Amazing Kindy. Best kindy my son has been too.
They are simply amazing.
Helen is always so helpful and understand.
The girls in my son’s are truly brilliant.
He has come so far with his learning, self care and social skills.
They cater for everyone.
Wont be disappointed!!
Best kindy ever!!

They take such great care of our boy, they are like a second family to us! The facilities are large, clean, filled with fresh air and packed to the rafters with things to entertain and teach the kids. My son loves his care giver’s in the nursery and is well fed with healthy food each day too. The place just has a great feel about it, with birds and fish at the entrance, and even some friendly chickens out the back! Definitely recommend!!

My almost 4 year old started here when he was exactly 6 weeks as I had to get back to work and from that day the team here made the transition an easy one. The educators have a positive outlook and it always seems like a happy environment whichever day or time I go for drop off or pick up. The team work with the swim school next door and do supervised collection for swimming lessons which is a god send for our busy work schedule. All the educators know my son whichever room they are from and my son absolutely adores them. I would highly recommend.

Oh my goodness! What an amazing child care centre! Helen & Hannah and team – you all go above and beyond and I am eternally grateful! Such a vibrant, exciting place to learn with a team of educators who seem to all really enjoy working with each other to start with (which is hard to find these days, right?), genuinely LOVE the children and LOVE their job. You guys rock! Keep being awesome!

Thank you to Helen and her team for the last 1-2 years, it has been so lovely to watch our son grow in confidence over his time with you all.

We have been so lucky to have such a wonderful experience with all of our Son’s educators. We have only ever been met with smiles and open arms. Drop offs can be hard at times but someone was always ready with open arms to give our Son a reassuring hug.

Everyone’s passion and love for all the kids shines through!! We can only hope he finds a bond at his new centre like he has with Miss Mandy, Miss Jess, Miss Kellie and Miss Sjirlie – he has been so lucky!!

My son has been attending Story House Southport for 6 months now and he absolutely loves it! The Educators are all so caring and were very supportive of him and his needs while settling in to his new Kindy. Everyone is always so happy and welcoming. It’s so nice to walk in and be greeted with a smile everyday. Can not thank everyone enough for their love and care of our little boy. It’s also so great that he can do swimming lessons with his friends from Kindy! And we love the daily photos and updates we receive. Thank you
