This review is for Yogies Playhouse Long Daycare Centre, Stanhope Gardens NSW

verified email - 19 Aug 2013

My daughter went to Yogies for a year before she started Kindy. Every single staff and I mean every single one, was great! They are friendly, kind, gentle and attentive towards all the kids. They got to do crafts every day which my daughter absolutely loved and for those who would be going to Kindy the following year, they would start teaching them to write and do some workbook activities. The food is great, my picky eater daughter ate everything and even asked me to get the recipe from the cook. My daughter looked forward to going to Yogies and she was kinda sad that she had to leave Yogies as she was to attend big school (Kindy) the following years. I would recommend this centre as it is not too large, therefore all the staff knows every kid and handle them well.

Approximate cost: $100

I took my little girl there for her first dental check up and clean. The dentist was very friendly and professional. The dental assistant was also friendly. So was the receptionist. My little girl felt at ease throughout the check up and teeth cleaning. The waiting area is very clean and tidy. It would be great if they have a kid's waiting area and more kids books to keep the kid occupied while waiting to be seen.

Approximate cost: $165

Huge Asian Grocer! They have everything you need for Asian cooking. They even have a warehouse inside the supermarket where you can buy rice in 10-20kg sacks and also other supplies for food businesses. Their stock moves quickly. Check out staff is efficient. I find their pricing the cheapest compared to those in the city and similar Asian grocers. Parking is a nightmare if you go between 9am - 6pm. We usually go at 7.30pm as they close at 9pm on weekdays. Not sure what time they close on weekends.

Love this bakery. Bread, buns and tarts are made fresh on the day itself and they sell out fast. Priced very reasonably too. Very yummy. It is located beside the huge G&L Supermarket and Fresh Seafood shop as well as BBQ Chicken place. Very convenient to get everything. However, parking is a nightmare if you go between 9am - 6pm.

The croquette is the best! My daughter loves it. We love their fried rice and fried noodles too. Reasonably priced. It is often busy especially during lunch. The place is spacious, neat and clean. Customer service is great.

The best post office I have been to. The staff are efficient, professional, courteous and always service with a smile. Even the manager himself is super friendly. I wish every business has such customer service! Top notch!

This review is for Surfees Swim School, Stanhope Gardens NSW

The full time instructors are awesome and very good with kids. Unfortuantely I can't say the same about the part time or casual ones who fills in temporarily for the full time instructors. The learning pools are great. Kids get to go off and play at the kids and wave pools before and after their lessons.

This review is for Stanhope Medical Centre, Stanhope Gardens NSW

The GPs are friendly. Best to make an appointment with the GP of your choice, otherwise you might end up waiting 40 mins to an hour at least. Location of the medical centre is good. At least you can go off to Coles, Kmart or the Library while you wait for your turn if you have not already booked an appointment earlier. The receptionist will tell when to return, say 40 mins to an hour for example.

This review is for Coles, Stanhope Gardens NSW

I love how neat everything is at Coles Stanhope. The self check out assistant is always very alert and quick to respond to customer needing help. Best of all, the counter staff are quick to refund when pricing is wrong. I get to keep the product for free too. Customer service is top notch. However, I can't say the same for the quality of fresh produce
