Only About Children Little Village Buderim

Only About Children (OAC) Little Village Early Learning Centre based in Buderim is not only an aesthetically pleasing facility, it’s enriched with highly educated, skilled and knowledgeable early learning educators and is founded on the child-centred learning approach. Over the past year, we have seen the centres education team stablished through permanent staff appointments and studio allocations. Furthermore, we have seen an improvement in communications on safety, quality and general updates across the facility, and a strong feeling of inclusiveness and trust built through family and centre staff partnerships, as well as community. From quality management, a focus on occupational health and safety, catering, considered education and up to date furnishing and learning tools, we feel confident and assured as parents that our child is safe, well looked after, is genuinely having fun and is continuously learning when they attend OAC. We have seen a remarkable and positive shift in the learning and education program deployed within the last six months. We have seen our child go from strength to strength developmentally and become a strong and resilient child. Our child enjoys the incursion and themed week opportunities.

Since April, my two daughters have attended Little Village Buderim, and our experience has been overwhelmingly positive. True to its name, they've cultivated a nurturing 'little village' atmosphere. The educators there are incredibly kind and welcoming. I recall feeling anxious when dropping off my youngest for her first day at daycare, but the staff went the extra mile to ensure a seamless and reassuring transition for both of us. Additionally, the app they provide, which offers photo updates and daily summaries, is a fantastic tool that lets parents join in on their child's journey.

Our son has been at this daycare since the end of 2020 starting in the nursery - I don’t have a bad thing to say about them they’re such a lovely team and really focus on supporting our son and family! As a first time mum I was very nervous about daycare but they absolutely put my mind at ease with regular updates and my son just absolutely loves going there! He has made beautiful friends and loves all the challenges - I credit them for a lot of his social and educational growth!

This centre may have been ‘exceeding’ in their NQS rating back in 2017 but it’s definitely time for a review. The little children are not well supervised in the yard- numerous times I witnessed staff talking and not watching the kids. The rooms are old and desperately need new resources. The staff are constantly changing. I elected to remove my child due to being one of the many crying near the door- waiting to be collected. They refused to waive the four week notice period even though I didn’t feel safe sending him.

My child has been going to LVB for over a year now and we love it. The facilities are kept clean, there's a great selection of toys to play with, the playground and sandpit great. My child is catered to his very specific dietary needs and the educators are happy to use our cloth nappies on him. I love all the educators I've met there too...and kinda wish I went to daycare!

Little Village provide a truly child-centred approach to early learning. Their attention to detail from the environment they create, to the team they employee, the food and activities they provide are all exemplary. We are so pleased to be a part of the Little Village community and would un-reservedly recommend Little Village to any family. Our daughter's life is richer and more beautiful for being a "Little Villager" 🙂

Cannot fault. The women looking after our children as so kind and caring, the children are they are all so happy. They have a wonder selection of resources and toys, the activities for the children are so engaging. Our boys love it. They are thriving. Management is so understanding and it truly is a happy little village.
