What do our parents say?
We adore Funtazia because the teachers are very caring and loving. When Ollie moved to the big boys' group, they were so proud, and now whenever we pass the little ones' playground, it's like a cheering squad of aunties. It really feels like home.
They are caring and genuinely interested about children’s wellbeing.
The staff at Funtazia genuinely care about my daughter. From day one, they helped Matilda feel safe and happy. She has never cried when I have dropped her off in the mornings and that says a lot. It is so reassuring.
Kindness and personal/individual observation of my child.
