The most important quality in a daycare is its staff and Giraffe have the loveliest staff imaginable. Every single staff member takes such an interest in the kids and their development. They all seem to know every child’s name, so you feel like you’re bringing a minor celebrity into the centre every time you walk in. They know some kids find the transition to daycare hard and the level of patience and support is incredible. The centre director Flora is always there to give kids a cuddle when they need it. The continuity of staff has also been great, a staff member or two will always move up with the kids to the next room so they’ve always got a familiar face. It really does feel like everything centres on the wellbeing of the kids.
