WHAT OUR PARENTS SAY
“We have had our daughter at Active Kids Moore Park since she was 8 months old. We cannot recommend them enough. Our daughter loves going to day care and it amazes us every day how much she learns there. The staff are amazing, the team is supportive, kind and caring. Always so supportive of the families. As it’s a smaller centre all the staff know the kids and the families. It has such a lovely supportive environment and the other families are lovely as well. If you are looking for a centre that will help your child thrive in a safe and supportive environment then this is the place.”
