I am incredibly grateful to have found this daycare! As a first-time mum, I was so worried about sending my boy to daycare, but now I don’t even need to think twice about it. The educators here particularly Jan, Ruby and Tyson are absolutely terrific and care so much. They have taught our little one so much, including establishing eating and sleep routines, which we always struggled with. He often mentions his educators at home and is always excited to see them again. Their care is absolutely priceless! Thank you to everyone at OAC Hampton-Catherine & Ryan (Thomas E parents)

We are so happy to have found OAC Hampton.The centre itself has a homely feel to it which is just what you want.All the staff at this centre at excellent. The nursery staff in particular Jan, Ruby and Steph were so great with our child when they were in this room. It was great to have consistent staff during the week and also to see a familiar face at drop off in the morning to help our child feel comfortable at a younger age. The toddler room is also great fun and our child gets up to many fun activities during the day with plenty of play based learning an weekly visits from Hey Dee Ho (music program).The new leadership at the centre under Fabi and Tyson is also fantastic. The communication through the app and the weekly newsletter is also great.Don't hestitate to consider this centre for your child!

We are thrilled with the love, care and education our daughter receives from OAC Hampton. Our daughter has settled in so well and has wonderful, caring and supportive educators around her. The campus is small and homely and we are all made to feel like part of the family. Thank you to Bex and the Team for all the passion, care and energy they bring to the campus every day.

We’re really happy with the care and commitment this team has for our children.Despite all the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, this place has come out even better, thanks to management and its staff. We have our little community back! All educators are amazing and I love all the events they setup for us to enjoy with our kids.
