We had made the call to move centres, and we were able yo do a walk through the same day we called. Upon arrival we were super impressed with the space and layout, making the most of the area. The educators are vibrant and bright, the children are happy, the kitchen always have beautiful food being prepared fresh. I love that there is so much time and effort put into the weeks, there is always something exciting each week for the kids to learn and discover. Beth had created an incredible culture for families and workers. Each point of contact has been a positive experience.

Both my children LOVE Little Charlie's. Beth and all the educators offer a warm and welcoming environment where my children have been able to thrive. We have been Little Charlie's since 2020, and have loved being part of the growing and loving community!

Beth and the team are amazing with the children at Little Charlie. Our daughter was there for 3 years and she still has fond memories of the centre, the staff and friends. Our little boy is now attending and comes home very happy every time. The team has helped so much with his transition. We would definitely recommend Little Charlie and their wonderful team for your little ones!

I can't say enough positive things about little Charlie’s! My 3yo had been going since she was 9 months old and from the moment we toured the facility, I was impressed by the warm atmosphere. The educators are incredibly caring and attentive to each child's needs, creating a nurturing environment that fosters learning and development. Both my girls have thrived since attending little Charlie's. Overall, I highly recommend little Charlie’s Daycare to any parent looking for a safe, stimulating, and loving environment for their child. It's clear that the educators genuinely care about the children and their well-being, making it a wonderful place for kids to grow and learn.
