Since our family recently moved to Australia, we had many worries about sending our kids to kindergarten, both language-wise and culturally.But in the end, both of our children have happily adapted and are truly enjoying their time here.Here are the things I love most about this kindergarten:1. The teachers always treat the children with genuine warmth and care. (Our whole family truly love every teacher here 🤍)2. We receive detailed and thoughtful feedback about the children’s daily activities.3. Because it’s not a large centre, each child receives more personal attention and support during their adjustment period.4. The centre is nature-friendly and has a wonderful playground where children can play freely.5. The director, Tina, is always warm and professional. She’s honestly one of the most lovely people I’ve met.We’re so thankful and wanted to leave this heartfelt review.If you’re considering this kindergarten, I truly recommend visiting, you’ll see why we love it so much!

We’re so grateful for the caring, professional team at St Ives Chase Kindergarten. The educators don’t just supervise—they actively teach good manners and nurture creativity through thoughtful activities and everyday moments.The centre itself is fantastic: there’s a generous open space where children can safely run and explore, and the classrooms are always clean, tidy, and well organised. Hygiene is clearly a priority, you can see how much time and effort the staff invest in keeping everything spotless. I also personally love the brightness from the rooms, which is not very common around here for some reasons.We’ve also been impressed by how smoothly and thoughtfully events are managed. Communication is clear, details are considered, and families always feel included. It’s reassuring to know the centre consistently follows government guidelines and best practices.A special THANK-YOU to Tina and her team for supporting our family through a very tough period. We’re deeply grateful for the kindness and care we received.Thank you for creating such a warm, safe, and inspiring environment. Our family truly appreciates everything you do. Now that our daughter has a little sister, we’ll definitely be back when she’s old enough!

I have had experiences with 5 nurseries and pre-schools in three different countries over the past 5 years and St Ives Chase Kindergarten has been the best.The team brings such warmth, calm and enthusiasm to all of their activities with the children. This is a special place where I can see my child gaining in confidence, growing at his own pace and having fun.

We love St Ives Chase Kindy. Our two sons have both been there, with one still currently attending!The staff are nothing short of supportive, loving & caring. We’ve lived all over Sydney (incl. Central Coast) and still drove our eldest down to St Ives Chase Kindy each day. If you’re looking for a service that acts a second home, then St Ives Chase Kindy is it ❤️

We are very happy with St Ives Chase Kindergarten. Eight years ago, we sent our daughter here and she had a safe, joyful experience. Even though many new centres with seemingly better facilities have opened nearby since then, we still chose to send our second child here.Director Tina is highly responsible, always responsive to parents’ needs, and stands firm on the right values. The teachers are all very caring and nice; from what I’ve observed, many of them are also parents themselves, which makes them empathetic and understanding of families’ needs — something we value a lot.We strongly recommend this kindergarten.

We cannot express enough how happy we have been with the care our child has received at St Ives Chase Kindergarten. After moving from another centre, it has been the best decision to choose this centre.Tina and her team have created such a safe and nurturing environment where the children are engaged and supported to learn and grow. The centre has a great community feel with lots of parent involvement and activities, and we have felt welcomed from the very first day.My child is always excited to go to kindy, and comes home talking about all the amazing things she has done throughout the day and how much she loves all the educators and her new kindy friends.

We're extremely grateful to the care provided to our daughter by the team at Chase Kindergarten. Moving her from her previous place of care was a big decision but has proved to work well for her and her development. The team at Chase provide an ideal structure and rhythm for the kids, that we feel sets them up well for primary school. The photos the team post on the parents app, the events they hold for kids (and parents) and the regular communications mean you are not just joining a kindergarten you are joining a community. Having checked out numerous other alternatives before choosing Chase, the yard and the play equipment are exceptional and give the kids a great amount of space to enjoy themselves

Love love love this centre! We recently changed centres due to a variety of reasons and I was nervous to have my daughter start somewhere new, but I can easily say it was the best decision we could have made. The teachers are so welcoming, wholesome and their approach to each and every child is very positive. The activities they do, the little concerts they put on for events (Easter Mother’s Day, fathers Day, Christmas) are so thoroughly organised and you can tell how much love and care goes into the centre. Don’t hesitate!

