She has been in early childhood management for over seven years and has three children of her own. Along with the familiar faces of long-time staff, Debbie’s vision is to continue the high quality care and reputation that The Enchanted Garden has maintained since 1995. The centre offers children a home away from home, with a philosophy based on holistic, individualised care. They engage higher teacher-to-child ratios to allow better care and attention. The centre is staffed with a team of professional educators and nurturers who are highly trained and passionate about creating happy experiences. The setting is warm and home-like in nature while the playground and indoor environment have been designed to allow children to safely explore and learn with confidence. This is supported by a strong curriculum designed for active and exciting play. With 10 spaces in their nursery, and 23 spaces in their preschool, the centre provides the complete early childhood service. The fluidity of care allows children to form close bonds while families enjoy peace of mind.
