We feel like we have struck gold finding this daycare centre. We had our daughter enrolled in another centre when she was 10 months old and she had not settled after 12 sessions, it was an extremely stressful and emotional time. I quickly decided we needed to change centres; I did some research and THANKFULLY came across Childs Play Point Cook.
The centre director Sam and assistant manager Wararat are both very approachable, caring and professional. You get a real family vibe. During our orientations, I was even approached by the owner who was visiting, she was extremely caring and reassured me that it gets easier.
The centre has been renovated and is very clean, the food menu is very balanced. But above everything else the educators are incredible. We couldn’t be more grateful - we would recommend Childs Play Point Cook to any family without hesitation.

I’m extremely happy with the care and support provided by Point Cook Child's Play Services. My 4-year-old twins have been attending since they were 6 months old, and we've never had any issues. The staff and management are genuinely lovely and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend them to any parent looking for quality childcare.

Our child has been attending this centre for the past 3 months, and we couldn’t be happier. Having previously been with one of their other branches, it was an easy choice when we moved.
From the warm welcome at the front desk to the inviting smells from the kitchen and the well-loved backyard, the whole place feels more like a family than a childcare. The educators are caring and attentive, and our child comes home excited about the food, different play areas, and group time.
