We tried to send our 7-month-old daughter to this centre but the teacher of my daughter was surprisingly cold to kids and babies. I stayed there for more than two hours and the teacher didn't smile once at any of the kids or babies there. The centre manager was lovely though. The teacher barely talked to the babies and kids and only spoke to them to criticise what they were doing. When she was changing one baby's nappy, the baby was screaming but she didn't make any attempt to console him or talk to him. I felt so sorry for him. I found the communication with this centre was often frustratingly bad from the beginning. I visited several ECE centres and I felt good vibes in others but not this one. However, It was the only one which had space available for my daughter. I should have trusted my instinct and waited longer for a space to open up elsewhere. My daughter is now happy with a nanny but I'm writing this review to help other parents and babies.

As new parents, we had no experience with daycares and It was difficult to choose which day care is the best. We wanted a place that would be safe, educational, and close to home. Thanks to the Barnardos friendly and lovely staff who made the transistion very smooth. Every thing we possibly imagine is being taken care of (diapers, food, social, cognitivie and physical skills). I think we've found what we were looking for and more with Barnardos! Our son is being cared... :) Highly recommend this place.
