My daughter Iris has been attending Paisley Park Early Learning Centre Sandringham for over two years now, and I can truly say it’s been such a positive experience for our family.
We’ve actually loved this centre since our son was here a few years ago. So when Iris was born, it was a no-brainer for us to want to send her here too. At first, there wasn’t a spot available, so I explored other centres in the Bayside area. While some were large chain centres with good reputations, none of them gave me the same warm, welcoming feeling I got from Paisley Park.
What stood out to me was the vibe — the educators felt genuinely caring, and the environment struck a perfect balance: not too big, not too small, modern but still cozy. When a spot finally opened up, I was thrilled to bring Iris here.
That said, the beginning was not easy. Iris had been cared for by grandparents full-time until she was two, and was used to being surrounded by family love and attention. Her first few weeks at the centre were tough — she cried and screamed every drop-off, and it broke my heart. I also felt so sorry for the educators who had to comfort her, but every single one of them showed incredible patience and kindness — not just to Iris, but to me too.
With their support, Iris gradually settled in. After about two months, the tears stopped, and now she absolutely loves going. She feels safe, cared for, and connected.
Over the past two years, I’ve even seen the centre improve — the facilities, the daily newsletters, the communication with families — everything feels more refined and thoughtful.
To the entire team at Paisley Park Sandringham, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You’ve not only helped Iris grow, but you've also supported me as a parent through those emotional first stages. For any families in the Bayside area considering childcare, I wholeheartedly recommend this centre and its amazing team of educators.

We feel so lucky to have found this daycare for our son. From day one, it’s been clear how much care and thought goes into creating an inclusive, welcoming environment. The educators truly celebrates every child for who they are, and there’s a real sense of community here—not just among the kids, but with the families too. Our son is thriving, learning, and most importantly, he’s happy and excited to go each day. We’re so grateful to be part of a place that values kindness, diversity, and connection. Highly recommend!
