My older children have been there for over 3 years when the center opened and the center has flourished in that timeMy girls love the staff and I love seeing all the stimulating activities they do through the day on the parent app

An incredible daycare that focusses on the wellbeing and development of each individual child. Daily activities are varied, well planned and educational; catering fully to the age group and every child. The educators are passionate, experienced, caring, nurturing and engaged and have a fantastic leadership team who run a great operation. I can't say enough good things about this centre. Highly recommend.

Mindchamps Frenchs Forest, provides a welcoming, nurturing, safe and holistic approach to Childcare.We have been a part of this gorgeous community for 2 years, with my youngest initially starting. I was so blown away by our experience, that I moved my eldest daughter from her preschool to become a Mindchamp.The preschool program, based on the early learning framework is spectacular. The constant Webinars provide to parents to support us in our role is extremely helpful and the communication between parent and educator is second to none.Thank you for providing a home away from home.

My daughter started with Mindchamps in February this year. She was 7 months old when she started and I was so worried about leaving her but she absolutely loves it. Now of a morning she is at the door ready to go to daycare before I am. She loves the pets that they have (a bird and a dog) that spend time with the children and they also have fun Friday activities. She also loves the educators. She loves giving them hugs and often wants to stay and play at the end of the day when I go to pick her up. It makes me happy and confident that she is having a great time and that she is being looked after so well.

We've been to a lot of ELCs, so to come to a preschool that surpasses our expectations, is very very impressive. We've seen nothing but the highest standard from our first visit onwards.Every member of staff has been exceptionally helpful and hospitable without exception, and the children have all been very welcoming, polite, and enthusiastic!We are very thankful to the parents who recommended us to Mindchamps Childcare French's Forest and looking forward to classes each week!

Having made the move to the area came the need to transition our little family to a new daycare. In reviewing local centres Heidi was the only person who actually had an interest in our boys, asking questions about them, their nature, likes etc. We can’t thank Heidi and the team enough for welcoming us and helping our boys transition into Mindchamps Frenchs Forest. We know we made the right decision as they both love every day they go! Highly recommend Mind Champs & the Team at Frenchs Forest.

Absolutely amazing centre. I toured quite a few daycare centres when looking for one for my child. As soon as I walked into Mindchamps, I knew it was the place for us. The environment is motivating, welcoming and clean. The staff members are lovely, helpful and caring. My child has grown in confidence and independence since attending Mindchamps. Highly recommend!

Mind Champs Frenches Forest is a lovely childcare. My boys all love attending there and they are learning lots of interesting things! The educators are all friendly & caring and make my children feel at ease, especially on mornings where drop offs are a bit more difficult. My boys love the meals that are provided- they are healthy & according to my fussy 5yo they are delicious!

Best daycare I've come across! I almost fell weird saying it's a daycare centre because it truely is a Life Learning Centre. My kids come home having learnt skills - skills needed for daily life.I'm a busy IT professional, and I drop my kids off knowing they are going to be taken care of by loving genuine people who are driven to teach the kids and prepare them for life.Most of the staff have been there for a really long time, and it's obvious why, because it's a great place to work.Highly recommended.

I am very impressed with the team and facilities at Mindchamps. The staff are warm, nurturing and professional; and ensure my child has active, engaging, fun-filled days. There is a lot of variety and the team utilise outside professionals - French teachers, Sports teachers, to really enhance the experience for the children. I feel my child is learning so much, whilst being given ample time to play. It really is a lovely centre.

Our twins love their time at Mind Champs Frenchs Forrest. We know they are safe, loved and cared for while with the Mind Champs team. They learn lots and have fun.

As soon a I walked through the door for my tour I new this was the right place for our son. We have been attending for 3 months and I can’t fault a Mindchamps. Every staff member is so caring and my son is excited to see everyone at drop off each morning! Every staff member no matter what room they look make me feel welcome every day!

