Little Wishes Early Learning Centre Chermside

Most families experience attentive, warm educators who go out of their way to know their children and keep parents informed through daily updates. Management actively supports settling-in and room transitions. The centre is beautifully designed with age-appropriate spaces. However, one family reported serious lapses in nappy changing in the toddler room, staff inconsistency, and minimal educational structure that required them to move. While the centre has handled recent growth and staff turnover, this outlier concern warrants direct questions about toddler room procedures and educator stability before enrolling.

The centre earns strong praise from most families for warm, knowledgeable educators, rich programs (beach kindy, STEM, French, perceptual motor), and genuine community spirit. Parents report children thrive emotionally and academically, and staff remember each child by name. However, serious safeguarding and hygiene failures have left some families deeply troubled. Reports include a kindy teacher using her foot to move children's heads during rest time, months-long toilet paper shortages in child bathrooms, expired sunscreen left accessible, and neglect of a child's basic care needs. These incidents suggest gaps in supervision and duty-of-care practices that merit careful consideration.
