What Parents Think

Note: Robin's Nest Play School is NEW in 2023

Robinanne previously owned Merewether Day Care.

These are the testimonials from her previous parents.

We had the privilege of putting our daughter, Anderson, into the care of Merewether Day Care from when she was nine months old, right up until she started school at five years old.

The standard of care and early learning from Robinanne and her tight team of carers and teachers are second to none. We were able to see the business grow from a small family day care of four children to a boutique early learning day care of sixteen children. It was beautiful to see the values, attention to care and learning, and the abundance of resources, to be carried through that expansion.

The pick-up and drop-off was ideal for our family as it worked better with our working hours and it meant the children could venture out on excursions to art galleries, parks, cafes, exhibitions, and learn from all of those different experiences.

Robinanne wasn’t just our daughter’s teacher, as new parents; she would always offer help and guidance to my wife and I as well. If we had questions about sleeping, eating, and parenting—there was Robinanne with her wealth of knowledge, offering suggestions and peace of mind.

Robinanne was an extension of our family and someone that my wife and I, but more importantly our daughter, loved very much.

Those early years are so very important and I can see the beautiful influence Robinanne has had, and still has, on the development and growth of our daughter.

Thank you
