“My 4-year-old daughter has been attending this daycare since she was 1, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. The teachers are caring, attentive, and truly invested in the children’s growth and happiness. The center is always clean, well-organized, and runs responsibly. Most importantly, my daughter absolutely loves going there every day and looks forward to spending time with her friends and teachers. Highly recommend!”

Our daughter has been attending OAC Chatswood for nearly 12mths and we absolutely love everything about the centre.We moved into the area and as a result had to move day cares, it was a daunting thought, moving our anxious 3 year old from her friends into a new centre but we've never looked back.The educators we're so helpful and welcoming which made the transition easy and our daughter has made some amazing new friends.She's less anxious and more confident which we attribute directly to the educators and environment that OAC Chatswood creates.The management team are always available to chat and discuss anything that comes up and you can see all the staff are happy to come to work, which means they put that energy into the activities with the kids.We also moved just before winter and went the whole flu season with no sickness!!Thank you team!!

Staff is great and lovely with my kids in both nursery and toddler rooms. Room infrastructure (indoor and outdoors) encourage creativity. Daily updates sent to the parents show how the kids are progressing with the teaching program. A bit on the pricey side, otherwise i highly recommend it.

I couldn't be happier with the experience my child has had at this daycare. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel like part of their family. The environment is nurturing, safe, and engaging, providing a perfect blend of learning and play. The caregivers are not only experienced and attentive but also genuinely caring, which gives me immense peace of mind leaving my child in their hands. The variety of activities and the structured routine they follow have had a remarkable impact on my child's development. It's heartwarming to see my little one excitedly share stories about their day and show signs of growth and learning. I highly recommend this daycare to any parent seeking a place where their child can thrive and be truly cared for.

If I could give more than 5 stars I would!! OAC Chatswood Station is the absolute best. Our child has been attending for over 2 years and we could not be happier. The director and all the educators at the campus are so friendly and helpful. They go over and above ALWAYS and it is such a pleasant and professional environment. Our child loves attending OAC Chatswood Station - we have watched our child thrive and grow under the care and education of the wonderful staff at the campus. Would highly recommend!

Our daughter has been with OAC Chatswood for 4.5 years since she was a baby. She enjoys her time there very much. I am amazed how much she has developed and grown over the years, and how well she has bonded with her educators and friends since day 1. Thank you to all the educators at OAC Chatswood! You are doing a fantastic job 🙏

My son had been going to this centre since he turned a year old and I am so happy with the educators there. Nahid and Aman looked well after him and he is 2.5 year old and at the different OAC centre but still remembers Nahid and Aman and all his friends there. It is such a warm and inviting space all the educators are lovely too. Would definitely recommend this centre. Special Kudos and thanks to Nahid and Aman.
