care goes into planning activities for the children every week. I am so surprised how much my little one has developed in the few weeks she has been there, especially as she's only part time. Already she is speaking much more and has learned to walk (although she insists on being carried around a lot at daycare!) From the moment I walked in I knew I wanted to send her to this daycare, and we were on the waiting list for a year before a spot opened up, but I am so glad we stayed on the waiting list. It has been the perfect fit for our family and I am so grateful to all the wonderful educators, there really isn't a weak link - they have all be amazing!read more

The team has been fantastic and so supportive and understanding with my daughter which makes a big difference as she was having a tough time this year adjusting to several changes in her world. They have rallied around her and made her feel included and cared for even though she can be quite standoffish at times! I’ve seen her start to open up, talk more and feel more comfortable which is such a reassuring thing to see. They are super organised and great at communicating and sharing insights into my daughter’s day and the nappy hygiene has been A+! You can really tell the ladies are working together as a team and communicate really well and they seem genuinely happy to be there and caring for the kids. The whole team is like a family and it’s such a welcoming and caring environment and village to be a part of.read more

Absolutely love Grace Village. Chantal and Ray as well as all the educators have been amazing from day 1 and we’ve never had a problem at all. My daughter has learnt so much and all her educators have gone above and beyond in every aspect. We were so sad to leave when my daughter started big school but they prepared her so well. Would recommend highly Grace Village - educators, facilities, food and of course curriculum are all amazing.read more

I know they have an awesome routine, the staff make sure they are always well cared for, nutritious food, active play and opportunities for self expression.You guys have outdone yourselves Chantelle and Ray 👏read more

I can't rave enough about Grace Village! Its truly a home away from home for my daughter. She looks forward to going there and that says a lot! More importantly, I feel great about my daughter being at Grace Village, learning, playing and being happy in a safe and secure environment! This would have been possible only because of all the great educators, therefore an extra 'star" for the educators!read more

I enrolled my son to Grace Village in May and he has flourished both socially and academically in these few short months.Not only is the centre an amazing space for the children, they also have a wonderful space for the parents upstairs for us to use if we are lucky enough to be able to work remotely. I often leave the office slightly early to beat traffic and set up my laptop upstairs for an hour before collecting my son, meaning I can work in peace while he is still enjoying himself with his friends. It is so convenient and Chantel and Ray are so approachable and hospitable, they make you feel right at home. I can't recommend Grace Village highly enough and its a true rarity as it caters for us working parents as well as providing excellent care for the children.(Also Ray makes a pretty mean coffee in the morning!)read more

Such a beautiful centre in which I know my child is being nurtured, educated and supported through his growing years. The director welcomes you like family, as do all the staff. The staff provide a creative, developmentally appropriate, and educationally sound environment for my child to grow. They update us everyday on what our child is doing through pictures and videos via an app, which we love to see. At the end of the day we are greeted by smiling staff who communicate constantly and keep us up to date with everything! The centre is the best by far we have ever seen, the centre is very up to date/modern and yet it feels so homely.read more
