Rose Bay Childcare & Preschool
Responsible staff with an environment of accountability and responsibility make for an incredibly secure and safe environment. It also doesn't hurt that the child carers are genuinely vested in the children and actually care about them to boot! This is more than just a job for them - what more can you ask for?
Four of my kids have gone through this place and I cannot recommend it highly enough.
