What Parents Say
"I am so glad we found Miss Rachel’s family daycare. Our daughter has absolutely thrived here. We had a difficult experience at another centre, and felt our daughter needed more personalised care. When our daughter first had a stay and play she was so happy from the get go. Rachel is so warm, kind and the children absolutely adore her. I could not recommend Rachel more if I tried."
"I currently have my 1 year old son at Fun with Kids and I can honestly say there is no where better!!
The love and attention that Rachel gives to children is above and beyond, she is THE baby whisperer (Rachel even sleep trained my son)!
The daycare is fun, colourful, stimulating, safe, hygienic and incredibly exciting for little kids! If these things are important to you, you won’t be let down!
Rachel makes all the children and their parents feel like part of her own family.
We are so thankful to have found Rachel, our whole family adores her!
We love you Rachel !"
"We couldn’t be happier with our experience at the centre. Rachel has created a caring and nurturing environment that feels like family. Our son attends three days a week and absolutely loves it — he’s always excited to see Rachel, play with the other kids, and be part of the activities. The sense of community is something really special, with the families and children all being so lovely and supportive. Rachel’s genuine kindness and dedication shines through, and we’re grateful to have found such a wonderful place for our son to learn and grow."
"We can't express enough gratitude for having Miss Rachel in our lives. The thought of daycare initially made me anxious, but Miss Rachel's warmth and care has made the transition seamless for our daughter. The way she lights up when she sees Miss Rachel is truly heartwarming. Knowing our daughter is in such loving hands brings us immense peace of mind. Under Miss Rachel's guidance, our daughter has blossomed, forming new friendships and showing noticeable improvements in her development. We're so thankful we found this amazing family daycare."
"My son has thrived being in Miss Rachel’s care. It took no time at all for him to settle in. Rachel is an educator with intuition and vibrancy! She is always full of life, ready to care for our kids. There is so much peace sending my son off to her for the day. The activities and themes are always thoughtfully planned out and engaging for the kids. More than being a great educator, Rachel is a wonderful person too, who truly cares for all the families. Very grateful to have found this little daycare! 💫"
"Our Son started at Fun with Kids at the start of 2023 being his first experience at a Kindy. We are ever so lucky to have found Rachel and her loving centre. Since starting he has thrived and hasn’t on a single drop off been sad to be left only sad when he’s being picked up and having to go home!
Our son has made some special friends which he comes home and talks about which makes us as parents so happy to know how much he loves the company he receives at the centre.
When he is asked why he likes to go to Rachels he will tell you 'Because Rachel is HAPPY'
Thankyou Rachel for caring for our son, bringing him to your centre feels like leaving him with family which as a parent is so special. Your support and knowledge is ever so appreciated."
"We are lucky and grateful to have found Rachel’s daycare. Our son is so happy and learns every day. When I first walked in I had a great feeling. The space is large and calm with lots of educational toys and outdoor play. Rachel is kind, caring and attentive and helps us as parents to develop and adapt as he grows. Thank you Rachel!"
"We are so happy we found Rachel. After only a month of care with Rachel it has been the best move from the big day care centre my son was at previously. Rachel gives so much to all of the children and her space. Her communication and interest in the children’s development and knowledge is something I never experienced before. So grateful for every day my son comes home smiling and so happy. Thank you so much Rachel!"
"We love Rachel and everything she does for our son. As a family, we are so happy to have an educator that cares, encourages and nurtures our child as if he were part of her own family. I love the model of family daycare because there is 1 educator to 4 children and it is very personalised to each child. The environment is professional, hygienic but also safe and wholesome."
"On searching for a daycare for my baby, I was so overwhelmed by the ‘big daycare centers’ and how they would ever have time for my little man and his needs.
I’m so grateful to have found Rachel and Fun with kids. Rachel loves all the kids, and works with them to provide a tailored approach. It feels like I’m leaving my baby with family. The Centre is loving, well equipped and Rachel provides the best care and environment I could ask for."
"We came across from a large daycare organisation to Rachels fun with kids well-being family daycare and it has been the best decision we ever made.
We were battling constant sickness every week, and it is now such a relief to see our little princess happy, healthy and thriving.
Rachel has such a deep and loving connection with the children and provides a supportive, safe and nurturing environment.
Rachel is a great communicator and is always happy to discuss about the events of the day.
It’s wonderful to receive updates, photos and videos of the children on how they learn, explore and grow in their development.
I would happily recommend to any parent that is looking for a caring, professional, fun and educational environment for their children.
It is our daughters home away from home.
