My daughter started at Kindamindi in 2005, when she was 18 months-old. The staff helped her settle in quickly, and made her feel welcome and special. It's a popular place, but we were only on the waiting list for a month before we were offered a place. The best part is morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea are included in the price, as is a hat. All you need to bring is a change of clothes, and sheets for rest time. Even though we have moved out of the area, my now 4 year-old daughter still attends once a week, as she loves her teachers and friends so much.

Approximate cost: $53 per day
