Platypus Junction Mulgrave

Couldn’t ask for a better center and educators. I am a master student in teaching in early years, and let’s just say, playtypus Mulgrave is by far the best center I have experienced ( and yes I mean the three centers I have done my placements, and also bunch of centers I have visited before enroll my little one). Managing team staff are always very helpful and friendly. Educators in my daughters room are very professional, from the room leader to the casual educators! Every time I walk into the room, they are always ON THE FLOOR with the children ( sometimes standing changing nap pies and cleaning the room , you get the gist). The report that they do every day is not to meet the requirement, but you can actually tell they are trying to facilitate learning in the room. All in all, by far the best, and I would recommend all my friends here if they ever ask for advice. You can’t go wrong with this center!

I have had 2 children at Platypus Junction Mulgrave over the past 3.5 years and couldn't of asked for a better ELC. I feel they gave my son all the tools and education needed to start Prep this year. My daughter is still their and they have been a great help and support from Nursery to Pre-Kinder - the activities are excellent from Animal Farm visits, Yoga, Gardening, cultural days and cooking. I would recommend this center to anyone in the area looking for excellent education, clean facilities and fun and loving teachers.

Agreed with the previous review that the senior management changed a lot since 2022. The educators are still passionate and caring, however the communication from the management is poor and less responsive. More often you need to speak to the head office in order for them to communicate with you. It is such a shame as it was a well managed organisation before 2022. Leadership structure needs to be reviewed.

My son has been at PJ for almost a year now just after they first opened and the level of care at the centre has always been incredible. My son loves the educators as they do love him and they treat the children as if they were their own. They are always friendly, happy and attentive. My son looks forward to attending and at times he doesn’t want to leave. The place is clean, spacious and well set up with good quality activities and toys. The rooftop garden is amazing with a vegetable garden and great views too! While I’m at work I don’t have to worry as I know my son is being well looked after and thriving in this environment. I don’t plan to move as I want him to stay there until he starts primary. Thank you PJ for helping me raise a happy child!

My daughter has been attending Playpus Junction since the start of the year and the amount she has developed is just incredible. Everyday she comes home having learnt something new & exciting, she is always engaged and is extremely happy here.She is starting primary school next year and is beyond ready to go. I don’t think she would have been anywhere near as ready had she stayed at her previous child care center.The educators are fantastic and I know that when my daughter is here she is always perfectly cared for, has an amazing time and gets a great education.We could not recommend Platypus Junction enough!

I could not speak more highly of Platypus Junction Mulgrave. As an early childhood teacher I was very particular about where I wanted to send my baby. I looked at so many childcare centres and Platypus Junction was the first centre I looked at where I felt completely comfortable. The centre is clean, beautifully set up and well maintained. The staff are friendly, responsive and have such beautiful relationships with the children, from the room all the way up to management. Platypus junction has fantastic communication and I always feel in the loop and confident that I know what is going on around the centre and that my child is safe and well looked after. I absolutely recommend this centre.

Our girls have been attending platypus junction since they were babies and can not be more happier. The ladies are amazing, especially at the initial stages of transitioning from mummy care to daycare. It's great to see our kids now don't cry at drop offs and want to stay at pick up. The ladies really care about our kids and give them that TLC when they need it. The play area is beautiful with lots of activities and toys for a growing mind. It's clean, staff very friendly and work with you in developing a plan (both social and development) to ensure they are meeting thier goals. If you are looking for quality daycare- this centre is it.

My son attended another Centre prior to attending this Centre and this is by far ran at a much higher standard than the main chain Childcare Centres. I am very happy with Platypus Junction but most of all, my son is happy which says a lot about the Centre. The facilities are great and they have full transparency of the activities the children do on a daily basis. One happy family here :)

I absolutely love Platypus Junction Mulgrave! Lara, Dani and the educators are super friendly and have the most amazing communication. I would highly recommend Platypus Junction to any parents looking for a top quality daycare.

Our children have been attending the Mulgrave centre since the year it first opened. We have been highly impressed with the first class services they have provided ever since. The level of love, care and support ALL of the carers have displayed is second to none. Our girls are treated as if they are a part of a family, which is an important factor when your children are cared for 5 days a week. Education and experiences are above and beyond a normal centre, with PJ Mulgrave providing in abundance to develop our children with a bright and exciting future ahead.
