Two of our daughters attend Rainforest and we absolutely love the centre. It gives our daughters who are 10 months apart their own freedom to be who they are but still come together at meal times and know that they have each other close.

The space is open and big with lots of windows and natural light which was important to me. And lastly, the teachers Kate and Caitlin are very sweet and caring. It’s definitely...
