What Families Are Saying

My child is now 8 years old and attends East Hamersley OSHC. Since he started kindy I’ve had to put him in before and after school care - this has been a long ordeal for him since he was so young and I empathise with him the long day. As I am a nurse and work early shifts this is our only option. Since enrolling my son into the East Hamersley after school program he has been so enthusiastic about going, when I collect him he begs me to stay longer because his friends are also there. He also reported to me that he enjoys the school care program so much because they are allowed to have free play and eat whenever they want to, they aren’t forced to sit down and eat in a structured way like he’s experienced at other places. He loves attending the after school program he loves the environment, the kids and educators. The educators are so friendly and professional and I really appreciate their efforts. I never worry when my son is at the after school as I know he will always be enjoying himself and having the best time. Thanks so much for all the team do.

I wanted to share how wonderful all the staff were and my son's first experience with OSHC was awesome and he felt safe, comfortable and happy!

Very happy with the service, we always feel welcomed when we walk in and I know my kids are in safe hands.

We couldn't be happier with the vacation care provided by OSHC. The kids have loved the different activities and are happy to go back every day.  The staff are fantastic, caring, kind and they sent a daily update on how the kids were getting on. We'll definitely be coming back to OSHC again for future holiday cover.

I am very grateful that Care for Kids started at Burns Beach Primary School this year. The educators are warm, patient and caring and they are led by an approachable and communicative centre manager. Little touches like photos, the weekly newsletter and asking my child what he enjoys doing are really appreciated as a parent. There are always a variety of inside and outside activities to enjoy and I feel comforted knowing my child is in a safe and nurturing environment.

Goollelal OSHC has been a fantastic choice for our son during vacation care. He genuinely looks forward to attending and always comes home happy and engaged after a day filled with a variety of fun activities and regular excursions. What really stands out is how supportive and flexible the educators are. They consistently encourage his enthusiasm and are always happy to involve him when he wants to lend a hand. It’s reassuring to see how valued and included he feels. We truly appreciate the welcoming environment and the effort the team puts into making every day enjoyable and meaningful for the children

Wow, you guys make actual meals for the children!

Just wanted to say wow. The centre looks amazing. So many engaging activities for the kids, my boys didn't want to leave this afternoon. Staff were very friendly and supporting throughout this new transition. Well done Care for Kids

Dear Care for Kids Staff, Yesterday you told me that my boy is adored by you all, and it truly warmed my heart. So today we wanted to share just how much you already mean to us. My boy LOVES OSHC. He wishes every school day was an OSHC day, and every OSHC day he tells me I have to let him stay there for a LONG time. In the first week, I brought him by for a visit so he could see where he'd be going after school- and I couldn't get him to leave! From the very beginning, he was taken under your wings. The quirky character you're all getting to know is only coming out because he feels safe and nurtured. You are an amazing group of people. I genuinely couldn't have hoped for anyone better to be caring for our boy. It's hard to put into words what makes it so special- especially when I only see about 10 minutes of it each week- but it's a feeling. It's what I feel when I come to the gate. What I feel when I see his beaming smile. What I feel when I see you all having a good time engaged with the kids and each other. It's a feeling that everything is just right-and that comes back to each of you. I’m already endlessly grateful for the care, energy, and joy you bring to my boy and all the other kids. Thank you for everything you do- you've already made such a beautiful impact on our little boy.

I just wanted to take a moment to send a general thank you to the whole team at Care for Kids for the genuinely collaborative and caring approach you bring every day. In particular, I’d love to acknowledge Kelly and Maia, Isla’s current educators. They are absolutely amazing, and we feel very lucky to have them supporting her. We’ve had such a positive experience at Care for Kids Kingsley and often speak highly of the centre to others. It’s been so lovely seeing all the educational activities Isla is involved in through the Storypark updates. It really feels like she’s learning so much, thriving, and most importantly, feels completely comfortable and happy being there, which says a lot about the environment you’ve all created. I just wanted to reach out and say thank you and let you know how grateful we are. 🙏🏻😊

I am extremely happy with the care provided to my children. They truly enjoy every moment they spend there and always come home with happy smiles and full of stories. The staff are incredibly patient, kind, and understanding, they make sure they also follow all laws in any aspect. That gives me great peace of mind as a parent. It's clear they genuinely care about the children and create a fun, safe, and supportive environment for them. Thank you for making such a positive difference in my kids' lives, I truly appreciate everything you do.

We’ve been really happy with how things have been running. The centre has been clean and well organised every day, and it’s been great to see the facilities kept so tidy. The educators have been fantastic - friendly, caring, and genuinely involved with the kids. It’s lovely to see them playing with the children, keeping them engaged, and making sure everyone feels safe and included. We also really appreciated the strong focus on safety and supervision, including maintaining the right number of educators for the children at all times. The healthy food and snacks throughout the day have been another big plus. The vacation care program itself has been excellent, with a great range of fun activities that suited kids of all ages. Our child has really enjoyed attending and looked forward to each day.

We have had such a positive experience with Care for Kids OSHC at Burns Beach. The team consistently provides a warm, safe and engaging environment, and it’s clear how much care and thought goes into the programs you offer. Mahi genuinely enjoys her time there, and as a parent, that peace of mind is invaluable. Knowing she is not only well looked after but also happy and engaged makes a big difference to our daily routine. The staff are always approachable, kind and attentive, and it really shows in the way the children respond to them. We are very grateful for the support your team provides to families, and the role you play in creating a nurturing and inclusive space for the children.

Great communication. So Helpful. My son always excited to go and has a great time.

We have a group chat of over 50+ parents, and they are raving about you guys on the group chat. You will get a lot of children from this class and the other classes

Thankyou so much for making our daughters birthday so much fun. She had a great day. Also on behalf of my husband and I we would like to let you know how happy oy we are with the service that you provide not only for the kids but also for us adults too. No one is ever to busy to say hello/good by, offer help or smiles. We both feel very comfortable leaving our child in your care. Thankyou

We absolutely recommend Care for Kids. From day 1, the team was communicative - sending updates after any tough drop offs, very diligent with gates and security, and always offering such a wide range of games and activities to suit even the kindy age kids through to older. We love that they have so many different outdoor opportunities also throughout the year with sports, water play and playground use. Any administrative requests we have had we also get quick feedback and just generally have had such a positive experience. Thanks Olivia and team!

Great communication, so helpful. My son is alwasy excited to go to OSHC and has a great time.

Our experience with Care for Kids OSHC Burns Beach has been excellent. The team is caring, professional, and always welcoming. We really appreciate the variety of activities and the daily updates. It’s clear a lot of thought goes into making each day fun and engaging! A special thank you to Olivia for her kindness and dedication, which truly makes a difference to our family. We highly recommend this service.

I just want to say a big thank you to all of your staff at Grandis! They have been absolutely amazing in helping my child adjust and transition to Care for Kids, and I can already see how amazing your service is compared to the previous! Madi being such an amazing leader as well as a kind educator who builds strong relationships fast has definitely been a key part of him settling in as well.

Care for Kids has been an absolute breath of fresh air. The staff are fantastic, genuinely engaged with the children and always creating a wide range of fun, thoughtful activities. For the first time, my son actually wants to go to after-school care and vacation care, which says everything. The team really takes the time to understand each child as an individual - your child is never just a number. We’ve been incredibly impressed and would highly recommend Care for Kids to any family.

Very happy with the service, we always feel welcomed when we walk in and I know my kids are in safe hands.

This classroom is amazing, I love the way you have decorated the room! Maddison doesn't want to leave OSHC. I love this OSHC, it's so fun.

My two girls love going here all the staff are amazing, highly recommended
