My daughter Maddi attended The Nest Early Education Center of Excellence from the time she was just a few months old until she graduated in 2025, and I truly cannot say enough good things about this place. From the very beginning, the Nest felt like home . The level of care, professionalism, and genuine love for the children is immediately apparent. As a parent, trusting someone with your baby is one of the hardest things to do and the Nest has exceeded every my expectation, not just in the early months, but consistently over the years. The teachers and staff are absolutely exceptional. They are warm, attentive, patient, and deeply invested in each child’s development. My daughter was not just “watched” she was nurtured, encouraged, and truly known as an individual . I watched my little girl gain confidence, curiosity, independence, and a genuine love of learning. What really stole my heart was the focus on learning about and truly loving nature which is deeply important to me . Interactions with indigenous elders and excursions to visit to our older generations at local aged care facilities was also a favourite part of Maddi’s time there . The food was amazing. Knowing that my child was eating fresh, nutritious, thoughtfully prepared meals every day was such a huge comfort as well . What truly sets the Nest apart is the culture. The people who work there clearly care not because it’s their job, but because it’s who they are. That kind of environment cannot be faked, and it makes all the difference. Graduating in 2025 was bittersweet for us because the Nest has become such a meaningful part of our lives. I am endlessly grateful for the foundation they helped build for my little girl, and I would recommend the Nest without hesitation, to any parent looking for exceptional care, education, and heart.
