This is one of the best daycares I’ve had. The staff were so vigilant and always noted every little detail of my child. They helped me when I was at my lowest and helped with our sons education. I can’t recommend them enough. Definitely highly regarded.
Amazing place. Can't fault anything about it. Have sent 3 of my kids over the past 4 years and not had a single issue with the staff or the centre. My kids loved it and never wanted to leave. Was always informed on what they did for the day and answerd any questions I had. Will be sending my 4th child there too when I need too. The staff are all so friendly and caring.. Hightly recommended orchard
Both of my children have attended orchard montessori daycare and have loved it. Very friendly staff, always been very accommodating and flexible with days which is very helpful for me being a working mother. Couldn't recommend them enough and will definitely be sending my third to orchard montessori aswell.
I put my son Logan into Orchard Montessori as a family friend had sent both her daughters there. I was also familiar with the centre and it was always calm and peaceful when I attended which drew me even more to the centre. My son was 2 years old when he started and was not used to being away from me so the educators were great at helping him through the transition and within a month he was fully settled. He loved going 3 days per week and the centre were very flexible doing extra days when I needed as my husband was FIFO for some time. Logan loved Marina and had a great connection with her early on, drop offs were never an issue any morning and the centre was always calm and inviting. Alison the Manager was very professional, friendly and down to earth. Logan really took to her, we both felt very welcome as part of the Orchard Montessori family. From the day my son entered the centre, all the same staff were there when he left and that consistency really helped him feel secure and safe. My son loved being outdoors so the large outdoor areas were great for him to play and interact with other kids. I believe my son learned so much here and being a June baby he is now left the centre and is in Kindy. Being the youngest in the group, I was very concerned that he would struggle, however he has achieved so much at his time at Orchard Montessori that he is thriving so far at Kindy. He knows all his colours, season, numbers, animals and has really good fine motor skills thanks to attending Orchard. The educators are passionate about helping and educating in a fun play based way. I highly recommend Orchard Montessori, Alison the Manager is amazing, staff turnover is low, they are compassionate and caring in nature, the price is fair and the centre is very well run and are very flexible to meet your individual family needs. We miss you already Team Orchard Montessori, Logan will never forget his time here! xo xo
CONS - Unorganised - No instructions on our first day/week as what to do, when we drop child off. Parents are later told to unpack child’s bag with 2 change of clothes, 5 nappies and put lunch in fridge. - Parents need to ask at every pick up what did children eat for breakfast and snacks and if they ate or not. Sometimes the morning educators have left, so no one is able to tell you. - There is a sheet floating around with each child’s day that contains, wet/poo nappy, nap times ect for educators and parents. This was not introduced to us until weeks after starting after I asked questions. - There is no monthly assessments of child’s development like other daycares - Stress of business affects manager and staff morale, which affects quality of care for the children - Sometimes aggressiveness from staff at children with yelling/raising voice and pulling on children’s arm - Quality of care needs to highly improve. - No main meals provided - No nappies provided - No nappy creams provided - High weekly cost of 98 without provisions of main meals PROS - Friendly faces - Calm music - Calm kids/childcare - Montessori educational toys - Large outdoor space - Small daycare and low numbers of children - Educators have worked there for long time
My daughter moved to Orchard from a larger daycare and has thrived in the smaller, calmer environment. The ladies are lovely and always take the time to comfort the children while encouraging independence. My daughter is a big helper around the house now and a big part of that is the style of teaching and montessori approach.
