Recent families praise clean facilities, engaged educators, and varied activities; some note staff move quickly on concerns. Older complaints describe understaffing, poor communication, high turnover, and supervision gaps during busy periods. The centre has improved communication practices (prioritising face-to-face engagement over daily notes) but mixed experiences persist regarding space and staffing levels.
