A nurturing environment with strong bonds characterizes this childcare setting. The curriculum focuses on diverse experiences, including local outings, to prepare children for future education. Strong support for special educational needs and effective communication with parents are notable strengths. Areas for improvement include providing more opportunities for children to develop independence and focusing more sharply on learning during planned activities.

Creates a happy, caring and fun environment

5 stars

Our daughter has thrived and been extremely happy with lianne, as have we! She is kind, extremely caring and does her utmost to ensure the children in her care thrive with happiness. We have been lucky to get to know Lianne and her lovely family over the past year. Both our children often talk about them and ask if they can go to liannes house on the weekends :) lianne ensures the children do fun trips (farms, soft play, aquarium to name a few) and there are always fun activities going on both inside and outside the home no matter what the weather! She genuinely adores the children in her care and our daughter has built great bonds. They do arts and crafts and celebrate key calendar moments with the utmost fun! We are genuinely so sad that it’s time for our daughter to move on but anyone who has lianne next is extremely lucky.

Thank you so much, it has been an absolute pleasure to have Rae!

Thank goodness!

5 stars

We feel so fortunate to have met Lianne! She has looked after our daughter Emi for the past year, and in that time we have watched her thrive. Lianne's home feels very welcoming and safe, and when not enjoying structured outings (the park, sensory play, aquarium and local fire station to name but a few!), Emi clearly has a wonderful time playing and learning at home with her friends. Lianne has also been so kind and reassuring to us
- we don't have family nearby, and her support has been invaluable.
I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Thank you so much for the lovely review and so glad that Emi is so happy here.

Patient and Positive

5 stars

Leanne’s positive and patient attitude made her an asset to our team at school. She consistently worked with the best interests of the children she was responsible for in mind and placed the highest priority on building effective relationships.
Leanne made learning fun and adapted tasks and activities in the moment to have the best impact. Her behaviour management techniques were very effective and as a result children felt safe and behaved well under her guidance.

God send

5 stars

Lianne is a very loving caring patient and trustworthy lady, I had the most clingy one year old and within a few weeks Lianne had settled her and I would get a happy goodbye instead of a sad one.
My child hadn’t been left with anyone previous to my maternity leave and I’m so thankful I had such a loving patient child care provider upon my return to work and as an added bonus her son is wonderful and it’s so lovely for my child to have a playmate within the setting.

Babysitting and childcare

5 stars

Lianne has provided childcare for my son and daughter on numerous occasions over the years. They find her fun, nurturing and trust her completely.
I feel completely satisfied with her services and my children can't wait to go back to her for the next babysitting duties.
Thank you Lianne, you're doing a grand job.
