Families Talk About Dashing Ducks Child Care Croydon

"Dashing Ducks Croydon Child Care is such an amazing centre. We fell in love with it from day one and our view hasn’t changed one bit! It’s very clean and the educators are absolutely wonderful and caring which is what we were looking for. They go above and beyond to ensure each child is feeling safe and comfortable.I couldn’t recommend this centre enough, it really is a home away from home for my child."The love, patience, and genuine care you’ve shown Boris have meant the world to our family."

Chris D. Dad

"My daughter has been at Dashing Ducks Day Care for the past 6 months and we couldn’t be happier. The Centre is so clean and well maintained, the resources and facilities in the centre are fantastic and all of the staff and educators are so friendly, happy and helpful. The communication with parents is amazing we are so impressed with the high quality of love and care that they provide the children. We are so happy to be part of the Dashing Ducks family."

Vanessa C. Mum

"My son is very happy every day he comes home from Dashing Ducks. The educators show so much love and care towards him. They plan lots of fun, interactive experiences suitable for my son who joined Dashing Ducks when he was only 6 months old. From the beginning I have always felt reassured that he is cared for and looked after while I am at work."

Ryan H. Dad

"My daughter has been going to Dashing Ducks Pre School for the past three and half months and absolutely loves it!The centre is spotlessly clean, the educators are amazing and she is thriving. Being a first time mum, I was really anxious putting her into daycare when I returned to work, but it makes it so much easier when she is so happy to go and loves her time there.It is an amazing centre with such caring staff"

Roanna B. Mum

"Our son has attended Dashing Ducks Croydon for just over 12 months and absolutely loves it. The educators take extremely good care of him and he thrives off the structure & daily activities. The daycare is super clean & the outdoor area is large & well covered allowing for plenty of outside playtime. I would highly recommend Dashing Ducks Pre School."

Amanda A. Mum

"We've been attending Dashing Ducks Croydon since it opened. This is the second centre my children (ages 4 and 1.5) have attended, and I am so glad we came across. The educators are beautiful--incredibly caring, loving and attentive to the kids. The Director, Roisin, and owners, Paula and Des, are absolutely fantastic. I really trust their heart and their judgment. It's really nice not being part of a big chain (where we came from). This centre has a lovely family vibe. The two way-communication is excellent. And the facilities and resources have not been spared in any way--it's a gorgeous and unique building (3 heritage homes combined together) and a great, massive outdoor space. Highly recommend!"

Preschool Croydon: A Gentle Start in the Inner West

Finding a preschool or child care in Croydon that feels like a second home takes time. At Dashing Ducks, families across Croydon, Burwood, Strathfield and Ashfield trust us with their youngest children because we get the early years right.

Our nursery program accepts children from 6 weeks of age. Every room is designed around the developmental stage of babies and toddlers: calm spaces for sleep, sensory-rich areas for exploration, and warm educators who build genuine bonds with each child. We follow the Early Years Learning Framework and our programs are tailored to where each child actually is, not where they are supposed to be at a given age.

Our open-door policy, daily communication and low educator-to-child ratios give you real visibility into your child’s day from drop-off to pick-up, so going back to work does not mean going in the dark.
