Bloombird Early Childhood Education & Preschool, Rose Bay

We've had a wonderful time being part of the Angels of the Bay community. The staff are experienced and caring and - although the facilities may appear basic compared to new/modern centres in the area - the centre caters for its children with a variety of daily activities and fun outdoor space. After sending my eldest to a pristine pre-school in Double Bay where the children were segregated in rooms by age, Angels was a breath of fresh air, with the children playing in the Mud Kitchen, collecting the chooks' eggs in the morning and being allowed to be ... kids! Free range kids at that. If you are looking for a childcare facility with heart, somewhere your children will feel part of a genuine, multicultural community, then Angels is for you.

Our son has been at Angels in Rose Bay for the last 9 months and our daughter is starting next year. In a nutshell, we think it is wonderful. Friendly smiling staff, low staff turnover (none in the time we've been there), great facilities - a beautiful redecorated old church inside and chicken pen/worm farm/mud outside!, free organic eggs from the chickens each week, and happy kids. They hold lots of events through the year so you feel connected/involved as a parent. Honestly, this is a hidden gem that i'm glad we stumbled upon. Thanks to the Angels team for everything so far.

Our youngest two children attend this pre-school and adore being a big part of a great family. They feel safe, they love playing with their peers and have grown so much as individuals during their time at Angels. Not only do the kids feel like a part of a great team, we as parents feel greeted and welcomed each time we drop off and collect our kids.
