I’m so happy with Striving Stars! The educators are warm, caring, and truly engaged with the kids. My child loves going there and has grown so much. The director Marzia is fantastic, always responsive and genuinely listens. Also such a clean environment. Highly recommend!

After a child protection issue at my daughter’s previous (big) childcare centre, I started noticing more red flags and didn’t feel safe leaving her there. Moving her to Striving Stars was the best choice. The staff here are so warm and kind, and some even speak Italian, which really helps my daughter feel more at home. The centre has a calm, welcoming vibe, and the multiple cameras in every room give me so much peace of mind. I finally feel like she’s safe, happy, and truly cared for.

Our daughter (now 3) has been attending Striving Stars since she was 8 months old and has enjoyed each day at the centre. She can be quite shy, however the educators are all so lovely and nurturing and helped bring her out of her shell. She truly thrived at the centre and we loved hearing her tell us all about her day full of activities and fun. The centre has a real homely and safe feel to it, and has always been so accomodating in meeting our needs. We unfortunately had to move centres due to moving out of the area, and it was hard goodbye. The centre manager Marzia went above and beyond in preparing a letter for our daughter’s new day care, detailing her daily routine and needs and comforts to help with the transition process. I am truly grateful for each and every one of the educators, centre manager, and director at Striving Stars and highly recommend this centre to anyone looking for day care.

My son is absolutely thriving at Striving Stars! We've been at the same centre for more than 18 months now and I am grateful every day for the outstanding care and support they provide for our family. It's a wonderful learning space with caring, supportive & kind staff. Every day the team facilitate fun and educational activities, and the kids are encouraged to engage with curiosity and confidence. I honestly cannot recommend Striving Stars highly enough to anyone looking for childcare in the Croydon/Burwood/Ashfield area.
