OAC has been fantastic for our daughter. Nathan has the centre running so smoothly and lots of extra activities for the children to enjoy and experience. I can’t recommend this centre highly enough.

Friendly staff and teachers, even billing and head office staff are always willing to help with patience and understanding. My child is happy, she comes home with stories to tell and excitement for the next day returning to school. Communication and support are great from the teachers side, they share daily photos and activities with parents. Best decision I have made for a school, would always recommend.

My son has attended OAC Asquith for 2 years now, starting at 5 months old. He left for 2 months due to no fault of OAC, but has returned in the last week along with my daughter (6mo) who has attended for the last month. We originally selected the centre for its large open spaces and undercover outdoor area, but have grown to love it for so many reasons. Particularly in the past month since my daughter started, there have been continued developments and positive improvements which reflect not only the love and care of the Director and educators, but their openness to community feedback and working closely with families.

We love that OAC feels like a family. In the past few weeks alone, there has been an even greater shift towards positive change. There has been ongoing open communication, a growing sense of community through the sharing of special celebrations and events, and strategic changes to how they foster happy, safe and engaging learning environments as a reflection of their goal to meet the changing needs of the service. We are seeing a happy toddler come home who is excited about returning, a baby who is comfortable, giggly and reaching for her educators, and a mummy and daddy who can leave their children with ease knowing they are loved, cared for and thriving while we are gone.

On top of developing quality learning programs and delivering comprehensive daily updates, the food is superb. The chef is second to none- providing nutritious and well thought out meals, and even taking the time to create individualised meals as we introduce solids to our baby.

We could not recommend OAC Asquith more highly. Nathan and the team are creating a home away from home for our little people.

My 2yo daughter is 3 months in to starting at Only About Children in Asquith and we are so happy. She has settled in well with the help of the great educators and in such a short time have seen her grow in her language skills - especially her singing! It’s a great centre, with a massive undercover outdoor area and food menu, but mostly it’s the solid, welcoming, caring, genuine and consistent team working there, which is why we love it so much. It’s not only important for my daughter but for me, knowing she is happy and being looked after so well! Thank you to the team for all you do everyday!

Love the daily updates

When looking for childcare for my 1 year old it was essential to me that she went somewhere with a curriculum that starts from nursery age. OAC ticks all the boxes, she has settled in fantastically and I am thrilled that their programs flow through to Preschool so I won’t need to move her in the future.

We are also huge fans of the daily report via the app showing all the skills she been working on while having fun during the day.

My boys had a marvellous time during their time in OAC! The teachers got to know their personalities, strengths & weaknesses and created an environment for them to thrive in. It always smelled so amazing walking into the centre with the chef cooking up another one of his delicious dishes! Admin staff are also always so kind and helpful. Thank you OAC for caring for my boys so wonderfully. We will surely miss you! Come follow us in Tassie!

I can't recommend OAC Asquith highly enough. We love the OAC brand programming, and the director and educators are so enthusiastic and caring, really seeking to know and support the kids to have the best experience possible. The indoor and outdoor spaces are expansive and very stimulating for the kids' development.

My daughter attends OAC Asquith and we are very happy with the educators and the management.
It is a beautiful centre with the huge lush green undercover playground area. Kids can enjoy and play around even if it is raining. The wide and spacious car park makes the drop off and pick ups convenient. The centre is clean and tidy with in-house chef preparing healthy and delicious meals.

The educators are wonderful and are passionate about their job. Can’t thank them enough for the work they are doing!!
Mel is great at managing the overall operations especially communications. A big shout out to Surya - Assistant Director who ensures smooth functioning of the centre. I have seen her helping out the educators when they need a hand and also assisting parents with their queries. With always a smile on her face, Surya provides friendly atmosphere at daycare.

Only About Children Asquith has been fantastic. The teachers and staff are amazing and my son has blossomed since attending this centre. His confidence has grown and he has grown up so much. I highly recommend this centre - they go above and beyond. Thank you.

Our daughter attends here and loves it. The staff are professional, caring and friendly, and the centre director Mel is a great asset to the team - always happy to have a chat, to take on board feedback and queries, and to resolve issues (not that we've had any major ones).

My son adores Little Learning School Asquith, and so do we!!

The carers are amazing, friendly and give a great rundown of my sons day everytime we pick him up. Most importantly he loves his daycare days, the acticties they do, his friends & carers.

We also love the big undercover outside area, meaning there is still plenty of outside play even if the weather is not perfect. Family events are run regularily (Christams Party, Easter hat parade, grandparents day, etc) and are always fun for everyone who attends.

Mel is always soo helpful, and happy to accomodate a casual day at last minute if she can.

We would not go anywhere else.

Yan

Campus Cook

Yan has been our chef for four years and has become the welcoming face for children and families as they enter the campus each day. As each child arrives, they are eager to see what drawing Yan has in store. You see, every afternoon once Yan has finished for the day, he stays back and creates a chalk artwork for the children for the next day. It has become an institution. But that’s not all. He doesn’t forget the parents, sharing on a separate chalk board a collection of interesting facts, or terrible ‘dad’ jokes, which I’m sure are shared by our parents when they arrive at their workplace. Just don’t get stuck talking about Liverpool FC!

Yan has a Malaysian background, and his culinary skills are second to none. Ironically, his favourite dish to create is Bolognaise. He even manages to prepare and provide meals for the team each day, both vegetarian and meat based. We are so lucky to have such a talent.
