Day Care Robina/ Mudgeeraba

[bambinomama]

Hi everyone, I am looking into daycare for my 16 month old; I have looked at Whispeing Gully, Smarter Kids Mudgeeraba and La Petite, I think they all seem good- Smarter Kids seemed quite organised and structured, Whispering Gully a little more "free play" based. The prices vary hugely, and none include lunch (citing allergies etc as a reason) Has anyone taken their littlies to these centres recently and if so, what was your feedback? My littlie has alot of energy and loves art, dance, outdoor play etc; they all say they do programs but it is so hard to tell without enrolling (and paying an "admin fee" of $20-$100- what happens if the centre isn't right for you? I noticed the staff at two of the centres seemed more stable and older, but that could have just been the day I went in (nothing against younger staff, more so constant staff changes as I've heard are frequent in some centres- I just want stable staff so my little one can adjust, he takes time to "take" to people).
If anyone can share their feedback on these centres or even others in Mudgeeraba, possibly Worongary or Mudgee side of Robina, I'd really appreciate their help :):flowerz:

It is hard trying to find a good centre. And i understand what u mean until they are enrolled and actively going is difficult to know what the centre is really like.
We sent our daughter to whispering gully the one closest to the highway side, from 5months until 18months. Found the centre good in terms of free play and they did try and follow baby's routine. We only took her out as we found family daycare better for us personally and a better ratio. Family day care is great if you can find the right carer for your family.
If you have any questions feel free to msg me.
