Sutherland Shire Council Family Day Care

If you’re looking to go down the path of family daycare then Fiona (or Fee Fee) is highly recommended. Both my girls have been with her from a young age and she’s helped ease my anxieties around returning to work. Seeing their smiles and hearing their stories at the end of each day is testament to the caring, fun and nurturing environment she provides. She puts so much effort into new and exciting activities, and ensuring that each child’s individual needs are well catered for. We will be sad when the time comes for my youngest to move on to her next chapter, and appreciate everything she’s done to support both us and our girls.

My son attends Fiona’s Family Daycare in Bangor and he really enjoys it. We get daily updates with photos. He is always well looked after and happy. He comes home with craft and paintings that he has created throughout the day. We love the personal interactions that Fiona’s Family Daycare provides.

Shafa's Family Day Care is incredible, fosters warmth and care through many new experiences. From the moment our first son started going we knew it would be the perfect place for both our boys. Shafa focuses on learning through play and gives our eldest boy lots of outdoor adventures and discovery. We were anxious about sending our second son so early but Shafa showed so much love and care it was like an extension of our family. Forever grateful for what you do each day.

My daughter loves going to Fiona's Family Daycare. We get regular photos and updates throughout the day and appreciate the homely environment of Family Daycare. My daughter always talks about her friends and Fiona and wants to go even on the weekends and when we are away. Fiona is really creative in the activities she plans and has worked hard to get us involved even when we have not been able to go into the home due to Covid. I love that the artworks come home every day for us to hang up and share with the grandparents. I know that my friends with kids of similar ages struggle to get this from their large centres. She always notices if my daughter is acting differently or seems out of sorts, expresses concern and asks for background to adjust her support each day.

Miss Sofia's Family Day Care exceeds all our expectations. I have full visibility over the days activities. Receive regular updates and photos of my smiling or laughing sons playing with their friends and exploring through a day of adventures. Sofia always puts the children first and is constantly coming up with new ideas for their fun. I really enjoy her passion and being a part of her FDC family. The boys thrive in her care. She is really conscious of the environment and recycling to create new sensory fun!

Jillian's family day care is fantastic. Its a wonderful environment she has created for the kids and they have such a great time at Jillian's. They learn so much and do so many interesting activities while they are there. We could not have been happier with our choice to have our kids spend time with her.

Would not recommend Fiona's Family Daycare at Bangor to anyone. She is not very personable or warm and we witnessed her calling children naughty and would scream out Jesus's if they were running. She is not receptive to any feedback towards your child's needs and must do things her way, and is unadaptive. Our child also went to hospital due to inadequate nappy changes, and she couldn't even say a simple sorry or ask if our child was OK.

I highly recommend Fiona's Family Daycare in Bangor. Fiona provides a truly joyful and secure environment for children. Our child loves Fiona (Fee Fee) like family and is always excited to attend daycare. Fiona provides meaningful and enriching learning experiences for the children, while also supporting them in open-ended play. I'm always amazed by the varied play areas and different activities that are so thoughtfully developed. We get wonderful photo updates during the day, and it's so comforting to see our child having happy experiences while we are working. Even more than that though, I'm so grateful that Fiona looks after our child in such a loving way and that she knows him so well. Family daycare has proven to be the small, nurturing and caring environment we were seeking for our child. We feel very happy with the beautiful care our child receives and would recommend Fiona to all.

My daughter went to Fiona’s Daycare for 2yrs and it was absolutely wonderful. The way Fee cares for the kids and the passion she has for her work is amazing! I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a kind, caring, loving environment for their little ones!

We are extremely happy with the care our Daughter receives at Shafa’s family Day care at Sylvania. Our Daughter has been attending for two years and she loves the time she spends there. The environment Shafa provides is fun, safe and clean with a great indoor and out door play areas. She also provides fun educational learning activities for the children. Shafa is warm and friendly and works well with us. We know our Daughter is well cared for on her days there.
