Before coming to Guardian Point Cook West, I was quite anxious. Many of my friends who sent their kids to other childcare centers told me their children often got sick, cried a lot, refused to sleep or eat, and took weeks to settle in. That’s why I thought I need to try a different school.
Today is only my 1-year-5-month-old daughter’s second day here, and she actually had a nap! Although it wasn’t as long as at home, I’m already so happy and relieved. The patient teachers and the warm, friendly environment make her feel safe and happy — that’s why she could settle in so quickly.
Yesterday was her very first day, and after I left, the teachers told me she cried for about seven minutes, then started playing, even did some painting, and had lunch by herself using a spoon! I honestly couldn’t believe it, because at home she usually refuses to eat properly. She didn’t nap at childcare on the first day, so I picked her up early, thinking she would need much more time to adapt — but today she already slept there!
Once again, I want to thank all the teachers. I’ll keep updating my review as time goes on. I truly believe that once you send your child here, you’ll have nothing to worry about. My daughter is usually quite sensitive and has high needs, yet this center has completely exceeded my expectations. For any parents who are still hesitating — don’t! This childcare is wonderful.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Judith, for sharing such a detailed and heartfelt review. It’s wonderful to hear how quickly your daughter has settled in, especially given your initial concerns. We’re so pleased that the warm and friendly environment, along with the patience of our educators, has helped her feel safe and comfortable. Hearing that she’s already napping, eating independently, and engaging in activities like painting is such a great milestone! Your trust and appreciation mean so much to us, and we’ll continue to support her as she grows and learns. Thank you again for your kind words and recommendation!
