Tina and the staff at Gumtree Cottage are Amazing!
The genuine affection and dedicated support shown to each individual in their care, vastly surpasses their competitors. Loyal, dedicated staff, wonderful attention to detail and the friendly environment makes leaving my daughter each day a joy- We only wish we found this centre earlier!
I can highly recommend the Gumtree Cottage community for both their daycare and Kindergarten program.
Mr Phil and the whole team are exceptional educators.

Let the success story of others attract you to your success. I have always had interest in binary trading so I can invest for myself and my family, but I was scared of lost until I got convinced by seeing a lot of people giving testimonies about Mrs Rachael Raschke an expert binary trader. and then i decided to finally give it a trial, so far so good, I have made $15,500 in just a couple of weeks I started trading. Don't waste more time contact her via Email: rachaelraschke397@gmail.com WhatsApp: +19418704911

At first I never actually build any interest on this Binary/Forex trading of a thing but when I later gave it a try with the Help of this wonderful Expert Trader Mrs Ami Brenda it was a successful trade for me. All i did was to invest $1000 into my first trading and to my greatest surprise, I received huge amount of $9,920 as profit in 6 days of trading. Mrs Ami Brenda was the trader that made it possible and she is still doing it all for me.. Contact her Email: brendaami071@gmail.com WhatsApp:+12135450862

We started at gumtree just over two months ago. Gumtree cottage is more than a daycare. It’s an extension of our family. The ladies and gentlemen that run and work in the centre are absolutely beautiful. We would not trust anyone else to look after our little Bub. From the minute we stepped in the door for the centre tour we knew this was the place for our little boy to grow and learn important life skills. We viewed many other centres but this one stuck with us. Very upfront, honest and loving people working at gumtree. Honestly feels like we’ve always known everyone and felt so welcome from

We moved my daughter to Gumtree from another centre a few months ago and it was the best thing we ever did. In her last centre, she was sick all the time, upset most of the days she was there and was very shy and it was so hard see her like that all the time. Fast forward to being at Gumtree and she is a totally different child!! She is thriving and beyond happy and has grown in confidence in the few short months she has been there. She gets so excited to get ready in the mornings and tells me she is going to school and very excited to play. When I mention Miss Kath (her teacher), her face lights

We swapped to this daycare after having a really bad experience at a different centre. We are so happy with the care we get for our child. Staff is great and Tina always finds a solution to any obstacles. We love that there are always lots of activities going on with the kids. Different themes days and activities.

Gumtree Cottage has been incredible for our children. Our eldest son attended care from the age of 2 years old before going to school. The early learning and care he received has prepared him so well for school as he continues in his development. Highly recommend if you are considering care for your child. The staff are extremely experienced to meet your children's needs which is why we continue to trust Gumtree Cottage when it comes to caring for our youngest son as well.

I have been with gumtree cottage for about 6 weeks now. Initially before starting at Gumtree I was terrified at the thought of sending my daughter to daycare, but after meeting the ladies at Gumtree I felt relaxed and at ease. They take such good care of my daughter and I am just so grateful for all they do for her. I wouldn’t want my daughter to go anywhere else.

When searching for a daycare centre we visited other facilities but none came close to the family feel of Gumtree. From our first visit we felt welcomed and the staff’s genuine care for the children was obvious. Three years on and our boys continue to love their daycare days and we are so thankful that we found Gumtree Cottage.

Our daughter began attending Gumtree Cottage when she was 4 months old. Her transition into the centre was fantastic and at 12 months old we are certain we made the right decision. The staff are caring and receptive, I wholeheartedly trust the level of care and respect my child receives. We have watched her grow and learn so much as a result of Gumtree, their learning through play approach has provided the foundation she needs to thrive into a social member of her community. Tina has made sure we felt comfortable each step of the way and her communication with us as a family has been exceptional

We have been apart of the Gumtree family since 2016 and we couldn’t be happier. My boys love going each day and I love that we can see what a great time they have via storypark and through chatting with the staff.
The Educators go above and beyond and I know my children are in the best of hands, plus the fact they provide home cooked meals is the cherry on the top!
Highly recommend!
