This is a really lovely centre, when I started looking around for child care this was the only place where the staff took a real interest in my son and interacted with him and not just with me. They also had the biggest outdoor play area of all the centres I visited. This is by no means the closest centre to where I live, but it was the one I felt most comfortable about leaving my child at, and he loves it. All the staff are great, and Yana the director is lovely.

My son has been going to Huggy Bear on and off since he was 9 months old and he LOVES it.

The best thing about Huggy Bear is it has a homely, non sterile feel (unlike some centres). I also like the fact that they are not on a main road, but on a suburban street and their massive play area's (they have 2) are at the back of the property under huge shades. Which means there are no cars driving by dumping their exhausts near where the kids are playing, and there is no real chance of the centre's play area being caught up in a motor vehicle accident (as i have noticed that a few around the area are on corners of some pretty main roads!).

The staff are very friendly and easy to get along with and just a great bunch of ladies.

I will be honest I drove past Huggy Bear several times whilst initially looking for a centre (as i thought the sign looked dodgy and the premises small) but after looking at 5 others in the area (and not being really happy with any of them) i decided to give them a look. I can honestly say that as soon as I walked in and saw the premises I was like 'Yep this is the centre for my son!' - moral of the story - Just because a day care centre looks all new and fancy doesn't mean it is the best place for your kid! Huggy Bear definitely has a family/homely feel to it which is what I ultimately love about it!

Huggy Bear is awesome and my son will be staying there for as long as they will have him!
