I can\u2019t say enough good things about this place.                                            <\/span>\n                                                                                <\/div>\n                                <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n                                                    <div class=\"g8-google-reviews__slide swiper-slide\">\n                                <div class=\"g8-google-reviews__slide__content-container\">\n                                    <div class=\"g8-google-reviews__slide__header\">\n                                        <div class=\"g8-google-reviews__slide__meta\">\n                                            <h3 class=\"g8-google-reviews__slide__author\">\n                                                Marissa Cooper                                            <\/h3>\n                                        <\/div>\n                                    <\/div>\n                                    <div class=\"g8-google-reviews__slide__rating\">\n                                        \n            <div class=\"stars-container g8-google-reviews__stars-container\">\n                <div class=\"stars empty\">\n                    <div class=\"stars full\"><i class=\"icon-star icon-star-solid\"><\/i><i class=\"icon-star\"><\/i><i class=\"icon-star\"><\/i><i class=\"icon-star\"><\/i><i class=\"icon-star\"><\/i><\/div>\n                    <i class=\"icon-star\"><\/i><i class=\"icon-star\"><\/i><i class=\"icon-star\"><\/i><i class=\"icon-star\"><\/i><i class=\"icon-star\"><\/i>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>                                    <\/div>\n                                    <div class=\"g8-google-reviews__slide__text\">\n                                                                                    <span class=\"short-text\">\n                                                We chose this centre based on its positive reviews, but unfortunately our experience was very different.\n\nOn our son\u2019s very first day, lasting just 3.5 hours in care, included being involved in two separate incidents that resulted in injury.

In one case, another child who staff acknowledged has a history of lashing out, scratched him across the face. Given this was known behaviour, closer supervision and preventative measures should have been in place.\n\nWhen I arrived around 11am to collect him, he was extremely distressed and had a visible injury causing bleeding. I had to ask a staff member what happened and they suggested he \u201cmay have scratched himself,\u201d however that &quot;scratch&quot; later developed a bruise and now a scar. The incident was not witnessed, and no report was created until I requested it be documented the following day. I was also told the centre does not have cameras.\n\nWhat concerned me most was the lack of communication and care from management. There was no follow-up or check-in from the centre manager to acknowledge what had happened or to simply see how my son was after a first day that didn\u2019t go so well.. Instead, I had to approach her..The situation felt minimised and I was largely ignored. After confronting her about it the next day, she said she was &quot;on her way to a meeting&quot; and of the belief that &quot;he was having a good day&quot; not being aware of the second incident at that time.\n\nThe centre also responded referencing their solid policies and procedures, however our experience suggests there are clearly gaps. It is difficult to understand how two injuries could occur within such a short time frame, especially in a room with only two children present.\n\nWhile I understand that accidents do happen, it was the way the situation was handled, and the clear lack of genuine care, particularly given it was his first day, that led us to withdraw our son immediately. Children are highly sensitive to the vibe of their carers, and I\u2019m confident this contributed to his distress.\n\nSince then, he has been in other care settings and has adjusted without issue or distress\u2026says a lot.                                            <\/span>\n                                                                                <\/div>\n                                <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n                                                    <div class=\"g8-google-reviews__slide swiper-slide\">\n                                <div class=\"g8-google-reviews__slide__content-container\">\n                                    <div class=\"g8-google-reviews__slide__header\">\n                                        <div class=\"g8-google-reviews__slide__meta\">\n                                            <h3 class=\"g8-google-reviews__slide__author\">\n                                                Madison Gray                                            <\/h3>\n                                        <\/div>\n                                    <\/div>\n                                    <div class=\"g8-google-reviews__slide__rating\">\n                                        \n            <div class=\"stars-container g8-google-reviews__stars-container\">\n                <div class=\"stars empty\">\n                    <div class=\"stars full\"><i class=\"icon-star icon-star-solid\"><\/i><i class=\"icon-star icon-star-solid\"><\/i><i class=\"icon-star icon-star-solid\"><\/i><i class=\"icon-star icon-star-solid\"><\/i><i class=\"icon-star icon-star-solid\"><\/i><\/div>\n                    <i class=\"icon-star\"><\/i><i class=\"icon-star\"><\/i><i class=\"icon-star\"><\/i><i class=\"icon-star\"><\/i><i class=\"icon-star\"><\/i>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>                                    <\/div>\n                                    <div class=\"g8-google-reviews__slide__text\">\n                                                                                    <span class=\"short-text\">\n                                                I cannot express enough how wonderful Great Beginnings in Gymea has been for my children.

I love how they incorporate play-based learning, which has helped my child develop social skills and a love for learning.\n\nCommunication is clear, timely and excellent!

If the centre is the right fit and a place is available, you\u2019ll receive an enrolment offer for your child. If a place is not currently available in your child\u2019s age group, we can add your child to the waitlist and keep you updated.<\/p>\n<p>To finalise your enrolment, you\u2019ll complete an online enrolment form through a secure link sent by our Family Support Team.

These can be taken for any reason, including public holidays and when children are sick, without requiring families to provide documentation.\"}}]}<\/script>    <\/section>\n\n\n    <section id=\"g8-image-content_22_66a1bd85647a8\" class=\"g8-image-content g8-block-container  \">\n        <div class=\"g8-container\">\n            <div class=\"g8-row\">\n                <div class=\"g8-col\">\n                    <div class=\"g8-image-content__container full no-image\">\n                        <div class=\"g8-image-content__inner-container--image\">\n                                                                                                                    <i class=\"g8-icon g8-icon-g8-pattern-star-heart pattern-one\"><\/i>\n                                                                                        <i class=\"g8-icon g8-icon-g8-pattern-sun-pen pattern-two\"><\/i>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                        <div class=\"g8-image-content__inner-container--content\">\n                                                                                        <h2 class=\"g8-image-content__title g8-block-subtitle\">Contact us<\/h2>\n                                                                                        <div class=\"g8-image-content__content g8-block-wysiwyg\"><p style=\"text-align: center\">We look forward to welcoming your family.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n                                                                                                                        <div class=\"g8-image-content__buttons-group\">\n                                                                                                            <a href=\"\/book-a-tour?centre=great-beginnings-gymea\" class=\"g8-image-content__button\" target=\"\" title=\"Book a tour\"><span>Book a tour<\/span><\/a>\n                                                                                                                                                <a href=\"\/enquire-now?centre=great-beginnings-gymea\" class=\"g8-image-content__button\" target=\"\" title=\"Enquire now\"><span>Enquire now<\/span><\/a>\n                                                                                                    <\/div>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":1800,"parent":59,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-271","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Great Beginnings Gymea | Childcare &amp; Preschool Gymea<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Get the best start to early learning with our child care and preschool programs at Great Beginnings Gymea.
