An incredible team and campus - our daughter loves her days at OAC Armadale. Highly recommend.
Google ReviewAugust 21, 2024
My son has been at OAC Armadale for over a year now and he loves it there. He started in the Nursery and moved up to the Toddler section. Every single one of his educators have been so caring and so supportive in his growth and development. My son has thrived in the Toddler Room. His communication skills, counting, reading and love for arts and craft have been supported and I have loved watching him thrive under the care of his educators. The ladies at reception are always friendly and the chef is amazing. My son loves the food there and happily eats all the snacks and meals provided. He never wants to leave when either myself or my husband goes to pick him up. It literally takes us 30 mins to get of the door as he still wants to play and have his late afternoon snacks! I am so happy that we chose OAC Armadale.
OAC at Armadale is the best. The staff are very professional and friendly. The building, the interior design, and the outdoor play area are just beautiful and child friendly. My daughter has gained a lot of confidence, made friends, and loves going to OAC. We live in Mount Waverley and drive to Armadale because we think our daughter is cared for and educated by the best.
My daughter has been at OAC Armadale for about 10 months now and I couldn’t recommend this centre more! The educators are all SO lovely and always create a wonderful, positive environment for my toddler. The ladies at the front desk are always so welcoming and Chef John does an amazing job with the food! My daughter has loved her time here so far.
Google ReviewJune 16, 2024
My daughter has been attending OAC Armadale for about nine months now, and her development since then has been incredible. The team are were so welcoming to her, and have been supportive of her needs throughout. The educators have been present from day one, and we haven't found ourselves having to adjust to new team members because the staff turnover is very low. The daily updates and photos of my child's time at OAC are the highlights of my day, and I love reading about what she's been learning. When I come to pick my daughter up from childcare, most of the time she's having so much fun that she doesn't want to leave. As a parent, that makes me feel like we made the right choice choosing OAC Armadale. If she's happy, I'm happy.
Dakota at the front desk was a breath of fresh air, very helpful and easy to deal with. An amazing representative for ‘only about children’
Our son Ronak has been going there for nearly a year now. We have had a great experience - the carers (Keeley, Shreya, Faith, Dakota, Katie and others) have been extremely supportive and understanding and have helped him transition. He now loves going to child care in the morning and tells us bye with a smile !
We absolutely love Only About Children in Armadale. Our little boy started when he was 10 months old after a successful orientation. We love Only About Children because the number of children in the nursery is smaller, the facilities are beautiful and safe and of course the staff are fantastic
I cannot recommend OAC Armadale highly enough. My son started in nursery which was such a warm and welcoming space for a litte one. He then graduated upstairs to 'Toddler 1' under the care of the delightful and fun Rosie. He is now downstairs in 'Toddler 3' with the very fun and kind Emily and team. He loves going to daycare, has made some little friends and enjoys all the food (sometimes his lunch sounds a lot more interesting and tasty than mine). I really appreciate the level of care and fun for my son and the amount of communication the centre provides me.
I have worked at Oac Armadale for7Y and very fortunate to work with a dynamic team who are so dedicated in providing high quality care for our beautiful children and amazing families. Rosie
