  • ‘Rosebud is a wonderful childcare centre which celebrates diversity, kindness and inclusivity. As a small centre your children have the opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with a dedicated team of educators and form friendships with children in their local community.’

    -Amy McKeown

  • 'Rosebud cottage is an excellent childcare center! Our daughter truly loves going to day care and talks about her teachers and her friends non-stop. Every single staff member knows and loves her and they are all wonderful educators. We could not be happier!'

    -Dominique Chedel-Torrey

  • 'Rosebud has been a home away from home for our kids for over 3 years. It's obvious the staff love their jobs, and know each of our boys so well - they adjust their approach to each child as needed whether at drop off or story time or show and tell. The staff at Rosebud care so much for all the kids that attend. They have so much fun there, more fun than at home! The activities planned are always very thoughtful, and catered to the interests of each child. The kids somehow learn art, numbers, letters, languages, and manners all in one day! The thorough photos and stories from the day always make us smile. Our kids have been to a number of daycare centres in the area and this one is by far the best!  The centre is expertly managed, with great communication. One of the reasons it stands out from the rest for us, is that it has intentionally maintained a small number of kids. This means you don't let lost in the masses as happens in the larger centres. The service is better and kids behaviour can be managed more effectively. Also the kids enjoy it more because they don't get overwhelmed. It just feels like a family. All the staff are really approachable, and you can honestly raise any issue (doesn't matter how trivial or how serious) and they will respond promptly and professionally. We also admire the gentle approach they have to correcting bad behaviour, which is inevitable from time to time.'

    -Ben Walker

  • 'We feel confident that he is in a safe environment cared for by educators who have decades of experience. An important consideration when choosing a daycare. They provide everything from nappies to individual tailored education, all meals and daily communication, but most importantly, rapport and bond with all the children and parents.  Rosebud is a boutique daycare, a safe and loving community which has played an integral positive role in our sons development. We highly recommend Rosebud to any family seeking a bespoke daycare.'

    -Tamara & Ben

  • 'We were very apprehensive about sending our daughter to childcare so were relieved when we met Elizabeth and the lovely educators at Rosebud. From the moment we met with the team during our initial tour of the centre, we felt at ease. We love that it is a small, tight knit community where the educators really do feel like an extension of our family. Our daughter has developed a special bond with her educators, and we have seen firsthand the joy they share with us when she reaches important milestones – which is very special! We feel lucky to have found a childcare that we trust, and where our daughter has thrived.'

    Megan & Anthony

  • 'Our son loves going to the centre as it’s his little family away from his mum and dad. All staff highly skilled in early childhood development. This is evident in the dramatic growth we have seen in our son in not only his cognitive, motor and communication skills, but also his sociability and manners with his peers and the community at large. If you are lucky enough to come across a free position for your child to join the community at Rosebud Cottage Child Car Centre, then you should jump at it immediately!'

    -Kate and Dave

  • 'Our 2-year-old daughter cannot wait for her days at Rosebud Cottage. She runs through the door with huge excitement every time she is dropped off. The Rosebud team are like family, and our daughter absolutely loves every single team member. We have complete peace of mind that she is in the best hands. She is stimulated, engaged and cared for with the utmost love and attention. Communication with parents is fantastic and very comprehensive, and the Rosebud educators take real interest and joy in the children’s development and learning. The education program is broad and thorough, and the extra-curricular activities and incursions are a big highlight for the children, as well as for us when we receive photos and videos! The centre is a very well equipped, clean, bright and welcoming environment. Very highly recommended!'
