Milestones Smithfield have been fantastic.After recently moving to Cairns, Jess and Kara have assisted me on many occasions from providing a placement for my toddler to last minute daycare so I can have my newborn! I feel reassurance for my little ones and a sense a community. Unlike other daycares, they have been spot on with updating photos, educational tools and monitoring emotional and physical needs of the child.

Milestones is a fantastic centre that both of my sons have attended. Jess the centre manager and Kara-Lee the assistant manager are excellent leaders, ensuring child safety is paramount. I would especially like to mention Miss Mayu, Miss Hannah, Miss Jo and Miss Brandi, your compassion and care for our children is beautiful and the kids have a wonderful time with you all.

Our family has been incredibly lucky to be part of this childcare centre’s community. Both of my daughters have attended, and as my eldest is now preparing to move on to school, I’ve found myself reflecting on just how grateful we are for the care, love, and support we’ve experienced here. From the very first day, the educators made our girls feel safe, welcomed, and understood. They took the time to learn their personalities, their interests, and their little quirks, and they supported them through every milestone—big and small. The team doesn’t just “watch” children; they nurture them, guide them, and celebrate them. Watching my eldest grow into a confident, curious, and kind little person has been a testament to the environment she’s been surrounded by. She has made wonderful friendships, learned so much, and genuinely loved coming in each day. Knowing she is ready for school is a bittersweet feeling, but it’s also the greatest sign of how well she has been prepared. Our youngest continues to thrive there as well, and it brings such comfort knowing she is in a place where she is not only cared for but truly valued. To all the educators and staff: thank you for your patience, your kindness, your professionalism, and your genuine passion for what you do. Our family will forever remember the role you’ve played in our daughters’ lives. We couldn’t have asked for a better start for them. We wholeheartedly recommend this centre to any family looking for a nurturing, engaging, and supportive place for their children to grow.

Absolutely wonderful daycare! My daughter is almost two years old and has been attending for the past three months. I honestly did not imagine she would enjoy going so much — now she looks forward to it and waits eagerly every day! The entire staff is incredibly welcoming, patient, and caring. The toddler class teachers are especially kind and patient, and they create such a warm and comforting space for the little ones. They’re always cooperative and helpful, making both parents and children feel at ease. A special thank you to Miss Helen, who is truly amazing and always goes the extra mile to offer the best for the kids. I’m so grateful for the love and care my daughter receives. Highly recommended to any parent looking for a supportive and nurturing daycare!

We are incredibly happy with our choice to move our child to Milestones. Our child has been there for three years and we have found the educators to be caring, informed and always creating valuable learning experiences for the children in their care. The centre is very well-run and welcoming, and they are transparent in any decisions being made as well as asking for suggestions and feedback. We highly recommend this centre!
