Testimonials

Check out what parents are saying about Red Apple.

  • Best childcare we've ever been! All my 3 kids love the facilities, attentive nature of all the carers and teachers and their programs. Everyone is very easy going, they are up to date with all the technologies, they will always send you updates of your child throughout the day via the app. Very happy kids, highly recommended!

    Tiana Tay

  • We have been at Red Apple Vermont for over 5 years now and have been very happy there. The educators are warm and friendly and my kids have thoroughly enjoyed their learning experience. Couldn’t recommend it highly enough, they’re like family.

    Ashlea Lewis

  • Lovely staff, Home like environment. They have a fantastic chef in Vermont branch who always cook delicious meals/snacks for the kids. My elder one still misses their pumpkin soup after left the Centre for 4 years. Definitely recommend!

    Sarah Gong

    Sharmila Moreland

  • Our 3 children have attended Red Apple over the past 9 years and we love it. The educators are wonderful. The staff are super nurturing and provide wonderful educational activities appropriate to the age and interests of the children. The Centre has an in house chef who prepares a wonderful variety of healthy meals and snacks. The children have the opportunity to go on some great excursions including visiting the local shops, fire station and cafes and the Kinder children regularly go to bush kinder at the local parks.

    Hannah Ross

  • We have been at Red Apple for a couple of years now and could not be happier! They have also been very accommodating and supportive during the recent COVID disruptions! Highly recommend this centre!

    Cara Hailes-Yeung

  • Two kids attending for the past two years, and so impressed with the thoughtfulness and care of all the educators, they really go above and beyond to make kids feel safe getting adapted, and to nudge them out of comfort zones. Plenty of outdoor space and engaging activities, and the on-site kitchen produces amazing meals and snacks, have even been using their recipes at home!

    Mary Bolling

  • Happy friendly staff and kids.
    Highly recommend!
