I have just read the media reports letter. I speak on behalf of my son by saying that he is extremely happy at Midcity Centre and so far has been very well taken care of.
He can't wait to get to daycare in the mornings and loves everybody on the infant side.
Thank you so much for taking such good care of my precious son.
My husband and I both work fulltime and have three gorgeous boys aged 6, 4, and 1. Midcity has been with us every step of the way! Our boys all started at Midcity from 6 months of age and we found the care and nurturing our boys received on the baby side just fabulous. We grew very attached to the team there and knew that our boys were happy and safe during working hours. The baby staff are helpful, attentive and caring with the children and parents in a happy environment. The toddler side is more spacious with a team that focuses on the boys individual interests. The art work is fantastic and we always look forwards to viewing the boys portfolios—a toddlers “work in progress”. The kindy team helps children 4 years+ to develop their interests through art, music, play and culture (much the same as the baby and toddlers sides) but with the bonus of a huge area for busy growing bodies and a team of qualified staff who help parents ready their children for school.
We have been consistently impressed at the skills that all of the team brings to our children and the extra mile that the team have gone for us when we have been under pressure. We have, at all times, known that the boys are having fun and are loved and cared for when we are not with them. On top of that the planned outings for the children, the opportunity to take part in gym and music classes, pet days, dress up days, etc etc, add a little something extra to this small and happy centre.
Our family is just one of several families who have had 2+ children at Midcity over many years and remain with them today. Ours is an example of a great 5 1/2 year partnership between family and (Midcity) childcare for the betterment of our children.
Hi, I’m Ashley and we have a 12 month old son, Christian, at Midcity. When I knew I had to return to work—it was extremely stressful finding just the right daycare for Christian. We visited a few and even trialled him for a week at another day care. He was most unhappy at the trialled day care. When I approached Midcity, Kimbeley and Shirlene went out of their way to accommodate us and we felt so at home there. Christian took to Midcity straight away and we have not had a days trouble since then—and he has been there well over six months. I have seen Christian develop heaps and bounds since attending Midcity—and it is definitely his home away from home.
Every morning when we drop him off—we do so with such confidence that he is just where he should be. The staff are absolutely wonderful and take a personal interest in him. They are caring, warm and offer such valuable advice and assistance. Midcity is such a valuable part of Christian’s life and they play an important part in his development and up bringing. I often pop in during the day for a cuddle—and to find him “in heaven” with his friends and having a great time. I end up in tears when I leave (must be the first time mum “syndrome”) - whereas he simply waves goodbye and carries on playing!!!
I am a walking advert for Midcity and know for sure that any additions to our family will become part of the Midcity family in the future.
I often think that I don’t tell the centre or the teachers enough just how great they are and what an awesome job they are doing. It goes without saying—MIDCITY YOU ARE WONDERFUL AND THANK YOU!!!
Dear Staff,
I just wanted to say a big thanks to all the staff at Midcity for taking such good care of my precious babies over the last nine or so years. We'll be back during some of the School Holiday Programmes, so please keep us in mind. L is doing really well settling in at School and his teacher commends the good work Midcity has done in preparing the chidlren for school. L's teacher says that there is a noticable difference in the level of learning seen in L, J and G (who are in the same class). Well done and thanks again.
(Feedback following a school visit with a small group of kindy children)
I wanted to pass on comments from my childs new entrant teachers who said that she was really impressed with the ability of the Midcity Kindy group who were able to sit, concentrate, listen, participate, write their name and complete tasks in the classroom. She said she has not seen that with any other visiting kindy groups. She thought that Midcity must be very supportive and encouraging of their kindy kids helping them prepare really well to start school.
Congratulations to the Midcity Kindy team! Thanks for making my childs transition to school such a smooth and successful one.
Hi my name is Kim and I have two boys enrolled at Midcity Childcare. The oldest Taylor has been at Midcity since 2004 and Caleb joined him in 2005. Choosing the ‘right’ childcare centre for your child can be a very stressful and agonizing decision. This is my experience at Midcity:
Each morning when I leave Taylor and Caleb at Midcity I do so knowing they are in a caring, nurturing, trusting and safe environment. Taylor and Caleb enjoy being at Midcity and have formed some very special and strong bonds with staff. The children often go for walks to the library as a group or to the river to feed the ducks. Gym and music classes are also offered to the older children at a small cost. The team at Midcity is always trying to think of ways to entertain, educate and have fun with the children. The children are given healthy and nutritional food throughout the day.
I find the staff and management team very open and approachable. They are always willing to listen to any concerns no matter how minor it may be. I truly feel they genuinely care for my children’s well-being and use constructive feedback as a way to implement positive change. I am not made to feel ‘silly’ when I ring and check on my children and I am always encouraged to communicate any ideas or suggestions I may have for the centre.
Midcity has become an important part of mine and the boy’s lives. Knowing that I can trust the team at Midcity both professionally and personally helps walking out the gate to go to work a lot easier.
