Cressy Road Early Learning

We toured so many places around Ryde/Gladesville before deciding to enrol at Cressy Road. As a first time mum, I didn't really know what to look for when choosing a centre, but choosing Cressy Road was a no brainer. Our son was 8 months at the time and a terrible sleeper who only contact napped in a carrier, so I was really worried about how he would settle into daycare if he were to be forced to sleep in a cot. At Cressy Road, the educator giving us the tour listened to my concerns and showed me the carrier they use to wear any contact nappers, which put me at ease straight away to know they were willing to do that. We have been a Cressy Road family for 2 years now. We absolutely love it there. Lovely caring staff with low turnover and great continuity. The staff are REI trained and very much focus on meeting each child's individual needs, which is well-aligned with our respectful/responsive parenting philosophy. There's a huge outdoor play space with vegie gardens and chickens, which the children learn to take care of. The food is amazing and all freshly prepared on site. I could go on and on about all the positives. The owner Nesha Hutchinson genuinely cares about the children, families and staff members. She is highly qualified and a leader of the industry - I think she's the President of Australian Childcare Alliance, so she right up there setting the standards and best practices for the industry, which she and her staff consistently put into practice on the ground at Cressy Road. We genuinely couldn't be happier with our experience. Thank you Nesha, Odette, Denis, Belinda, Beatriz, Annaliese, Claudia, Laura, Sana, Manal, Alice, Angela, Amanda, David, Hinson, and all the amazing staff I've forgotten to name, for your incredible work!
