“It is a pleasure to leave our little boy in the care of the educators at Little People’s Place. Ned is known by each educator and while he has built very close bonds with educators he spends most of his days with, he is still very happy in the care of all the staff. I believe the environment is secure, stimulating and nurturing for Ned. “

- Pene - East Fremantle

“Little people’s place is a wonderful daycare for our two kids. They learn so much during their time here and the staff are all so warm and welcoming and know both my kids straight away.

LPP is a lovely warm and friendly environment where the staff are genuinely interested in our son’s development and always make an effort to encourage and assist his learning and happiness. He loves the staff, loves the food and loves all the interesting activities they get up to.

- Whitelaw Family - East Fremantle

“This place is amazing in every way. The leadership, the teachers, the values, the playground, the curriculum, the responsiveness to any of my questions or requests. It is a fun, loving, caring place that definitely prepares your child for Kindergarten. Have put my kids in many child care centres but have not seen the love and care like that they receive from Little peoples Place in Spearwood. I travel 15min just to leave my kids in the care of these amazing people. Thank you our family loves it here.”

- Spencer Family – Spearwood
