" We couldn't be happier with the Geckos, The Nest. After researching all the other centres around we finally discovered Geckos for our 20 month old who was ready to transition from a much smaller facility dedicated to babies (although in hindsight we wished we had found Geckos much sooner!). Our little man loved Geckos from his very first visit - he didn't want to leave. From the moment we put him down on his first day he ran off and started playing and hasn't looked back since (he was clearly ready for the experience, and has fostered many friendships at the centre). The teachers are second-to-none and always go above and beyond - we were blown away when they called up with progress reports on his first day. (We clearly didn't need to worry about him at all.) The teachers have made both us, and our son, feel very much at home. (Although he only goes four days a week, our little one often asks if he can go to daycare to play with his friends on the weekend too.)
Each of the teachers brings their own uniqueness to the centre - and we simply love them all! They empower the children to learn and develop at their own level and take a genuine interest in them as individuals. By recognising our sons interests they have developed a wonderful friendship with him which in turn has encouraged him to learn and grow. - We love seeing our little one introduced to new concepts and ways of thinking - and feel the teachers have enriched the growth and development of our (now) 2.5yr old. We particularly love the 'wheels day', excursions and walks - all of which are great opportunities for learning.
We know we are fussy parents - especially in regards to diet, suncare and 'screen-time' and the Geckos teachers have been so accommodating - even ensuring they have recipes to hand which suit our dietary requirements meaning that our son can participate in group baking, and they always ensure he has a healthy snack option available when birthday cakes, and similar 'treats' are brought in by other kids to share...so he never misses out.
Thank you again for sharing our little one and helping him grow as a confident, happy individual."

" Our son Lewis absolutely loves Geckos The Nest. He often asks if he can go to daycare in the weekends and talks to us about the great time he has at daycare with the teachers and his friends. When our little Frankie came along we didn’t have to think twice about what daycare to choose. The teachers at Geckos are very approachable and have great advice and suggestions. They have great knowledge when it comes to babies and toddlers and I know my kids are in an environment where they will thrive "

" We have been a part of both the Geckos families with each of our boys, and I have only praise for the care our children and family have received. The teachers are engaged and interested in the children and have nurtured and encouraged our boys in their learning and development (even when the dinosaur phase lasted almost 18 months). The outdoor spaces are great and the regular walks, adventures and field trips are some of the unique experiences we enjoy here and treasure. My kids call the centres “Gecko house” which says it all.
