This review is for Robinson Road Early Learning Centre, Aspley QLD

verified email - 11 Apr 2008

My daughter has been attending the centre now for about 3 months and is gradually becoming happier and happier. She can be very clingy at times and has a lot of difficulty seperating from me however the teachers in her pre-school room have been extremely helpful in this area. She did attend another local centre last year and was basically miserable there. I must say that the difference in terms of the quality and friendliness of staff and the quality of the programs is massive. The centre has a wonderful outdoor play area that is huge and includes slides, a fort type play area, sandpit and riding track. It is always lovely and clean and my daughter is greeted warmly by staff each morning and farewelled. The director and owner are also very visible within the centre and regularly pop into the rooms to say hello and check how the kids are going. They have a lot extra activities for the kids and family and friends as well such as grandparents mornings, visits fromt eh dentis and a police officer etc etc. I have been really happy with them to date and would recommend them to anyone.

This review is for Little Tigrrs, Windsor QLD

verified email - 11 Apr 2008

I took my three and a half year old and her friend to Little Tigrrs for a play. WHilst they had lots of fun it was very expensive I thought at $8-50 (for 1 - 5 year olds I think). The other difficult issue with this paly centre is that you can't take any of your own food in so as well as paying the entrance fee you also have to fork out for any food that the kids may need. The positive thing however is thatitisn't as big as some other centres where the kids seem to get a bit lost and you spend the whole time following them around when they are younger.

Approximate cost: $8-50

This review is for Pizza Napoli, Everton Park QLD

verified email - 11 Apr 2008

We made the mistake of going to this pizza place to eat in. WHilst the food was lovely and I would definitely go back for it again, it is most definitely NOT an eat in restaurant. There are only about 3 tables out the front of a take away sort of shop front. Unfortunately this is not made clear on their brochure and we arrived expecting a full restaurant. You have to order your food at the counter, ther eis no table service at all which was also disappointing.

Approximate cost: $15

This review is for Maria's Fine Gifts And Jewellery, Aspley QLD

Maria still works in this store and offers great, friendly genuine service. There is a great range of jewellery and gifts as well. I purchased a rose gold watch and it was onspecial so I got another 20% off the already good price. It was cheaper here than anywhere else that I had looked and I had searched hi and low.

Approximate cost: $200 for rose gold watch

This review is for Santos Pizzeria Authentic Italian Restaurant, Albany Creek QLD

verified email - 10 Apr 2008

We went to Santo's on a Saturday night so it was quite busy but the food and drinks still arrived quickly enough. The food was delicious, really authentic italian food that seemed to have been cooked by an Italian... perhaps even Santo himself. The surroundings are also pleasant and the staff very friendly. The prices are slightly on the expensive side but I was happy to pay given the quality and freshness of the food.

Approximate cost: $18

This review is for Computer Savvy, Bracken Ridge QLD

verified email - 10 Apr 2008

Craig from Computer Savvy has worked on our computer a number of times doing things such as updating the amount of memory (I think that is what it is called) and trying to bring it back from the dead when I spilt a cup of tea on it. Craig is very friendly and comes to the house which is really helpful. His prices are also really reasonable given that he comes to you.

This review is for Greasy Rhys' Mechanical Repair Shop, Lawnton QLD

I have been using Sam's motors for approximately10 years now and have always been pleased with the service I have recieved. Sam is a very honest man who will only do the work that you request of him and will always check with you first before doing anything additional. Anytime that I call him to book my car in for a service he is able to do it the next day. He willl also drop me to work down teh road from the shop if necessary as long as it is arranged prior. The value is excellent with a basic service costing around $80 - $90.

Approximate cost: $80

This review is for Jacob's Bakery Patisserie , Aspley QLD

verified email - 10 Apr 2008

I just love Jacob's bakery/patisserie. The products area always really fresh and extremely tasty. All the products are also a really generous size. The shop is always very clean and the prices are reasonable. I have ordered a number of birthday cakes and christening cakes also which have been delicious and looked great as well. Whilst the shop is nearly always busy the staff work very quickly and service is always prompt. Staff also know the products well. A great place to get bread or a treat !

This review is for Hair Perfect Hair And Beauty, Chermside QLD

verified email - 10 Apr 2008

Hair Perfect is owned by a lady called Sharon. Sharon provides excellent service, she is nearly always on time which is very different to a lot of other hairdressers. Sharon's prices are unbeatable and I have never been disappointed with any colour or cut I have ever recieved there. Sharon and her apprentice Rebecca also work very quickly and have you in and out of teh salon in no time.... my kind of hairdresser.

Approximate cost: $67 for colour cut and half head of foils on medium length hair

This review is for McDonalds Family Restaurant, Virginia QLD

verified email - 10 Apr 2008

Very child friendly McDonald's. Whilst the queues are often long they seem to move quite quickly. Unfortunately on the day that we went the playground was closed for cleaning after a child had an accident in there ! We were told it would be closed for half an hour so waited but an hour later it was still closed. This was a shame given that we had chosen that particular McDonalds's just for the layout of teh playground.
