JIAWEI LI26 days ago

The manager sent an email to parents stating that there would be an opportunity to receive a gift card if they left a 5-star review along with a photo. However, I apologise for leaving a low rating. This was not done out of frustration, but rather to provide an honest reflection of my daughter’s experience during her time at the centre. My daughter attended the centre from November 2024 to May 2025. She was only 7.5 months old when she started and had no prior childcare experience, so she was placed in the baby room. Over time, I noticed a high staff turnover, which meant my daughter was constantly having to adjust to new caregivers. For such a young baby, this frequent change made it difficult for her to settle and feel secure. In addition, communication with the manager via email was limited, with only some messages receiving responses, and overall communication was not very timely. More importantly, I personally felt that the management within the baby room at that time was somewhat disorganised. I later became aware that several staff members also had concerns about this. On one occasion, I personally witnessed a room leader attempting to force a baby who was unwilling to drink milk, which was particularly concerning to me. I would like to acknowledge that there were some staff members who were genuinely excellent, caring, and dedicated, and I truly appreciate their efforts. Ultimately, however, I decided to transfer my daughter to another childcare centre. I am not aware of the current situation in the baby room, nor of how the other rooms are operating now. My intention in leaving this review is not to criticise unfairly, but to hope that the centre will take these concerns seriously and continue to improve staff management and overall care quality.
