Testimonials
From a family at Glenroy Hub Children’s Centre:
“I just wanted to take the opportunity to acknowledge the incredible job the team at the Glenroy Hub children’s Centre are doing. In just 5 days of attending care, my daughter has settled very easily building a strong sense of belonging, displaying leadership, confidence and resilience through genuinely compassionate relationships with her educators.
“My biggest concern was separation. After spending maternity leave in lockdown, this was a major complex for me. The team have been such a great support and I now have peace of mind leaving her, knowing she is in the best hands. The educators have taken the time to learn and understand her strengths and interests with enthusiasm, and are never far away to support and guide my daughter’s self- help skills and independence.
“Glenroy Hub children’s Centre is truly a state of the art service with natural environments to inspire and promote positive health and wellbeing, exceeding all our expectations and providing our daughter the best possible start to early education.
“We are so grateful to all the staff who are nurturing, kind and genuinely love what they do. Thank you for helping us feel reassured. We are truly lucky to have a place at the hub!”
