"We are a neuro divergent family. Annie’s Annie's Angels Play And Development Centre has been the best play centre for our 3 year old grandson.
The wonderful educators have communicated with us about his development and together with the family problem solved his love of climbing fences, to keep him safe.
The dedication to all the children and families has been evident during the ongoing COVID pandemic."
Thank you

"Having been in the early childhood education industry for 14 years and a trainer of early childhood educators I can not speak highly enough of Annie's! I drive the hour round trip twice a day two days a week just to have my child/children in care depending if they both have to go. They use the Reggio approach which means they are gentle and guide your child and their day is mostly lead by your child choices apart from routine times like eating and resting. We left another centre because my son was hurt physically by a staff member. Annie's staff restored mine and my sons faith in the industry and now after my son started at 2 we now have our daughter at the centre as my son is at school. Having been the director of a centre I'll advise what I always did, check out both centres in Harvey. I've heard great things about the other but given my history and career I can not speak highly enough of Annies. I'm happy to answer any questions from a parents perspective you may have because I'm so passionate about high quality care for children and I know that's what I get."

"Thank you to the staff and other families of Annies for a fabulous Christmas party last night. There was lots of delicious food brought by the families and the children enjoyed playing together and meeting each other's families. Santa was merry and bright and each child was so thrilled to open a beautiful book. Thank you all for a fantastic year! I feel peace leaving my children each time we come knowing they are loved and cared for well while they are at the centre"

"A truly wonderful centre where the staff are friendly and fantastic with the kids. Honestly, Annie's Angels is a home away from home for the kids! They are the best child care facility I have ever had the pleasure of using (I have used 10 in my time). They have:
*amazing food - they can get my two eating and liking stuff they would never touch at home - avocado, pumpkin, celery, pita bread;
*awesome with the kids as they do toilet training and they help the littlies gain their independence with various tasks;
*very approachable and open to meeting children's individual special needs;
*varied activities from silk worm breeding and snail farms to vegie gardens and flower beds;
*animals visiting - chickens, puppies, kittens, featherless bird chicks being hand raised and fed etc;
*awesome cooking activities with the children - my 2 love the muffins; *even meal times are colourful and creative - wraps filled with each child's choice -by themselves - yep, little tongs in hand each child picks and places their own filling with staff to roll if they can't manage it themselves;
*activities so varied and numerous: playdough - made and played with by the kids, paper cutting and gluing, bubble pictures, mask making, magic sand which sticks to itself, painting, stamping, glitter words and pictures, card making - the list is endless;
*outside play: sandpit, water play, bikes, balls, play house, crawling tunnels, huge barrel of balls, play mat for tumbling, gardens, games (duck duck goose, mr wolf, tag etc), tyres, tent filled with cushions for quiet play and reading, outside road mat and cars, nature adventures, running on the grass barefoot and so much more;
*making music, dancing, singing, story telling, group reading;
*inside play: kitchen area, dolly corner, farm animals and machinery, cars and road mat, trains and tracks, dress ups, blocks, books and reading couch, fantastic doll house, movies and the list goes on.
Sharon Fimmano is also available for YOU, the parent, should you have any issues or concerns regarding your children/family/life issues etc! Some of the more senior staff have listening and empathetic ears with great suggestions and advice.
You get all the above (and more) delivered with the closest love and caring you would ever find to family!!
Psssst - a little secret just between you and me - they even have a pet fish for the kids to take turns feeding!!"

"My 3 and 4 year old's both LOVE it at Annie's and look forward to going to "school" every week :D As a parent i absolutely love the healthy home cooked lunches and the fresh fruit platters the children have! Also the huge home/backyard style play areas, sand pit and the general over all "homely" feel about the centre is what attracted me here in the first place. Very highly recommended. :)"

"I am very happy sending my child to Annie's Angels. She is well cared for. And when my older school aged children go to daycare they are in the same room and all play with each other - a benefit of being a small centre."

"I didn't know day care would include so many learning opportunties like mathemetics, for my child."
