My son was enrolled at Gowrie earlier this year and I can confidently say the staff are absolutely amazing, professional, supportive and second to none! They made his transition into the centre so pleasant and easy. Never seen him so happy to go to day care and look forward to it. Would highly recommend this centre if you want a safe, professional,fun and friendly environment for your...

Highly recommend Gowrie, the staff there are fantastic and very friendly. They have a variety of indoor and outdoor activities that change with the development stage of your child. My 15 month old loves it there, especially all the chef prepared food. I personally love getting the daily snapshots and stories at the end of the day.

Our daughter has been at Gowrie for the past 3 years and it is excellent! The staff members are all wonderful, kind, loving, nurturing, personable and knowledgeable. The outdoor space is one of a kind, it's a child's dream space. Every day I'm amazed at what she learns in the preschool room. She has formed close relationships with her educators and has made lifelong friendships.

I researched all childcare options in the region for my son and visited every centre before committing to Gowrie. Gowrie instantly stood out as a calm, well-organised centre. From day one the educators showed my son kindness and have engaged and supported every stage of his development. he has formed a close bond with many of his carers that is truly heartwarming to watch.

My son has been attending Gowrie for almost a year and I could not be happier with his care and the attention to detail the beautiful staff show. From the food menu to daily photo updates to the creative fun activities. I can't speak highly enough. I feel safe and confident with the care my son gets every day and I highly recommend this daycare centre.

Amazing Early Childhood Education Centre! Absolutely Amazing. I know my son is cared by genuine staff who want to see him reach his goals, be happy and make meaningful friendships with staff and children.

We chose Gowrie because it is the only centre that exceeds the ACECQA Standards and uses the Story Park App for family communication such as the weekly program, centre news and daily updates on the children. We were warmly welcomed, instantly flet we could trust the centre managers and educators, and the landscaped yard and home-like natural interiors were familiar to.

I've just moved my son to Gowrie from another centre and it is fabulous. The educators are absolutely wonderful, not to mention it is the most beautiful environment ever!
