UNA Sippy Downs is such a warm and inviting centre! The educators are truly beautiful—caring, dedicated, and deeply invested in each child's wellbeing! You feel the instant connection as you walk in the door. The indoor and outdoor learning environments offer rich and engaging learning experiences as well as many animals the children get to engage with and an outdoor splash water park on those hot days!
The Bush Kindy program is amazing and gives children the opportunity to explore nature and learn through hands-on discovery!

I highly recommend this centre. Every time I drop off my child we are greeted by the educators with happy smiling faces.
The educators create fun and engaging experiences for the kids both indoors and outdoors. The outdoor space is full of greenery and has many interesting play areas including a bike path and vegetable garden. My child greets all the animals at the centre when she arrives which makes the drop off very smooth. Highly recommend!

We are thrilled with our experience at Sippy Downs Early Education/UNA. The play area is amazing, providing a safe and fun environment for our children. They love interacting with the multiple animals and eagerly look forward to the ranger visits, which are both educational and entertaining.

The teachers are incredibly caring and attentive, making our kids feel valued and loved every day. The administration team is always helpful and responsive, ensuring our needs are met.

UNA daycare truly feels like a second home for our family. We highly recommend it to any parents looking for a nurturing and dynamic daycare on the coast!

My daughter attended here last year and we had the best experience. Not only are the facilities amazing, but the genuine care from the educators was paramount. Being a first time parent and dropping off our then 12 month old girl was a very daunting experience, and they went over and above to make her feel comfortable and also us as parents feel at ease. We only left the centre this year as we moved house, otherwise would have stayed. Thank you so much for caring for our girl!
