What reviewers think

Cuddles has built an unusually consistent reputation across its two-year operation. Parents report their children transform from hesitant to confident, with staff like Danielle, Sirjan, Colbie, and Anne-Laure forming genuine bonds and supporting milestones such as potty training. Daily app updates and photos give parents tangible reassurance.

Facilities span spacious indoor rooms and a large outdoor play area. The centre rotates arts, crafts, sports, and nature activities.

Milestones Early Learning Canning Vale

4.9(87)✓ Google-verified

Parent after parent describes walking away from a tour certain their child belonged at Milestones. Long-serving educators build genuine bonds with children, who arrive excited and leave confident. Educators prioritise transitions between rooms and to school, combining learning through play with structured routines that help children tackle new challenges. Named staff like Natasha (manager), Angie, Namita, Christie, Priyanka, Rakhi and Sunita appear consistently in praise. The centre offers wildlife incursions, cooking classes and language learning alongside infant-toddler and kindergarten rooms. However, one parent reported an educator striking their child in the past six months and a choking hazard incident with a sticker, citing unsatisfactory management response.
