I have my daughter here on a wednesday and she loves it. I specifically chose this centre because of its large back yard and play area, staff and the rooms the kids are in are quite large as well. Even though the prices is at the top end of what you can pay in the area, these specifics are unique to tiggers. Other childcare centres I saw have small rooms, and some have virtually no outside play area. So if you know what you want before you start looking, it makes your choice a little bit easier

Approximate cost: $94

This is a great childcare centre that includes a kindergarten. The staff are great with reasonably low turnover and good ratios, including a dedicated chef (meals appear to be very good) and there are consistent relievers. All the staff are appear to be qualified now - there has been a push on this.

The centre is in two older large houses. One house has large room for each of the four levels. The ELC is in the second house. Being on large blocks of land there is a large outside play area and zoned covered areas as well.

The hours are also good, 7.30am to 6.30pm, and they only close between Christmas and New Year - I have colleagues that have to take a lot of leave at Christmas because their kids' childcare centre is shut for 2 or 3 weeks.

The centre manager is called Della, she is very experience and has here own children in the centre. While the centre is part of Guardian,it does not feel corporate or mean, or like a stereotypical ABC centre.

Tiggers was the 2010 State winner of Australian Childcare Centre of the Year. The only real downside is that it not a low prices centre.

Approximate cost: $92 per day
