What Tuggerah families say

Childcare 5 Star Review

After relocating to the coast from Sydney and having my 2 year old change to Oz Education Tuggerah, I am super happy with the staff here. From day one, they have been so supportive in helping my little one settle in. I also had my 6 month old commence daycare here and they are wonderful with her. The childcare centre is always clean and tidy and the activities are always engaging from drop off to pick up.

Isabel

Childcare 5 Star Review

The staff at Oz Education Tuggerah early learning centre are so amazing, kind and caring to our two children. They go above and beyond to make sure they are cared for and feel special. The director listens to any concerns raised and takes appropriate action is anything arises.

Childcare 5 Star Review

Oz Education at Tuggerah is a fantastic preschool, their program includes dance and a soccer joeys class. My daughter loves it here – she’s thriving and learning something new every day. All educators and the management team could not have been more helpful accommodating my needs as a commuter and supporting casual days. I cannot fault their care for our little one or consideration for our family.
