Make sure you guys arrange enough educator to child ratio to observe them better because at pick up time today they when they spit the saliva from their position in lv 3 to lv 4, I just only seen 1educator showed up with about 15 children and as they did not supervise them well, they didnt know that they were actually spitting saliva.
I am very happy with Only About Children Highpoint. All the staff members are very friendly and nice. The care given is very good. My baby boys first days were made really easy. They are giving a really good attention on him to make him feel settled, safe and loved. Which makes us feel comfortable as parents because leaving the baby is not easy. This is a great relief in mind, knowing the baby is given a good care. Also the activities done throughout the day. It is going to be a great help for the development of the baby. And the food is amazing too. Healthy meals are provided. I am very happy about everything and very happy we decided to pick OAC Highpoint as our baby’s ChildCare. I will recommend them to any parent without a doubt with high recommendations.

We love OAC HighPoint! We started attending this centre when our eldest was just 10 months old and have had an incredible journey with them, 2 additional kids later. They provide thorough daily learning and routine updates, have a fabulous staff retention record, and their equipment and cleanliness are top tier. Their on-site chef puts so much pride and effort into her creations, our kids are now so adventurous with their food choices. OAC educators clearly love what they do and it’s evident as soon as you walk through the doors how passionate they are about early childhood education. Not only are our children in the safest of hands, they treat us like family with every interaction - an important factor when handing over your most precious little people for the day. OAC HighPoint are a superior childcare centre.

Make sure you visit other childcare centres before enrolling your child here. My daughter was bitten 4 times from the same kid and the educators did not take enough steps to prevent this. The last day she got bitten a one year old baby girl was crying so much that she vomited in front of me while the educator was looking for the food cards that were missing. No response from the manager, totally dismissive educators and definitely and over priced chilcare. There are more affordable chilcares centres with better service.
Updated review - My little ones both started when they were 6 months old in the nursery, and continued through to Kinder. They both love attending and the staff take wonderful care of them. I feel comfortable knowing that they are so well looked after each day. OAC have a very interactive curriculum and both my kids have developed fantastic social skills from attending. The food is also amazing! I would recommend OAC Highpoint to anyone who wants trustworthy carers who pay attention to each child’s individual needs.

OAC Highpoint has been a great Childcare Centre for my children! Both kids started in Nursery room and have transitioned wonderfully in each room with my youngest currently in the Toddler room (Sara as the Team Leader) and my eldest in Kinder (Jennifer as the teacher). It's a spotless centre with Educators that are engaging, plenty of activities and also fun excursions for our kids to learn and develop. In addition, their Head Chef Maggie prepares the most amazing dishes! Highly recommend! A+
Great daycare with attentive staff. Our daughter loves it here.
Google ReviewJune 14, 2023
Some key things stand out for us with OAC Highpoint: It’s a small campus which means all the staff know my child by name, and all greet us in the morning. As a result of feedback, they have reduced nursery places so it’s a calmer environment for the babies starting their childcare journey. The room is constantly changing based on what the kids are showing interest in. There is a consistent effort to create community with morning tea’s, events, etc I routinely see management in the rooms, helping out during busy times of day and interacting with the kids by name.
Fantastic center and facilities. My 4 year old has been attending OAC daycare and now kindergarten since she was 1. OAC Highpoint has some incredible educators who encourage creativity and learning, emphasise the importance of manners and show genuine care for my child.
We have been lucky to be part of the Only About Children Highpoint Campus for two years now, with our two children attending. We looked around multiple other Childcare centres in the area before enrolling here, and honesty nothing could compare after we visited OAC for the first time. The facilities are amazing, spotless and the team really take pride in the campus. Whilst childcare drop offs can sometimes be daunting, I feel completely at ease knowing the kids are going to have an amazing day. The educators are absolutely wonderful at what they do, every single employee greets the children as soon as stepping into the door and the highlight of the day is definitely receiving the regular updates and photos – always brings a smile to my face. Well done and thank you OAC Highpoint team!
