My child has been there for a few years now, and they truly are our village. The teachers are so lovely and always willing to help. They feel like family, and their support is essential to us. My child loves it, and even when we considered moving to a different area, we decided to keep our child at New Shoots.

My little one has been at this wonderful centre for almost a year and we couldn't be happier! The teachers and administration are truly world-class, with exceptional communication skills that are both professional and reassuring to parents. I especially want to highlight centre director Jaimee, whose outstanding management and communication skills have made all the difference. She consistently shows genuine care and support for our child's individual needs while embracing our entire family. Her dedication and compassion are remarkable. This centre has become like a second home for us. We feel incredibly blessed to be part of such a caring community. Highly recommend to any parent looking for exceptional childcare!

I run a sport and movement programme for the children at New Shoots Hillcrest and have loved working with the centre, their staff and children. The staff always do the utmost to ensure the children's needs are met and they are well cared for and I can see the strong relationships and nurturing bonds built between staff and child to allow them to thrive and grow in the environment. The facilities are great and enable the children to express themselves both indoors and outdoors and build friendships with the children in their respective rooms.
