My son has been part of the Sagewood Joondalup family since just before his second birthday. Out of the three daycare centres we've experienced, Sagewood stood out as truly exceptional. I couldn't stop singing their praises to anyone who would listen. Their commitment to open and honest communication, alongside actively involving parents in the rhythm of the centre, was remarkable. The leadership was outstanding, and the staff were not only highly experienced but also dedicated caregivers, many of them mothers themselves—bringing a sense of comfort and consistency. Regrettably, I find myself in the difficult position of no longer being able to give them the glowing review they once deserved. The centre has undergone significant changes, with a high turnover rate in both management and classroom staff. Long-standing, trusted members of the team have left suddenly and unexpectedly. While I don’t know the reasons behind this shift, it has noticeably impacted the environment at the centre and, most importantly, the children. My son began to experience anxiety about attending Sagewood, which was heart-wrenching to witness. After some of the other mothers who are friends with us spoke to the owner about some of the concerns she came across as very defensive and rude. Although I had hoped he could finish the year there, his well-being and happiness come first. We’ve since moved him to a different daycare, but it is bittersweet to leave what was once a truly outstanding daycare centre. I hope Sagewood can find its way back to being the nurturing and stable environment that made it so special. Read more

We’ve been with Sagewood Joondalup for a while now, (4 years with two children) and even though there have been some changes in management recently, we’re happy to say that things have only improved. The new leadership has brought fresh energy, clear communication, and a real focus on creating the best environment for the children. I was nervous at first but the staff remain as caring and dedicated as ever, and we’ve noticed even more structure, creativity in activities, and attention to each child’s individual needs. Our child continues to thrive here—always excited to go in the morning and full of joy when we pick them up. The transition was handled smoothly, and it’s clear that the new team is passionate about maintaining a high standard of care. We feel confident and reassured knowing our child is in such good hands.
