I am searching for reviews for Burwood kindercare. Can anyone tell me anything about it good or bad? Am considering putting my 6 month baby in care there.

My daughter is with Kindercare and I have had good and bad experiences.

Although she is not with Birwood, she is now at Armagh. She has also been to Ferry Road. I personally wouldnt recommend them there, but wouldnt hesitate to recommend Armagh.

The thing i found different between the two is the teachers. Ferry road had HUGE turnovers and they never really got to know my daugher, she never settled, and they just left her alone by herself. Everytime i picked her up they would tell me that she is getting better blah blah, but really they werent even trying. When i took her out they said to me 'oh she never really enjoyed it did she'.

I waited 2 years before trying again and found amagh street. Same teachers all the time, they are dedicated, patient and absolutely lovely!

So i guess what im saying is find out the licence size (Ferry was double and WAY to many kids IMO)

Find out the teacher turnover and just look at the kids and the way they interact with teachers.

Oops that turned into a book

My kids go to the Shirley (Coopers Road) one and we love it. I don't really have a bad thing to say about it. We actually looked at the Burwood one and from memory they didn't do cloth nappies but things may have changed now. Go along and spend some time there and see what you think!

I don't know much about Burwood either, but I happen to think Ferry Road is utterly fabulous!!
There hasn't been staff turnover in a long time, they have great teams in there.
Couldn't recommend them highly enough!
