My son started in the four-year-old program this year and he loves it! We love the natural outdoor environment and welcoming atmosphere. My son regularly tells me with great excitement that his teacher's like to get out new toys each week and he looks forward to what will be next. He tells me that the outdoor climbing frames (mobile and changeable, not fixed) are a spaceship and a bus and boat and then they were a castle at the top of a hill!
The kinder is close to home for us. The session times are a bit tricky for our family with two full time working parents, but we're lucky enough to have drop-off and pick-up support with a private daycare service which we'd been using for years.
I highly recommend Diamond Creek East Preschool.

If I was to go all Gordan Ramsey on this place I would say they just don't know what they want to be. Are they a sports bar, an intimate dinning or bistro set-up, do they want classic deco or uber-modern? There is a little bit of everything and this confusion is reflected in the staff and service.
While my evening was nice enough, I felt there is a lot of room for improvement. Apparently EVERYTHING on the menu comes with 'chipsnsalad' whether the dish needs it or not. Half the beer's in the fridge and on tap were not listed in the menu. We were given three menus (drinks, food and pizza) and each one had some prices whited out, the laminate was coming apart and they hadn't been cleaned in a while.
When I would have liked another drink I turned around to see all the wait staff standing at their bar looking out over the sea of dinners - waiting to pounce on anyone who looked like they needed serving - but they never looked my way.
The meals were too big but I can't complain about value for money - even if both my husband and I couldn't finish the meals!

Approximate cost: $21
