We have been with Kids & Co Early Learning Centre for the last 4 years, and both of our daughters currently attend the centre. We have been very happy with the care, support and service provided by the entire team. The educators are caring, friendly and genuinely attentive to the children’s needs. We especially appreciate how flexible and accommodating the centre has always been in supporting our requests and individual requirements. It has been wonderful to see our children grow, learn and develop in such a warm and supportive environment. We really appreciate the ongoing efforts of the entire Kids & Co team and would happily recommend the centre to other families.

The educators are caring, professional, and genuinely passionate about children’s development and wellbeing. Our child has grown so much in confidence, social skills, and learning since joining the centre. The activities are engaging, creative, and educational, and the staff always make children feel safe, valued, and happy. Communication with parents is excellent, and we truly appreciate the regular updates and the effort the team puts into every child’s progress. It gives us great peace of mind knowing our child is in such a nurturing and positive environment every day. We highly recommend Kids & Co. to any family looking for a supportive and high-quality early learning experience for their children.

This is one of the best, atleast in the Docklands/CBD area. Faculty and adminstrators are so friendly and warm. We have been seeing the same educators for 2 years straight, which is always a very promising sign. Tons of activities for the kids, daily updates, adequate attention to a child's needs. The place is always clean and the owners are personally invested in running the centre. It has been a very easy going journey as a parent and my child loves attending Kinder here. I highly recommend their services.

I have both of my children at this childcare, and it’s been a wonderful experience. My daughter started around one year old, and at the time, she had some emotional challenges. The educators were so warm, patient, and attentive, giving her extra care. She often needed snacks to calm down, and unlike other centers, they were understanding. My son joined around six months—after trying other places, he was happiest here. Eventually, both kids enrolled full-time. Even though the commute can be long for me, I feel at ease every day. The staff are caring, responsive when kids are sick, and they plan activities that suit each child’s development. My kids are happy, and I can focus on work, knowing they’re in great hands. Highly recommend!

My son has been attending Kids & Co Docklands for the past 3 years, and I couldn’t be happier with our experience. As a mother, I was very anxious at first about sending him to full-day childcare. However, all my worries disappeared once I saw how friendly, caring, and supportive the educators are. The teachers are truly wonderful and create a warm, safe, and nurturing environment for the children. The centre is also very conveniently located in the city, right next to the tram stop, which makes drop-offs and pick-ups so easy. Now, my son is very attached to his teachers and loves the environment. He often asks to go to Kids & Co, which speaks volumes about how much he enjoys it. I really appreciate the way the educators focus on each child individually and plan activities based on their interests. Highly recommend!

Hi everyone! I’d like to share my experience with Kids and Co. I genuinely believe it is one of the best childcare centres in this area. We chose it because of its warm, family-like atmosphere. The adjustment period was incredibly smooth — from the very first days, my daughter felt at home there and kept asking when we would go again. I can also see how responsibly the management approaches staff selection. All the educators are very caring, active, and it is obvious that they truly love children. They always come up with very interesting activities for the children, and every day feels like a celebration. They are constantly creating something new — one day a petting zoo came to the centre, and at Easter a huge Easter Bunny came to visit the kids. I also really appreciate being able to see real-time updates in the app about everything that happens with my child throughout the day — how many times she ate, how long she slept, and what activities she was involved in. Not every childcare centre can offer that. But most importantly, as a parent, I truly value the flexible and supportive approach of the centre’s management. We can always easily discuss any changes, and they are consistently accommodating and attentive to our needs. I recommend Kids and Co to all my friends and to any parents who are looking for a wonderful childcare centre for their child. I am sure everyone will feel the warmth, care, and joyful atmosphere they create for every little one.

Kathy, Paul & Tari have clearly built an emotion led early learning centre which serves as a pivot towards a child’s safety & development. My son enjoys every moment spent in Kids & Co. & looks forward to spending more time with the other kids & educators. Needless to say, all educators are handpicked, cater to the children with finesses and are extremely friendly & polished.

Both of my daughters have been at Kids & Co and we’ve been really happy with the centre. When we came to Melbourne in 2024, my older daughter was 3 and wasn’t speaking much. After two years here, she is speaking so much better and more confidently. My younger daughter is also at the centre now. She is well looked after and really enjoys the activities. Thank you to all the educators for taking good care of our girls.
