Penguin Childcare Early Learning Centre

My experience with Penguin Docklands is totally different to the other reviewer from 2012 - our toddler has been going since late 2016 and we absolutely love it. It's no longer convenient for us to take him there as neither of us work in the area any more, but we have been so impressed with the level of care and our son loves it so, so much that we wouldn't dream of moving him.

The staff are wonderful, and we fully trust them. We have had offers of daycare much closer to home but none of the centres we did orientations at came close. My niece also goes to this daycare and is a few years above my son; we all just love it and are so thankful to have found it. I don't actually know anyone who is so satisfied with their daycare provider!

I'm not doubting the other reviewer's experience, but many things can change in 5 years and Penguin is just amazing now!

I went to this childcare centre for an orientation for my baby, but what I saw there is just not acceptable : dirty, no hygiene, not enough staff, no activities, not baby friendly, etc... Basically, absolutely not adapted to a baby. The staff in charge isn't nice nor patient, babies are on a dirty rug where everybody walks with shoes, being left to their own devices. Half of the babies had tears in their eyes. It's so not okay for babies to go there! I would never recommend to anyone to go there.

Approximate cost: $107 per day
