Go the extra mile
What Parents Are Saying...

"Will go the extra mile to support families in need..."

My daughter has been going to Showgrounds Children’s Centre since she was seven months old. She is nearly three now, and we are always happy with the warmth, affection and the level of education she has been receiving. The educators are skilled at building rapports with families and it shows.

The service itself is clean and well-kept, and educators are well trained in COVID safe practices. Loveleen, the centre director, is a lovely, helpful person and will go the extra mile to support families in need.

The most important thing to us at the end of the day is to know we are leaving our little one in capable and loving hands, and that is always the case.

The best support
What Parents Are Saying...

"They are getting the best support they can get..."

I have never met a team of caring people like these guys! They go above and truly beyond for my kids’ needs. Their dedication and support is really something!

I have no doubt that when my babies are with them that they are getting the best support they can get! I would 100% recommend them to anyone.

What Parents Are Saying...

"Home away from home for my two children..."

Home away from home for my two children. They love being there so much they won't leave when I go to pick them up. A wonderful centre with caring staff, healthy food (made on premises), indoor and outdoor play spaces.
