OAC Williamstown have really stepped it up lately! My 3 children have all come here over the past 6 years and whilst the carers have always shown so much love, care and warmth toward the children, I feel in 2024 they have really improved and made a big effort on extra curricular activities such as excursions, incursions and regular visits from Happy Feet. Well done OAC on expanding your curriculum to make the days at childcare interesting!

We love OAC in Williamstown, our twins have been attending for a few months now and have settled in really well. When we pick them up they are always happy and never cry when we drop them off. The staff are all so lovely and caring.

Karina and her Nursery team, in particular Angela, Zoe and Dipti were just fantastic with my daughter Rose (age 1), helping her to quickly adjust to a childcare environment, especially as she was only attending 1 day a week. Rose loved attending and would always be happy and smiling at pick up time after a fun day of play. I was very sad to leave Williamstown but it just made sense to our family to have both children attending the same OAC centre in Newport. I miss everyone so much and so does Rose!

We love OAC Williamstown, all three of my kids have loved the centre. The staff at the campus are amazing and our kids have thrived there. The campus itself is beautiful too.

My son started at Only About Children in February this year.It’s a big step for a parent/carer of a young child to leave them with people you don’t know.From our orientation day to this day, I have felt safe and comfortable leaving him in the care of the staff (carers) at Only About Children!He has grown so much from his first few weeks (maybe first few months)!Now he walks in and gives a cheeky smile to anyone he walks past!Communication is so important to me. Carers provide routine updates during the day and an end of day daily diaries. It’s so nice to feel like a fly on the wall!Karina, Karen, Aleisha, Olivia, Zoe, Ang and Gracy have been a great support system. I can’t thank them enough.I look forward to continuing our Only About Children journey!
