I have used this website to look for my daughters daycare. It was really helpful to find out just how many daycare centres there were in the Sutherland Shire. I have been extremely happy with ABC Grays Point. The staff and centre are extremely professional, happy and helpful. Lysette

I've used your directory to find pre-school and daycare places for both my sons, aged 3 and 11 months.  I love that fact that all the centres can be found on one website and the information is very specific.   Elizabeth

I came across the web site last night and was able to find out about the evening care at the Koala Centre and called to make a time to visit today.I am only new to the area and as a sole parent of two children working part-time and trying to find care so I can return full-time, found your web site really informative. Thank you and well done. Michelle from Sylvania

I just wanted to say thank you for your wonderful website.  I have a 5 month old (my first) and I had no idea what type of childcare was available in my area.  Through your website I have been able to locate and visit a number of centres, and now have my son's name down at two near my house for next year. Thank you again, Karen from Engadine

Hi - I have recently enrolled my daughter into Jannali Kinder Care to start in December - thanks to your wonderful initiative.  I read about your website via a pamphlet I received in the mail. The next day I got onto your website and was amazed to find so many centres around the area.  It was great that some centres had a lot of information posted on the site as it helps you decide which centres to go and look at.  I had a look at a few centres but really loved Jannali Kinder Care which is really close to our house. I found out they were opening a new centre later this year and I was able to enrol Maddison for the new centre. I am a working mum - and don't have a lot of time to do research.  I look forward to reading your newsletters each month! congratulations and I wish The Sutherland Childcare Directory so much success. Warm regards - Lisa Harris

Thank you so much for your prompt and very informative reply. I have been extremely happy with the service that you are providing. It certainly takes the burden out of looking for daycare, especially when I need it such short notice.  You have been excellent I am very appreciative of you for hooking me up with Renata, I will be catching up with her hopefully tomorrow for a bit of an interview.   All going well I will have care by Mon-Tues. Again thanks so much. Yours thankfully, Rebecca Nelson

FAMILY DAY CARE - MY INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS !   After only being on The Sutherland Shire Childcare Directory website for about two months, not only have I created my own personal waitlist, but I have just filled my final vacancy from a family that found me through the website in ENGLAND !    Moving to Miranda this June, the family wanted to be prepared, so they searched the net for suitable childcare in the area. Coming from a small country town, they loved the idea of Family Day Care and said they had decided, just from my info and photos on the site, that they were 99.9% sure they wanted their children in my care, as it had such a great family feel to it. They were looking for full time care for their son and before and after school care for their daughter. I informed them that I could only have their daughter here before school, and only if she went to the school my daughterr attends, and suggested they look into it as it is a great school and smaller than their previous school of choice. They did, and felt it would be a more suitable school for her, given what she was used to. It felt great to have someone feel so confident in me, my opinion and my service prior to even meeting me in person).    As they were still a month away from the big move, I asked if they could pay the non-refundable bond via PAYPAL and I scanned all contracts and enrolment forms and had them fill in and sign them all and email back to me. This secured their spot for the month and made us both feel at ease during the wait.  I met the whole family and they started the following Monday. I have their son one day a week, yet they hope to have him here full time by next year. His mother informed me that they are sending him to a pre-school for now, but will definitely be transferring him as soon as positions become available with me on other days. Finally...the roles are reversed !  I thoroughly recommend, Kristy

The Sutherland Child Care Directory has been an instrumental tool in building my Family Day Care busniess, I have been able to reach a whole new lot of families looking for care in the websites comprehensive and easy to view webpage.  I highly recommend the Sutherland Shire Child Care directory to build your business.   Merediths Family Day Care

We really like being a part of Shire Child Care because our parents can learn all about our preschool and even sign up onto our waiting list without the need to leave home. This is often really helpful for people with small children, who find it difficult to visit.  Tracey, Cronulla Preschool

We have had numerous families contact us through viewing our information on the Shire Directory. The information was professionally displayed, easily accessed and able to be updated as required.  Thank you Janene Rox, KU Sutherland Preschool

Your website has had such a positive influence on both parents looking for quality care for their precious ones, as well as a positive exposure of  the childcare facilities available. 'Family Day Care' has benefited greatly from this exposure as many parents aren't aware of our specialised, personalised and quality Childcare Service. Thanks to you I have a gorgeous 4month old baby  starting with me next week. A new baby in care HOORAY! Its been a pleasure doing business with you. Many happy parents, children and carers alike say thanks for such a great website. Regards Renata, Family Day Care, Sylvania

Thank you so much for all you have done for me.  I so appreciate all your help - the fact that you came out and took photos, helped me put together my information and then made it into such a great webpage.  I have recieved so much response from my listing - especially since you did that letterbox drop.  My phone has been ringing of the hook!!! Again thank you so much for all your help promoting family day care and constant support. Kind regards Sue - Family Day Carer

Since we first advertised with shirechildcare.com.au in March 2006, we have noticed a significant increase in the enquiries for our centre. It has saved me time as most enquiries come via e-mail allowing me to respond when it best suits me. The other advantage of e-mail enquiries is I can send the waitlist form electronically saving me time and money!  Laureen Keogh, Owner Jannali Kinder Care Long Daycare Centre.
