“Hi, I just wanted to say a quick thank you to all the staff at Aubrey ELC. 

I am very happy with the care my son receives. I have never had any concerns or issues. I am blown away by the kindness and professionalism of the staff, and how they take the time to chat even when they are busy. My son is always happy to leave my side and say goodbye. Sometimes he hardly even looks back at me.”

(Kelly Sims (mother of T aged 2 years 3 months and been attending Aubrey in the teina cottage for approx. 1 ½ years)
