I returned to work after 6 months which was earlier than planned when my husband was made redundant. We hadn't even thought about childcare options yet and suddenly were faced with needing to make a decision and quickly. I visited a couple of centres in the area but when I walked into Rocket Kids I just knew we had found the right place. From our first playdates I was impressed by the cleanliness and order, I was so impressed when I arrived and all the boosters were sitting down quietly eating their lunch, this was not like the madness I'd experienced elsewhere!!! I loved how there was the little outdoor area and playrooms for the littlies and activities designed to stimulate AND entertain them. On my first day I was really nervous but my mind was put at ease. Being younger than the rest of the kids and not crawling yet I was worried she might get lost and upset but not at all. The care and love that the girls have for her just makes my heart melt and Nina is just so comfortable with them. Their care in my routine was fabulous as I know it was a juggle and helping me with solids was great too. I was really impressed when I told Stefanie that Nina was starting to climb and then she went about setting up an obstacle course for the kids so Nina could get some practice.
It's almost embarrassing how much Nina loves coming to Rocket Kids. She launches herself off my hip into the arms of the girls and it took her 6 months to actually wave me goodbye! I wish I could stay too instead of going to work as there is just so much fun going on. I couldn't recommend Rocket Kids more and will definitely be making new babies to come along and have fun with Nina too.

Rocket Kids is an amazing day care centre, I have trusted the cared of my two children for nearly five years. Their level of professionalism and commitment towards the children is outstanding. They have good procedures in place that make the centre to operate extremely well. I would highly recommend Rocket Kids to everyone who wants its little ones to be well cared.

It really does feel like yesterday when I dropped Teghan & Reese off on their very first day… And your (Rocket Kids) very first day! Teghan was six months away from starting school and Reese was only six months old. I was days away from returning to work and like so many other Mums remember suffering from a major case of the guilts… I was particularly worried about Teghan who had up till then been with the same Barnados caregiver for 3 years and I wondered how she would adjust, especially as she was about to start school in a few months’ time. So what I remember most about that day was – when it came time to leave – I’d hardened myself up to have to deal with a few tears or little gladwrap arms clinging to my legs, asking me not to go… Instead Miss 4 gave me a big hug and a smile and then she was off while Miss 0.6 was in – Marleina’s arms I think – happily checking out her new surroundings. Actually what I remember most is walking home with tears in my eyes thinking – geez they could’ve been just a little bit sad! LOL… But seriously – it was such a huge relief and a really good feeling knowing my girls were happy to be left with you that day and for the next 4.6 years until Reese left to start school.
On behalf of our family, we will always be grateful to Rocket Kids for the awesome level of care, learning experiences, your focus on fun and family, and most importantly your genuine fondness for the girls. Now aged 9 and 5, Teghan and Reese have special memories of their time at Rocket Kids and you are still big part of our family conversations. Reese in particular misses you all big time – her teachers and the friends she made and although she’s happily settled into school life, I’m sure if she was given the chance she’d ditch it tomorrow to come back… We all miss you guys.
Take care team and we promise to stay in touch and drop by now & then for catch ups.

Our son Lucas is 15 months old and has been at Rocket kids for 6 months. It has been a wonderful experience for both us and Lucas. As a first time mother its always very nerve racking putting your child into day care, but we couldn’t have asked for a better place for him to be. The girls there look after Lucas as if he was their own child, they not only make sure he is entertained, educated and stimulated, but also shower him with love and attention. And on an upside they do lots of messy play, so I don’t feel guilty if we don’t do it much at home. I could not have asked for a better day care experience for Lucas, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Rocket Kids to anyone looking for a loving and nurturing environment for their child.

From the outside it looks like an ordinary house, but curious to see what was inside we were quite surprised to see so much life, colour, energy and excited children! Our son Lincoln thoroughly enjoys going to Rocket Kids. When dropping him off in the morning, we feel secure to know that he is getting quality education and resources to support his learning needs. The staff are very professional and down to earth, making it a warm, friendly and family-oriented atmosphere. Thanks to Rocket Kids we know Lincoln is getting a great start to his education!
