My son attended Bright Beginnings from the age of one to five. The staff were incredible, especially the owner who would go above and beyond to ensure we always felt informed, supported and most importantly that our son was well cared for. Our son loved his time there, and he learnt so much.
I would have absolutely no doubt recommending BBM to anyone.
Kylie Ackroyd likes: The Staff were incredible,  and the facility was great.
Kylie Ackroyd dislikes: Honestly didn't really have any, I didn't want him to leave, It would have been good if they had an option for providing food

Bright Beginnings Montessori is an excellent preshool and I would highly recommend them.
I have had two children attend the preschool, the youngest is still there and has attended since he was 9 months.
The staff are kind, caring and treat the children like their own, particularly when they are in the nursery.
The education is part Montessori and part free play allowing the kids to be kids but also providing a very good start for their school education with structure work time.
Vicky likes: Clean buildings, Large play area, good ratio of kids to staff, Caring staff, good collaberation with parents
