My child started at this centre in the nursery at 18 weeks old and is now a confident toddler over two years old, who enjoys days very much at OAC. The staff are consistent and reliable and provide a secure environment for the children to learn and grow. My child just adores them all and knows everyone's name and tells me how they're nice and kind. I really enjoy the daily photo's and hearing about my child's day. At pick up and drop off, things are calm and the children are generally settled and happy. I feel very confident in the care that my child is receiving and recommend this centre highly. It is one of the more expensive in the area but does provide high quality educators with good quality food, as well as a small environment. Thank you to all the Educators, Centre Director Emily (and the previous Director Mikayla) and Assistant Director Shelley as well as the chef, for all the love and care that you provide. My child is thriving at this centre and I appreciate all the activities, care and attention that everyone at OAC North Parramatta works hard to provide to all of the children. It's great to see happy children at pickup time who have enjoyed their day.
Good care centre.
Our Daughter has been with OAC for a while. She was hesitant in the beginning but now she is going with the flow. I’m sure this has to do with the great experience she is getting from attending. Salma, Aastha and Albee are very patient and helpful. I get update from App which makes me assured.
A small centre, a personal approach and the educators at the centre take good care of the children.
Really this is the way you guys take care of 10 month old baby. Such a shame.
Great company to work for. North parramatta was home to me for many years, great bunch of team I worked with over the years, built amazing connections with children and their families. High quality care provided to children. Highly recommend. Nutritious meals provided by an amazing chef who goes above and beyond.

I walked past this establishment ,just to hear a teacher call a kid dumb because the child did not sit down quick enough. Incompetent teachers tend to turn to petty criticism to make up for there bad skills. Just a word of caution for parents who have kids here. Roughly happened at 9:30 today 4/42022. In case the teacher responsible is held accountable. Calling a child dumb tends to damage the self esteem way through adult life. In case the teacher responsible wants to learn from her mistakes.

Excellent campus. The director/ educators have provided such an excellent standard of care for my children over the years. It’s been more than a positive experience, our children have developed such fond memories of their educators and peers. I highly recommend this campus, the long daycare hours is very helpful, they communicate well via the app/emails/phone calls and are always happy to answer any questions. The meals they provide are nutritious and varied, the activities and development milestones are shared regularly on the app, any concerns are raised immediately etc.
My kids love attending OAC. The educators are compassionate and professional, and provide top-quality care. The administrative team is efficient and helpful, and the directors do a phenomenal job. I always feel confident that my kids are going to be cared for and have a great time with all the other lovely kids at the school. The team did an amazing job through the Covid-19 crisis and I am extremely satisfied that my family is safe at OAC!
