Here's what our families have to say
Wonderful safe and caring pre-school.
A very happy place where our children love to be.

We have been part of the Only About Children Balwyn community for the past four years, and I honestly can’t speak highly enough of the genuine care, support, and nurturing environment they provide. From the very beginning, the educators and team showed a real commitment to getting to know not just our daughter, but our family - creating a sense of belonging that has only deepened over time.
It’s clear that the staff truly love what they do. They treat each child as an individual, supporting their development with kindness, patience, and encouragement. I have always felt that my daughter was not only safe and cared for, but genuinely seen, heard, and celebrated. One thing I have especially valued is the open and consistent communication - I am always kept in the loop and feel completely confident in how they support my daughter’s wellbeing and development.
There’s also a real sense of community here. Families are warmly welcomed, and there are so many opportunities to connect - from consistent communication via Storypark to informal chats at drop-off. The friendships our daughter has formed (and that I have too!) have been such a beautiful bonus.
Only About Children Balwyn has played such an important role in our daughter’s early years. She has grown in confidence, independence, and joy - and we feel incredibly lucky to have had such a positive, enriching start to her learning journey.

I had two friends recommend this place to me and I'm so glad we moved our 2 year old here! The care has been phenomenal, every carer is so experienced, kind and lovely, and the staff retention here is superb. Most importantly my child is very happy and has made many friends, while also learning new things. I highly recommend OAC Balwyn North!
I have had my child at OAC Balwyn for 3 years and have had no issues with them. Their staff is very professional and are always there to take care of my child’s needs physically and emotionally.
I have personally got to know his educators and they are always friendly, courteous, professional and caring. They are always looking for new ways to teach the kids in interesting and varied ways. Phoebe is on the ball with the whole centre and runs the place well and has a great and committed team working for her.
Highly recommended.

We have had the best experience at OAC Balwyn North. The educators are brilliant, engaging and really care about our son. They go above and beyond. We couldn’t be happier!
Our son has attended OAC Balwyn North for the last couple of years since he was 9 months old, and our experience has been overwhelmingly positive. The environment created by the team is nurturing, safe and fun. The staff are lovely and seem to genuinely care that the children are looked after. We can drop our son off feeling confident that he will be looked after and have an enriching time - we would highly recommend OAC Balwyn North as a great child care for any family.
My kids have been at OAC from
6 months old and are now 2 & 3.
The educators at OAC are fantastic, from Nursery to Toddlers to Kinder. They are always engaging with the children and provide feedback on your child’s day upon pick up.
The campus director Phoebe is fabulous. She is so hand on and I love seeing her on the floor supporting her team and attending to our kids.
Gosh, my kids love Chef David. His meals are delicious and healthy and he serves up amazing morning and afternoon tea from freshly made dips to cakes/muffins/slices.
Thanks OAC team for your tremendous work in caring, support & developing our children.

Absolutely love OAC! The educators are so caring, friendly, and professional – I always feel at ease knowing my kids are in such good hands. They’ve created such a nurturing and fun environment, and it’s been amazing to see how much my little ones have grown and learnt since starting here. Communication is top-notch, the daily updates and photos are such a lovely touch. Couldn’t recommend them more – we feel really lucky to be part of the OAC Family!
We have been part of the campus for over 5 years now and we can’t fault it! They deal with allergies and intolerances extremely well. Their communication is superb which is the key to everything!
Tennyson is wonderful childcare and preschool in Turramurra. It’s a great space for learning and play with a mix of indoor and outdoor spaces. The staff are excellent - very caring with thoughtful activities for the children to learn and explore. My 3 year old daughter is enjoying the experience; she looks forward to going to preschool and is much more content and confident to share about her day.
My bubba started last month and she absolutely loves it! Her educators are amazing and have such a kind nature and genuine care for our girl.
They want to see her develop and grow and it shows with their daily activities. She's thriving and everyone's happy!
