    “My daughter started at Small Fries when she was just 4 months old. It was so hard but all the teachers and staff made the process so smooth and effortless. In the almost 2 years of her being there she learnt so much and I will always be grateful for the care and love she received throughout her time there. It was quite bitter sweet taking her out but she is about to become a big sister and I'm sure in the future they will both be back there. Thank you Small Fries Family ❤️”

    “We toured several daycares before settling on Peekaboo and have been so happy with our choice! The low teacher to child ratios and small nature of the center was what drew us to Peekaboo and we haven't regretted our choice since. Our little one started at 9 months and has absolutely flourished at Peekaboo. The teachers are amazing and we were made to feel welcome and part of the family from the get go. I highly recommend them!”

    “This is my daughter’s second daycare, and she started here at 2 years old. To my surprise, she loves Honey Bees from the very first day. we don’t even need a transition period! While I was a worried mum calling many times on her first day, she was super happy, settled quickly, and has made so many friends. She absolutely adores her teachers, especially Juliana, Marisa, and Nicolette. At home, she even copies Juliana and explains things to me just like her teachers do. Every morning she is welcomed with cuddles, smiles, and praise, which makes her so excited to go in. Since starting, she has also begun talking a lot more, which is amazing to see. All the teachers (Karen, Alana) are wonderful, caring, and always quick to reply to any emails or questions. My daughter truly loves Honey Bees and her teachers.”

Kay has also been very responsible, always replying to my emails on time and in detail, which I greatly appreciate as a parent. After just three weeks, my daughter told me she likes Howard, and she has also made many new friends in the class. This gave us so much relief as parents, knowing she is both happy and supported.

It is open, peaceful, full of light and surrounded by nature. I felt very supported on the early weeks where everything was new. Now, after 6 months, I can confidently say that NSGH was the best decision we could have made. I am amazed to see how my daughter is thriving, learning new things everyday, having fun no matter the weather outside. I can feel in our daily interactions how much the teachers and other staff care for her and she also shows she loves to be there by happily talking about them all the time.
