My son goes to daycare in Cloverdale, not sure if that's too far away?

Mine went to Como Children, in como, the best daycare centre anywhere!! however they have a long waiting list so depends if you need straight away or are prepared to wait

Our DD has spent the last 4 years at Curtin University Early Childhood Centre and they have been absolutely brilliant. I seriously can't speak highly enough of them, but again, they have a large waitlist.

Another vote for both Como and Curtin being the best in the area.

Will be easier and cheaper to find a place near Forrestfield than near Vic Park though.

QUOTE Mine went to Como Children We've been on the waiting list for 18 months and they've advised that they are full for 2013. They only take a very small number of children, so probably unlikely you will get in. Curtin was the same for us. There aren't that many daycares around Vic park. I looked at the one on mint street that used to be an abc (not sure if it still called that) and got a really bad vibe there. DS is at lady Gowrie in karawara and they have one in kewdale which might be in this right direction? The carers are brilliant, admin are not. Sorry, that's probably not a lot of help!
