Hi Kellieem,

Thanks so much for that - great to hear some positive feedback as it is one of the centres that we'd heard some good things about and are hoping we'll be offered a place there. I've been on their waiting list for 2.5 years can you believe!!! It seems it's very popular!!

Out of interest, how long ago did you work there? I've heard they've had a change of director & a couple of staff changes recently, so wondered what the staff turnover was like, although I suppose it would be no worse than other centres.

Do you think that community/council run daycares are "better" for want of another word than other corporate-type centres? Do the staff tend to have more freedom and time to spend with children due to less constraints and reporting requirements?

Also, would you happen to know what the ratios are? My son would be going into the toddler room ie: 2-3's, and I think they said the ratio was 3 carers for approximately 16 children. Just wondering if that would be 3 full-time carers or 2full-time and 1 part-time?

Sorry for the twenty questions LOL!!! Would greatly appreciate any other insights or advice you might be able to offer!

Thanks again!