We have been part of the Mindchamps family for over a year now and it's our kids home away from home. My almost 4 year old has been there since June last year and my 9 month old daughter started last month - nothing but great things to say about Heidi and the team! The educators are excellent, the older ones do additional activities at no extra charge (last year he did karate and French lessons!) and Heidi is super approachable and really encourages parental feedback and involvement 😀 Highly recommend a tour of the lovely campus.
Amy N.
The staff are fantastic. They are all so welcoming and warm. They show lots of love and care towards the children. They organise special activities such as puppet shows and magicians. They encourage sport, yoga and learning different languages but also lots of free play too. Very happy with this centre.

Both my boys have blossomed since being under the care of the MindChamps FF Family. My youngest son has been on a significant journey with an egg & milk allergy and the team have always been so understanding and accommodating. Nothing is ever a trouble and they have been such a support to my family. I authentically and whole heartedly recommend MindChamps. From my family to yours. Thank you team!
Jemma S.
Our daughter Ruby has been in the care of the wonderful educators and staff at MindChamps FF for just under a year and she loves it! We have been enrolled at several centres due to relocating and MC FF by far is the happiest she has been. Can't recommended highly enough

These educators are truly inspiring!!!So much passion and education for children

Having to move our son for a third time made us wonder if we’d find a place that would be right for him, as he (& we) could not settle. We looked at several alternatives but it was MindChamps that stood out - their 100% Respect, Zero Fear philosophy resonated with us immediately.Meeting & talking to the staff at the open day and seeing the new facility confirmed this. MindChamps’ approach is different to the (many) other centers we visited. They aim to instil a love of learning, teaching children HOW to learn (not just content) by “liberating & training the instinct for creativity & problem solving”. We love that! Also, knowing all staff are trained by MindChamps is important for us. No casual staff is reassuring.The Frenchs Forest staff are wonderful, caring for the children (obviously) but also the families - taking time to get to know us, as well as recognising & embracing our sons learning style.Regular updates in person at pick up (what & how much he’s eaten / slept / interacted etc each day) as well as providing informative and useful daily, weekly & monthly updates online. They are honest with us, not just saying “he had a great day”.The facilities are fantastic – new, fully equipped, diverse for each age group, and geared towards fun and learning. They provide good healthy meal rotation and the covered off street parking is a bonus.Needless to say our son LOVES MindChamps! No more tears on the way to daycare! He currently goes 3 days a week and is asking to go more! We cannot recommend MindChamps highly enough.Hughie comes home happy, singing new songs, talking about his day, and clearly LOVES Miss Caroline, Miss Maya, and Miss Charlie. He is noticeably thriving, learning and progressing.We only wish there was a MindChamps primary school as it would be a no brainer to send him there too.

Very nice teachers! Can't believe my kids learn so much from the preschool programme!The facilities is so good and brand new.
Chantelle Z.
Our two kids are really loving it here! We moved here from another child care centre and it what an improvement it was. The facility is really excellent and the staff take the time to understand your child's needs rather than just being another one in the herd. I have to bribe my kids to leave when it's home time as they're usually too busy having fun.

After lots of searching and many tours, I was beginning to give up on the daycare idea, but then came across MindChamps in Frenchs Forest.From my first call I knew that this was different, they wanted to know what my daughter was like, what she enjoyed, what she didn't, what kind of socialisation she's had, what her skills were... From the start I feel like we have been given a tailored treatment to suit us and the wonderful Crew always go out of their way to make sure things run smoothly.I was so nervous starting Rose at daycare but she's always felt so looked after here, and now she can't wait to go to "school" in the mornings. I couldn't recommend this place more. Thank you for everything that you do!
Stephanie S.
We were new to the area when my daughters started at MindChamps Frenchs Forest and despite all the changes they were going through, they found peace, safety and fun within MindChamps!! Absolutely LOVE everything about the place including the highly invested and caring staff, the amazing facilities, the very cool activities the kids are introduced to, and the very sound philosophy that MindChamps upholds. My daughters both look forward to going there and I too feel so happy with it all!! Thank you MindChamps Frenchs Forest!! 🙂
