Hi, Just wondering if anyone has had any recent experiences with Cooinda Cottage in Charnwood or the Flynn Early Childhood Education Centre? I currently have my boys in care, but it is 30 mins away and we are hoping to find something closer to home. Thanks!

Hi Rumply, I have no comment on the centres, but if you're interested in Family Day Care, I have just started and I am in Macgregor. Let me know if you would like more info

Thanks for the offer Melstar25 (I am in Mac too!), my 2.5 yo has some fiery in his belly, so not sure how he would go in FDC. Considering going part time and I am not even sure I am going to go so well with him!! Yeah, Alkira joined with another centre and they moved to Flynn. I wasn't overjoyed with the other centre (I can't remember their name), but think I will book in to see the new Flynn one. Cooinda is down at the Charnwood shops. Ultimately I would love to get into Baringa, but don't like my chances... my chance with any new centre is going to be pretty slim.

Hi Melstar, I'd love to get some info, thinking about a bit of time out from my lovely toddler while I have a newborn. I'm in Holt.

Flynn is quite expensive and the wait list is very long. It's also a very big centre compared to most.
