Apple Blossoms is a great centre. Out 1 year old daughter has an absolutely amazing time when she's there. It's evident that the staff in the nursery (baby) room are really dedicated to supporting learning, wellbeing and fun. The centre is also incredibly inclusive without being performative. Natsumi (centre manager) is onto everything and keeps us regularly updated on what's happening within the centre. We couldn't ask for more - highly recommend!

We transferred our son from another local childcare provider and he has absolutely thrived at Apple Blossoms. There was a significant difference in the care offered and the genuine support from the educators. My son has loved his time in the nursery, the educators are amazing, he loves the outdoor play space and the room is regularly changed to meet the changing needs of the children. The food is incredible and they cater to dietary needs. My son recently transitioned to the Toddler room and the team went out of their way to support him to help with the transition. He talks about Apple Blossoms and the educators on his days off from childcare, it just shows what a positive impact they have had on him. Highly recommend Apple Blossoms to other parents.

My daughter started in the nursery at Apple Blossoms Daycare at the beginning of the year, at 18 months old and our experience has been wonderful. Prior to this she was just at home with us. One of my favourite moments each day is watching her happily engage with activities and staff before she notices me at pick-up. The nursery offers an excellent mix of indoor and outdoor play, which she thoroughly enjoys. She recently transitioned to the toddler room, which features a spacious outdoor area integrated into the natural surroundings. This setup provides her with countless opportunities for imaginative play. The presence of rabbits and hens is a delightful addition, offering her a connection to nature despite living in the city. The daycare's commitment to organic food is a significant advantage, as not many centres offer this. Most importantly, the educators at Apple Blossoms are exceptional. They are caring, understand each child as an individual, and form meaningful connections. The communication is outstanding, and the support from all staff members is remarkable. Even when my daughter is teary at drop-off, they know exactly how to comfort her and ensure she settles in well. The staff is incredibly attentive, keeping me informed about any changes and discussing everything I need to know. My daughter has learned new baby signs and is supported in her love of colours and numbers, which is fantastic. Apple Blossoms Daycare excels in providing a nurturing, engaging, and supportive environment for my child, and I couldn't be more pleased with our experience.

Our Apple Blossoms experience has been positive. The now centre Director Natsumi is amazing. From the get go she has gone over and above the call of duty to ensure the transition for our children has been smooth. It is evident that she cares (moreso than other centres we have have experienced). Even when we have faced periods of challenging drop offs she has always been willing to make suggestions and / or provide tools to help the children cope with these difficult periods. We are extremely grateful for that. A shout out to the long-standing educators there and chef as well who do a fantastic job. If you are looking for small Centre with some outdoor space as well as Centre Director who truly cares about your kids then Apple blossoms is the place for you.
My daughter has been attending Apple Blossoms for 2 and a half years. She has gone from the nursery room, to the toddler room and now attends Kinder. We have had a great experience and she really enjoys going and all the fun activities. They have a wonderful large outdoor area, which was important to us. The centre director, Natsumi, is amazingly supportive and caring, often going above and beyond to help guide us through things like potty training and a new sibling. My daughter has made some lovely connections to the educators and we find them all to be very caring and the communication from them through the app to be thorough.
Our daughter has been going to Apple Blossoms for the last year and we have had a really positive experience. She has developed close relationships with the educators and centre director, Natsumi, who is excellent and very thorough. It is a very loving, caring environment, which we didn't feel as much when looking at other centres in the area. We like that it is a bit smaller so that all of the educators and children all get to know each other well. We have only good things to say about Apple Blossoms South Melbourne!
Hands-down, the best childcare centre in South Melbourne! We have been sending our older boy here for about 2 years and our younger child just started about five months ago! I love that it is a smaller centre so it feels like home away from home. The educators are so caring, professional, patient, loving and kind. There is even a beautiful natural outdoor space, with its own resident bunny and occasionally chickens. Tina and Natsumi, the current centre manager are so helpful, kind and efficient! And the educators, Vanitha, Erin, Lauren, Tara ... just to name a few, they are brilliant. They make the extra effort not just to care for but to teach our kids and my youngest is currently learning colours, numbers and shapes from them! Morning drop-offs are a breeze thanks to the confidence and trust I have in the staff at this centre!

Apple blossom is not just a daycare, it’s a family. My kids have been through all the rooms, from the nursery to kinder and I couldn’t be happier with the staff and the support we’re getting. We’ve tackled various challenges throughout the year and the staff are always very helpful and knowledgeable, not to mention very proactive. I’m definitely going to miss the AB team and environment once my kids are both school age.

My 2 years old daughter just started going to apple blossom a month ago. But she seems to love this centre! She has been going to another childcare and she still refuses to go in sometimes. But with apple blossom, just she just joined but always smooth to settle and everytime she comes home she says I wanna go there again! The biggest reason why I decided to send her to this place is their food. I care about my daughters diet a lot, they offer all suger/gluten/dairy free food, I’ve never seen any other places like that. I can see educators do care about what’s best for kids, I really like the way they talk to kids. Hope she can have more days to attend soon and make more friends ☺️
