Such an amazing centre with a truly caring team! My son was very unsettled at another centre, and we really needed an environment that understood his needs. The whole team here went above and beyond my expectations. My son and I couldn’t be happier, the staff genuinely care about the children and their individual needs, giving him the attention he requires. We’ve even noticed a huge improvement at home. I honestly can’t recommend this centre enough, and I’m so grateful to have found them. ❤️❤️❤️

From the moment we walked in the door, our family was greeted with such warmth and kindness. My daughter settled in at central kids within minutes. It was a pleasure to see and feel the love and connection the team of teachers have for all the children in their care. The centre is constantly calm, oozing a harmonious connection from indoors to the outside environment. When you step outside you are greeted with a beautiful big outdoor area with real grass, trees, mud play areas, swings and a very spacious sandpit. But most importantly it's the relationships you see forming between the children, teachers and the environment. The reciprocal trust and appreciation for each other is everywhere you look around the centre. You can really see these teachers put a lot of dedication, thought and beauty into their space. I highly recommend central kids. We feel like we're home here. Thank you central kids.

This kindy meets each child’s individual needs. I visited many centres when choosing the perfect space for my then 1 year old as a nervous first time mum. Now aged 4 she has gained so much confidence, learnt so many skills and become her own little person thanks to the patience, care and knowledge of the amazing teachers. The centre has small ratios, great indoor and outdoor areas to suit all interests and ages. Even the grandmas love this place.