Thank-you Rachel, your a star ⭐️"
"What can I say about Rachel she is one beautiful lady who is loving, caring and very positive talking lady. My son who had separation anxiety and we tried two different daycare before and all I hear is negative comments from educator which makes me very depressed even though i told them about it earlier about his situation. And I hated the pick ups. But Rachel she is very motivating not just to children but to parents as well. And my son who is so happy with her and the ways she treats him. She is easy to communicate and work as a team for our sons wellbeing instead of pressurising me. I am one happy mumma. we are so Blessed to have her."
"First and foremost I could not thank you and the way you are with our children enough. It is a true testament to you and the environment in which you hold so dearly and proudly at Fun With Kids. You have raised two of my children in the most nurturing, characteristic, emotionally sensitive and grounding ways that our children are a true reflection of the skills, knowledge and insight you have portrayed upon them. We were recommended to you by a colleague/friend and couldn’t thank her enough for sharing her hidden ‘Gem’ (Rachel) with us. We consider you and your husband surrogate grandparents to our children. You are focussed, fair and allow our children to tap into their independency and provide the necessary skills for my son and my daughter to hone in on their natural born abilities.
You have created a very educational, fun, thought provoking indoor and outdoor area in which the children feel very safe and free to move about and experience each and every stimulating idea they have in each of the corners through sensory play. It is from my observation over the 3 years of your services that there is not one space the children cannot access nor a draw or cupboard that is not full with the adventures of life that every kid wants to do at home and cant. The philosophy you have created behind the scenes for Fun With Kids is from the heart.
We could not recommend you enough to help raise our children – we just love Fun With Kids!"
"I feel very blessed to have found Rachel’s daycare and there be a vacancy for my 2yr old son. I had been looking for a long time for the perfect place and I kept coming back to Rachel’s website and was happy to go on the waiting list. But I was thrilled when I was offered a day right away.
Jake had never been to care before so I was a bit concerned as to how he would go but he absolutely loved it and didn’t want to leave.
Rachel made both of us feel very welcomed and like part of the family right away and I knew I had made the right decision for care for Jake.
Rachel’s place is the ideal place for young children with so many activities and things to do. I especially love her outdoor area and can see how much fun her kids have there everyday.
Rachel is also a great communicator and filled me in on how my son was going and sent photos and videos of him throughout the day showing how much fun they were having.
I feel very confident to leave my son with Rachel and I only hope more days become available for me to send him there for more fun throughout the week.
Thank you Rachel for making this experience so easy for us and for caring for my boy so well."
"Racheal is amazing! I’m so lucky to be able to send Harvey to her family daycare, his never been to any daycares before this and I’m so happy with the environment and professionalism that the centre holds. Harvey is always so happy when arriving to be picked up and feel so comfortable leaving him with Racheal. Super super grateful for all she does for him and the activities and teaching she is providing. She loves him as her own. Couldn’t recommend the centre more! LOVE LOVE LOVE"
"Both my children have attended Rachel’s centre, she is incredibly nurturing and provides the best environment for all her kids on a daily basis. They are never without a fun activity and Rachel’s constant guidance to oversee their progression and learning. She has a passion for early childhood development and does not treat her daily tasks like a job, rather it is her mission to work with the parents in bringing out each child’s unique qualities whilst also ensuring their overall development and adjustment to the world. I cannot recommend Rachel enough for your babies and toddlers!"
"Rachel is an amazing family day care educator. Some of the reasons why I think she is the best educator are as follows:
- She loves and cares for each and every child like they are her own
- She focuses on providing a safe and supportive environment for the children to thrive
- She encourages the children and supports their learning through singing songs, music, different craft activities, gardening and encouraging independent play
- She goes above and beyond with giving the parents 'love letters' at the end of each day outlining how the day has been and things they have done/learnt
My child loves Rachel so much that he does not want to come home!"
"Rachel creates a warm, loving and creative environment for our previous children with the most amazing facilities where children can run and play in her large backyard, spacious indoor play area, and everything is clean and in excellent condition. Rachel cared for both my children over a 5 year period and I was so pleased to have found her she genuinely impacted my whole family."
"Rachel is a wonderful educator. She creates a warm and comforting environment which allows my daughter to feel comfortable to go and stay in her care. Rachel creates fun filled activities for the kids allowing them to use their imagination and also develop independence and confidence."
"We are so fortunate to have found Fun With Kids. Rachel currently cares for our daughter and I highly recommend her. Rachel provides learning experiences for all age groups and allows the children to lead the learning by observing their individual interests and needs.
Fun With Kids is more than just a day care centre, it is a warm and loving home where children feel very welcome, loved and safe. Rachel is definitely the safe pair of hands you want looking after your child."
