BK Song
Oz Education Lidcombe is an amazing daycare, and we highly recommend anyone considering putting their child in here to do so. They are consistently kind, extremely friendly and so well organised. I’m so comfortable leaving my son here, and know he’s always genuinely well looked after. Thank you Oz Education Lidcombe for such a positive experience.
Ellen Stearne
I’ve put my son in Oz Education Lidcombe childcare centre for 2 years (he’s almost 3 now). I’d say the experience has been amazing. The educators are friendly and professional. My son has been well taken care of and he’s always in a happy mood every time I pick him up. I also receive very detailed updates via the app so I know what meal he had for the day, how long his nap is, including how many wet/soiled nappies. I also love looking at the photos of my son’s activities during the day.
