My little one comes home learning new things everyday. Other than developing important skills and cognitive functions, she’s taught how to share, how to be kind, mannerisms and a lot more.

Leanne Nyugen

The team at McDowall show nothing but support towards my child and my family. I find the team here to be of above high standards for caring, nurturing and has the dedication and commitment to the children’s learning.

She is excelling phenomenally and it’s all thanks to the team at McDowall for always encouraging my daughter and keeping her mind always active. I would highly recommend McDowall village childcare for anyone looking for the excellent quality of care for their child.

We have had our daughter at Mcdowall Village Childcare for just over a year and half and we couldn’t be happier with the way Shannyn has turned the centre around. Her and the staff are so lovely, helpful and keep you informed and up to date with anything happening in the centre. There is something fun and new every month for the kids and our daughter just loves her days there. Thank you Shannyn and all the staff for making Emilia feel so loved and at home with you all.

Being first-time parents, we made sure we did our research when selecting a daycare centre for our son. Since day one, the carers have been helpful and friendly. We go in, and they all know us and our son by name. Having smaller, more intimate rooms, we feel our son Patrick is always getting attention and being included in everything. The daily stories are great in keeping us updated with what the children get up to during the day, but the main thing is, Patrick comes home happy and exhausted from all his fun. He loves his teachers and his friends and that’s the most we can ask for. We have no hesitation recommending the centre to anyone looking.
