Centre Reviews
Our daughter couldn’t be happier at Guppies. She has built a beautiful bond with all of the staff and I go to work... Our daughter couldn’t be happier at Guppies. She has built a beautiful bond with all of the staff and I go to work knowing she is in safe and loving hands. She has a special bond with Miss Susan who has been present since our daughter started in Babies and has since moved to Toddlers. Miss Susan has such a kind soul and you can tell the children are drawn to her warmth. Miss Maria and Miss Juana also deserve a shout out. Guppies always takes feedback on board and accommodate any special requests made. Read more
