REVIEWS
What Our Parents Say
You know you’re on to a winner when the only time the kids cry is when they’re getting picked up and don’t want to leave! We are so lucky that our kids get to spend time each week at Canterbury Childcare, and we can't thank them enough for the amazing work they all do.
It’s not easy leaving your children at childcare, but the team at Canterbury Childcare make it easy. Despite the pit at the bottom of your stomach, you have a great sense of relief knowing your children are well known, well cared for, and well taught. The team treats each child as an individual and helps them reach their full potential.
To say we are happy with CCCC would be an understatement. The team are more like an extension of our family than a group of highly qualified care staff. You have shown a mum who was hesitant about childcare that not only can our little guy be cared for by someone else, but he’s thriving both socially and developmentally because of Canterbury Childcare Centre.
We all love Canterbury Childcare Centre! The wonderful team creates a caring and stimulating environment, making drop-offs so easy. The educators are lovely and have been at CCCC for a while, so they know all the children really well. We really appreciate how Sally and the team create a great sense of community and provide advice and support with challenges like toddler tantrums, sleeping, and toilet training.
Our daughter has been at Canterbury Childcare for three years, and we have been so impressed with the caring nature of the educators. She often tells us how much she loves childcare and the staff there. The daily updates and photos allow us to discuss her day at home. The small size of the centre and the consistency of staff really help, making it the perfect environment for our child while we go to work.
