Here's what our families have to say
We absolutely love Only About Children Geebung! The educators are so caring, patient, and genuinely invested in each child’s growth. My daughter has thrived since joining the Kindy room, she’s more confident and excited to go every week. The learning programs are creative and engaging, and we love participating in the monthly “Show and Share” with different topics each time. Communication with parents is excellent, and the Manager and Assistant Manager are amazing. I recommend OAC Geebung 100%! It truly feels like a second home for our family.
We've had a very positve experience at OAC Melbourne Central. My child has been attending for few months, and during this time, I've seen such a wonderful change in him - he's became more open, confident and excited to learn!
As a parent, I can truly feel that the team is very professional and genuinely cares about the children. I've received lots of useful suggestions on how to guide my child's learning at home. I also really appreciate how the team collaborates with parents to create a safe and suppotive environment for the children to learn and play.
A big thank you to Negar, Katie, Precious and Xinyu, you guys are amzing!
My daughter has been in OAC Turramurra childcare for a year, I really appreciate their caring, joyful, and supportive environment where my daughter has learned, and gained so much confidence! Teachers are so friendly and loving I would recommend this childcare to all my friends.
Our son has been attending here since we moved back to Australia. We could not be happier with the management, educators, facilities and culture of this centre. They provide regular communication, have great community events that involve families and are also open to sharing with children about all the different cultures involved in the community. In the last few months the kids have experienced Diwali Halloween and Christmas. I was also surprised by the amazing playground that they have in their location. But above all it is the educators that make my child’s day. He even gets upset if he is sick and can’t go. I can’t recommend the care and education highly enough. While all of our sons educators are fantastic I have got to give a special mention to Dave who is the best male educator we have ever experienced.
My daughter has been attending Only About Children Asquith since she was 11 months old, and we’ve had such a positive experience. Every educator in each room is genuinely caring, responsible, and truly passionate about their work and the children. The outdoor play area is also spacious and well designed, giving the kids plenty of room to explore and have fun. We’re very grateful for the wonderful environment they’ve created.
My daughter commenced at Only About Children about 3 years ago when she was 4 months old and has continued there ever since. Our family only have positive things to say. Our daughter has loved her time at OAC Tarneit and we will certainly miss it as she transitions to kinder. The team and educators are exceptional and show genuine care for the kids, I have found their educational programs amazing for her development and she has learnt and grown far beyond our expectations thanks to the programs put in place at the centre. We are extremely grateful for the OAC Tarneit team!
They have been great with our kids. The staff are very friendly
We've been with OAC (previously Maples) since my youngest child was 1. The team at OAC have always been fantastic. My children have created close bonds with many of the educators and throughout the transition to OAC from Maples Hayley and her team have maintained their continued care. After touring many of the other childcares around Mernda, I'm so glad we chose this one. My children have created lasting friendships throughout their journeys in the different rooms that will hopefully last a lifetime.
We’ve had such a wonderful experience at Only About Children Mernda! The educators have been amazing with our daughter Shamaya — so patient, caring, and genuinely invested in her learning and happiness. She has grown so much in confidence and independence since joining.
The team always takes time to greet her by name and share updates with us, which makes us feel included and reassured. The environment is safe, clean, and full of fun, creative activities that Shamaya absolutely loves.
We’re so grateful for all the love and support from the staff — Only About Children Mernda truly feels like a second home for Shamaya! Highly recommend this centre to any parent looking for a nurturing and professional childcare experience.
I couldn’t recommend OAC Concord West more, it truly ticks every box!
All the staff are absolutely wonderful. A big shout-out from me to Tracy and Jyoti in the nursery room — they are incredibly professional and take such great care of the kids, supporting their development with love and dedication. And to Aish, for managing everything with such passion and care.
The centre is always clean, and the chef prepares amazing, fresh meals every day. They even bake cakes in-house to celebrate the children’s birthdays — such a lovely touch!
The outdoor area is spacious and beautifully equipped, providing plenty of room for the kids to play and explore.
Leaving a young child at childcare can be stressful, but the team here goes above and beyond every expectation. We feel so lucky to have found this centre!
I know the childcare sector and the people in it are experiencing challenging times right now, but the team at OAC Northcote continue to show up every day with such care, patience, and genuine warmth. Our child has been so well supported there, and it really shows in how happy and confident they've become.
We’d like to thank all the wonderful people who’ve helped shape our child into the bright little spark they are today — especially Chiara, Zoe, and Joe in N2. It’s been unreal to watch our little one grow and develop under their care.
We’re so grateful for everything this amazing team does, and will always remember the team at OAC Northcote as a second family.
We have put two children (one currently still enrolled) through this center and we cannot be more grateful and appreciative of the extraordinary work of the carers. Shout out to Keyla, Shan, Lucy, Annabeth, Grace, Kevin, Scarlett & Brittany who have been phenomenal to the development of our children. I am eternally grateful. If these carers are around, you will know your children are in the best care.
