We couldn’t be happier with Milestones. Their excellent communication, organisation, and friendly staff make it a fantastic environment for our 16 month old son. We love the daily updates and the variety of activities they provide, which keep him engaged and thriving. We’ve also noticed how much more settled and confident he has become since starting here. We honestly cannot fault them! After a disappointing experience with his first daycare, we feel so lucky to have found this one. Highly recommend!

Milestones Early Learning Smithfield: Observations My grandson is soon to commence school, a graduate of 5 years at Milestones Early Learning Smithfield. He graduates with an enquiring mind, a respect for others and their cultures, good listening skills, confidence and a focus on asking questions, foundation mechanical, STEM, consultation and social skills that have been coached and modelled by teachers every day. Progress can been seen through photographs provided each day by Milestones. I have a series showing my grandson seeking permission to show his favourite toy to the class: a Chinook helicopter. He stood and explained it to the whole class, he then walked around the room talking to students individually and encouraging each person to feel the plane and ask their questions. This high level but critical communication skill and confidence level is rare amongst adults. Class discussions have been wide ranging and stimulating embracing topics such as insects, climate, food, icebergs and the Titanic, different cultures. I know that discussions are stimulating because of related activities initiated by my grandson at home. I have seen that classes are planned against structured and documented learning and development objectives. Fun, play and seriousness are combined each day with great effect. My observations of Milestones Early Learning Smithfield reminds me of the words of Public Intellectual Robert Manne. “Learning Institutions are a force for cultivating a very fine society”.

Our number one daycare, by far. So glad we got our toddlers in, all the educators are great, the daily updates are amazing, our kids absolutely love it there, and are thriving. I highly recommend.

We’ve had such an amazing experience at Milestones over the past three years. Both of our boys, have grown so much from nursery/junior kindy to senior kindy, and it’s been wonderful to watch them thrive in such a caring environment. Miss Kelly has been an incredible teacher for both boys—her warmth, and passion have made a huge impact on them. We are so grateful for the experiences they’ve had with her. Miss Helen and Miss Kara have always been so welcoming and helpful, making us feel at home every day. We will miss the centre and all the lovely educators so much. Thank you for making our time here so special. Highly recommend this daycare to any family looking for a nurturing, supportive environment for their kids! ❤️

Helen, Rena and the staff in the nursery room here are great. We visited a lot of centres before deciding to entrust milestones with our son and we definitely made the right decision. They are really engaged with the children and genuinely care. They are also very flexible and considerate. We Couldn’t be happier
