"Thank you for continuing to do an amazing job in the Nursery and with my daughter. I am still amazed and blown away every day at how much my daughter learns and most of it can be attributed to her days and the wonderful activities she does in the Nursery with all of you. I can say for sure if she was home with me every day she would not be exposed to as many different activites and children as to what she is there. An example of how much Franki loves being at day care is the day I went to pick her up and she was the only one left. She did not want to come home with me as all she wanted to do was stay and paint with you. These are the sort of experiences that make me happy she is attending day care at My Stepping Stones.

Hi Nursery Staff, I've attached a parent feedback form and listed a few things that I've really liked and one recent activity I've done with my daughter that other kids might enjoy. I hope this feedback helps. I think you girls do an amazing job and my daughter is clearly very happy at Stepping Stones. I love the day books and look forward to them every day and seeing what she gets up to. Knowing that she's happy and extremely well looked after makes coming to work for me very easy and stress-free. Thank you

I just wanted to thank you and your wonderful team for last night which was so well organized. You continue to surpass my expectations in how you run the centre, echoed by many of the parents I've spoken to. our son is thriving there, and it's because of the fabulous people, culture and A1 resources. Well done!

One word... Fantastic. We could not be happier and the joy we get from seeing Oscar so happy there and for seeing how he is developing and growing through the things that you teach is such treat. Thank you to everyone.

Congratulations on an excellent night on Tuesday. Santina’s talk was really informative as was the School Readiness talk. It certainly made me confident about keeping my daughter at MSS next year. The general vibe seemed to be that everyone is really happy that their children (at least in the Preschool Room) are being taken care of exceptionally well at My Stepping Stones.

The orientation evening was super informative and covered everything we were hoping to be informed about. We liked how Billie-Rose took us through a typical day and reassured families about flexibility while they adapt to the new room.

I cannot tell you how incredibly grateful we are that you care for our Luca is such an exemplary way. It truly warms my heart when I see you all give him such comfort and security - his confidence has truly soared since we started and I am so pleased when he runs in to see you all. He now feels like he belongs and I know that all of your hard work in showing him attention, patience and acceptance has paid such dividends in all facets of his life.
