I’ve had two of my children attend Bright Minds Academy Waterside Childcare Centre, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment we enrolled, the staff have been warm, professional, and truly dedicated to nurturing each child’s growth. The educators take the time to understand my kids’ individual needs and interests, which has made a huge difference in their development and happiness.

The centre’s flexible hours have been a lifesaver for our busy family schedule, and the environment is always safe, welcoming, and stimulating. I’ve seen my children thrive with the engaging activities, and I appreciate that fresh, healthy meals are prepared on-site every day.

Overall, Bright Minds Academy Waterside has been a fantastic place for my kids to learn, grow, and feel cared for. I highly recommend it to any family looking for quality childcare and early education.

My daughter has been at Bright Minds for 2 years now and she absolutely loves it. The staff are all wonderful, and Kim (centre manager) keeps all the parents up to date with absolutely everything.
My girl has completely come out of her shell and I'm blown away with everything she's picked up on since laving family day care and starting here. I was nervous moving her to a centre but it's been an absolute dream! Couldn't recommend them enough.

Bright minds waterside is absolutely amazing. We have used this centre for roughly 3 years and our son has recently graduated 🎓 and off too big school. He has come so very far in his journey with bright minds. They accomitated to all things academic, social and personal. The staff have helped our boy get ready to face big school. They helped him work through some behavioural issues he was facing and were excellent with family communication and implementing strategies used at home.
Im super excited for our baby girl to start next year. Thanks to the BMA team 😍

This centre has been absolutely amazing for our son, we have attended for 2 years now and can honestly say we will be so sad when the little one has to start kindy.
Preschool has not been an easy journey for our little one trying to find the right centre for our son was a challenge as he has his own difficulties, we started at 2 other centres before finding this one and the progress he has made has been nothing short of amazing.
He loves going to school everyday and the staff are some of the most caring, nurturing and well versed educators I have ever dealt with, the open and honest lines of communication between staff parents and the centre manager has been so beneficial to us as a family.
We could not ask for more for our son, we have found our experience with ALL at Bright Minds waterside to be a very positive one, anyone looking for a quality centre this one will not disappoint ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Gorgeous facility. I'd love to spend time there myself and let my inner child out. The environment is amazing for learning and ive seen a huge improvment in my daughters language, play habits and mood. The staff are next level. Friendly, organised and I know shes in the best hands. She comes home excited about her day. 5/5 if i could give 10/5 I would
