1. Happy Kidz Cannington Family Day Care
5 (29 reviews)score 84/100
Jaya's service leads this list on composite score, backed by a perfect 5-star average across 29 reviews, the largest review base among these picks. Parents describe real progress on milestones like toilet training and healthy eating, inside a home setting where kids visibly feel secure.
- Single, consistent educator (Jaya) rather than rotating staff
- Home-like setting that eases separation anxiety
- Active support with toilet training, eating habits and social skills
- Flexible hours, including weekends and overnight care
Services: long day care, infant toddler care, family day care, before after school care
2. Rightway Learning Family Day Care Services
5 (31 reviews)score 79/100
Rightway pairs a solid 5-star average over 31 reviews with genuine structure, families mention the Early Years Learning Framework by name and consistently praise Neetu Chopra's team for communication. It also trains and places educators itself, which explains the broader, more organised feel than a single-carer setup.
- Neetu Chopra and staff known and named by families repeatedly
- Structured curriculum tied to the Early Years Learning Framework
- Multicultural programming and school-transition support
- Backs multiple family day care educators across north-east Perth
Services: family day care, long day care, learning center, kindergarten preschool
3. Cute stars family day Care
5 (9 reviews)score 77/100
Cute Stars has a clean 5-star record, though on 9 reviews it's a smaller sample than the top two picks. What stands out is Sonia's daily check-ins and detailed feedback, plus parents noting real gains in their child's confidence and independence.
- Named educator (Sonia) praised for patience and warmth
- Daily morning check-ins and detailed feedback
Services: family day care, long day care, before after school care, learning center
4. Melody Education Family Day Care
4.8 (17 reviews)score 76/100
Roselyn has run this Booragoon service for 8+ years, and it shows: families highlight regular outings to the zoo, SciTech and local libraries alongside steady updates on their child's development. Sentiment is strong overall at 4.8 from 17 reviews, with 16 of those five-star.
- 8+ years' experience with individual families
- Weekly outings to the zoo, SciTech, libraries and museums
- Small, mixed-age groups that encourage peer learning
- Daily communication and development tracking
Watch out: One review described reluctance to discuss fees upfront and a dismissive tone when pressed on cost, worth clarifying pricing before you commit.
Services: family day care, long day care, education center, before after school care
5. Zias Little Friends Family Day Care
5 (5 reviews)score 68/100
Every review of Zia's service is five stars, with parents describing a genuinely personal connection rather than a drop-off transaction. That said, the sample is only 5 reviews, so treat this as a promising but lightly-tested pick.
- Personal, hands-on attention from Zia herself
- Creative play and hands-on learning activities
Services: family day care, long day care, learning center, education center
6. ABC Kangaroo Family Day Care
5 (4 reviews)score 55/100
ABC Kangaroo's four reviews are unanimously five-star and describe a warm, nurturing place where kids become noticeably more sociable. It's an honest inclusion at low confidence, the review count is small and none are recent, so there's less to go on than the picks above.
- Welcoming, nurturing environment
- Attentive staff noted across all reviews
Watch out: Reviews are limited to four and none are recent, so recent consistency is harder to confirm.
Services: education center, long day care, infant toddler care, family day care
7. Fatima Family Day Care Morley
5 (2 reviews)score 53/100
Fatima's Morley service has just two reviews on record, both five-star, describing a nurturing setting with regular photo and video updates for parents. It's worth a look, but the sample is too small to call this a proven track record yet.
- Regular photo and video updates for parents
- Warm, affectionate, hands-on approach
Watch out: Only two reviews so far and none recent, so there's limited evidence to judge consistency over time.
Services: long day care, family day care
8. WA Bright Kids Family Day Care Service
5 (1 reviews)score 51/100
WA Bright Kids currently has a single review, rated five stars, which isn't enough to draw real conclusions about day-to-day care. It's included here as a registered family day care option in the area, but treat it as an early-stage listing rather than a settled pick.
- Operates as an in-home family day care option
- Its lone review to date is a 5-star rating
Watch out: Only one review exists and overall sentiment reads as mixed, so there isn't yet enough feedback to judge this service reliably.
Services: 24 hour emergency care, long day care, infant toddler care, family day care
