I found this day care very unprofessional, fake and just good at showing off. As it was rated excellence, I chose this centre and the manager assured us that they are very good at settling a child and it takes time and they are well staffed to take care of the child. They didn't give any orientations and ask us to leave the child to them from the very first day.

I had 3 weeks left before returning to work so took this remaining 3 weeks to drop him off and hang around there and pick him up after 2-3-4 hours, increasing gradually. The educators and the manager herself told me that he was doing well and he didn't cry the whole day. The only thing was he refused to eat. But I had heard from different people that these were all settling phases. After 3 weeks (the last day), the manager tells me that she can no longer keep my child because he was not settling well. Now I need to go back to work and am left with no options.

So my suggestion is if you think your child might not settle well in 3 weeks of time (that is the deadline from the manager of this centre), think twice before choosing this centre or you might be in the same situation as I am now.

Approximate cost: $140
