Here's what our families have to say
My 8 month old is so well cared for at OAC Ferny Hills, his educators Miss Chloe and Miss Trinity are absolutely lovely and dedicated to the children. My son has a different activity everyday, the menu supplied is healthy and diverse, and they provide daily updates and photos that show me how much fun he is having.
I had the pleasure of completing my 9-week work placement at Only About Children in Melbourne Central, and it was an incredible experience. From day one, the staff made me feel welcome and supported. The team was not only knowledgeable but also passionate about early childhood education, and they encouraged me to get hands-on experience while learning the ins and outs of the industry. A huge thank you to the amazing staff members—Negar, Justin, Precious, Karmon, Fanny, Sarah and Xiniu—who guided me, assisted me, and patiently answered all my questions. Your support and encouragement made all the difference during my placement, and I learned so much from each of you. I truly appreciate the time you took to ensure I felt confident and prepared every step of the way.
The children were a joy to interact with, and I appreciated the thoughtful, child-centered approach that the center provides. I gained valuable insights into curriculum development, child development, and the importance of creating a nurturing environment. I’m grateful for the opportunity to be part of such a dedicated and caring team, and I look forward to applying the skills I learned in my future career. Highly recommend this center for anyone looking to make a meaningful impact in the lives of children!

Highly recommend Only About Children at Ferny Hills. The educators have been absolutely amazing, who are really active in each kids day-to-day. The level of care is incredible. Very low staff turnover which provides great continuity of care. My child has thrived here.
We were really nervous and apprehensive about sending our now 14 month old to daycare in February this year but everyone at OAC Ferny Hill has been amazing and helped so much with our sons transition! Their chef Simon caters to all his dietary needs and his educators are so kind and keep us updated about their day which we love!
I particularly love that everyone seems to know our sons name even those who never or rarely have anything to do with him!
It feels like a really nice community and I’m so grateful that they had space for our son!

My son loves Only About Children Ferny Hills! We had tried out 4 other local daycares before settling here and we've been super happy ever since. He loves his educators (Kylie, Rachel, Sara and Trish to name a few) and sometimes says their names when he is excited to see them. He also eats multiple servings of the food cooked daily by Simon. Shannon is a great campus director!
We have been a family with OAC Ferny Hills for over 4 years now and they are a wonderful centre. A lot of the same staff are still there from when my oldest daughter started and the Educators are caring and very skilled. They are very inclusive of all children with different abilities, which tells you so much about the culture they foster. We are very happy.
We have had a wonderful experience with OAC Ferny Hills - they are really supportive, provide updates and photos on their app and have great activities and staff.
Best day care centre in the area (and we’ve tried multiple). Facilities are fantastic, very modern. Educators are amazing. Most have been there for many years which is always a great sign. So attentive with the kids and build such strong relationships with the families. Highly recommend! We send both of our boys there, and they are so happy.
Incredibly grateful for the wonderful team at OAC Rose Bay Village. All the educators are kind, caring, loving and genuinely care about all the children and their development.
We have been so happy sending our child there - as a parent you want to know that your child feels safe, valued, cared for and happy. OAC Rose Bay Village goes above and beyond to do this and more.
We have seen the positive impact that all the amazing staff and OAC Rose Bay Village has had on our child. Highly recommend!!

My son has been attending Only About Children Hornsby for a year now. While we initially struggled with tearful drop-offs, the warmth, care, and expertise of the entire team always reassured us. Over time, my son has grown to feel safe and happy at the centre. We’ve seen tremendous progress in his social and physical development. The team has been instrumental in helping us meet our goals for him, and they continuously set new ones based on his evolving needs. Their transparency and open communication give us confidence in OAC, keeping us informed and involved every step of the way. Thank you for your ongoing support.
My son loves: (his words)
- the yummy food
- watering the plants
- story time

Love this centre, everyone is so welcoming and accommodating. The nursery educators are so wonderful to our baby. We are super lucky ❤️
Could not be happier with my experience with OAC Southbank. Location, staff and most of all my son’s growth speaks for itself. Highly recommended.
