Treasured Tots Early Education

4.9(34)✓ Google-verified

Parents notice their children arrive eager and stay deeply attached to staff. Long-serving educators build real relationships with families, and daily app updates let parents see what their child learns. The centre itself feels warm and home-like, with good outdoor space, nature play, fresh cooked meals, and structured learning. Fremantle parents are willing to drive from other suburbs rather than switch centres. The leadership team stays hands-on, staff turnover is notably low, and the place earns consistent praise for feeling like a genuine community, not just a service.

Orchard Montessori

4.3(12)✓ Google-verified

Long-term families report educators who know their children deeply, handle transitions with patience, and maintain uncommonly low staff turnover over years. The Montessori method and small-group setting let children learn at their own pace through hands-on activities like baking, gardening, and sensory play. A dated review raised concern about food quality versus fees, though no recent evidence supports this remains an issue.