Our family couldn't be happier with this kindergarten! We've had both our children attend, and whilst our eldest has now moved on, our younger one is still thriving there after more than two years. The staff are incredibly nurturing and kind, creating a truly caring environment where we know our child feels safe. They go above and beyond in every aspect, focusing on overall wellbeing, excellent nutrition, and engaging learning experiences. We've also been so impressed with how well they prepare the children for school. It's truly a wonderful place that prioritises every child's development.

I cannot express enough how much I cherish St Ives Chase Kindergarten. The team is truly exceptional, going above and beyond to care for our children. Tina, with her kindness and nurturing spirit, runs the school seamlessly, making me feel completely confident that my son is not just looked after, but genuinely cared for. His well-being is always their top priority.Educationally, my son has blossomed into a smart and confident child, and I believe he is wonderfully prepared to start primary school in February, thanks to the dedication and effort of the entire team in teaching our kids. Although we’ve only been at the center for a year, I often wish I had listened to others and enrolled him when he was just 2 ½. Rest assured, once my youngest reaches that age, we will definitely be enrolling her as well.Thank you, Tina, and the entire team. We are forever grateful for the love, support, and dedication you show every single day to each child. You truly make a difference in their lives.

I can't say enough about what a beautiful and nuturing environment St Ives Chase Kindergarten is. My son was there for 3 years and thrived during that time. He was always happy to go, and happy on pickup. The teachers are amazing people who genuinely love each of the kids. I felt so secure in knowing that he was so looked after, which made going to work so much easier. Since moving on, we still miss the carers, thank you St Ives Chase for being such an important part of our lives :-)

We absolutely love the warm staff, community vibe and huge space here, couldn’t recommend it enough.The staff are absolutely amazing - every one of them. They’re so warm and have created a wonderful community environment that we and our children are grateful to be a part of.Both our little ones had a great transition into their first experience of childcare here, our little girl when she was 3 and our little man when he was 2.5yrs.The app posts show how much fun they’re having whilst learning so much through all the well-structured, play-based activities.All the concerts and parades the children do at various points through the year are absolutely fantastic and heaps of fun to watch.Our little girl is off to St Ives North Public School next year and we feel this preschool has been excellent preparation for her. She has also made several great friends that will be starting school with her too!

Safe, clean and well organised kindergarten. The teachers are committed, loving and caring. There is a community vibe and you always feel connected with the centre. Teachers always come up with innovative ways to teach kids and organise creative activities to keep little brains busy. My boy had a great time at St Ives Chase Kindergarten.

We are so thankful to all the teachers at St Ives Chase kindy. This is a truly wonderful preschool that focuses on developing the children's ability through play. Our little girl loves going to school here, plus the large playground area out the back is great for the kids to be able to run around.

An excellent kindergarten. My kid is very happy and progressing very well the two years in St Ives Chase. They have the most caring teachers and wonderful activities the children enjoy. They also take into account parents’ concerns and dedicate in providing a quality education and atmosphere for everyone here in the service. I very appreciated their supports at this critical time as well. We will remember all happy memories here. Thank you!

The best decision my husband and I ever made, was enrolling my son at St Ives Chase Kindergarten. He went from a shy, anxious little boy and grew into a confident, happy, driven young man. The staff at the centre are brilliant with no high turnover of educators which happens in many other local centres. The majority are experienced mothers themselves, but even the younger teachers are extremely passionate about educating. The program is nurturing, structured and highly educational. I can't speak highly enough of the centre. I will miss the team now that my son has gone off to big school but I'll always remember everything they have done for our family. Anyone looking to enrol should very much consider letting their children flourish in this beautiful, safe, and loving environment. Thank you guys!
