Staff is friendly, attentive, and creative…read more We feel well informed about their days and are happy with food, activities, and the environment provided. The only thing that keeps us from that final star is outdoor time as the facility is indoor only. However, as far as I hear little field trips are being planned so hopefully some fresh air adventures will be happening soon. Also, I personally find it incredibly cold in there and would appreciate a few extra degrees off the AC - the kids don't seem to mind though : ) PS: Ask for a discount if you work in the building!

I'm so excited! This is the Special Needs Toys shop I've been looking at online! It has heaps of…read moregreat therapy toys and activities to do with children who have special needs and who are highly gifted! They also have a massive range of educational toys for everyone- from language development to mathematics, lacing and fine motor games to gross motor aids such as scooter boards and hoppers! I personally love the calming lights and stress balls! This shop has such a range, check it out! It's worth it!

Saying that this doesn't happen often. The painting happens outside under the trees and beside the play equipment. They have a whole heap of other creative activities for the kids from collage puzzles and play dough, a water and sand play area, singing and musicreading time, dramatic play and fine motor skills activities. Kids between 0 and 5 are invited to join in. My daughter was nine months old when we started and though she can't do a lot of the activities she seems to enjoy being around the older kids and clapping at sing time. There is a room with toys and cushions for the little ones to roll around in. If you have one or more children over 18 months it costs $10.00 and if your little one is under 18 months the cost is $5. Each extra child is $2.50. It's only open during the school term between Monday and Thursday from 10am -12.30pm. When you get there ask someone where the sign in sheet and tin to pay is - it works on a trust system so you need to remember to put your contribution in before you leave.

What I love about going here is that it's so busy you can get away with not to talking to anyone…read moreelse! I can read a book (guilt free), keep an eye on my son (who three so pretty self-sufficient) and know that he's having a ball. A few of my friends think that it's a bit cliquey, whilst I don't find it so, I can see that it'd be a different experience if I went there with a younger child looking for friendship. There are some pretty established groupings going on, which appear to be a bit hard to penetrate. The fact that it's spread out over so many activities makes it tricky for adults to get a good conversation flowing...but that's always an issue with kids...however little people love it. The families that attend are on the whole pretty good but can sometimes be a bit lax in policing the bigger kids who career down the slope in run-along-cars - that from the mother of a bigger kid too! If you park in the council carpark next door, Corinne can validate your parking to get a discount (do it when you pay in the first door to the left as you enter). Watch out for the team from James Place Cafe who come around at 11am to take coffee orders.

I took a 3 hour screenprinting class here and it was great! They offer a wide variety of other…read moreclasses and activities, like how to make your kombucha, painting, welding, etc. Some classes are artsy craftsy, others are more intellectual or even physical, others have to do with food and drink. The location is great and the space is great for a wide variety of activities. There's no air-con, so if it's not, prepared to be hot. But, they had the fan going and cold water for us to drink, so that was appreciated.

My company sent me to do a Voice Coaching and Public Speaking Course here. I absolutely loved it…read more OMG the best course I have ever done ! I feel so much more confident and I had such a good teacher. I really found the exercises to be helpful and they don't take up much time either. It's great to feel better and know what to do. I raved so much to my HR manager that they've sent a whole lot more people. And from what I've heard,they all seem to like the courses too. Which is a good recommendation isn't it.

What a fantastic birthday present, I absolutely loved doing this course with my younger sister!…read moreIt's not that I want to be a barista, but I am addicted to Coffee, and it would be a crime to love something so much, and not have an educated appreciation of it. The course took us through the history of the coffee bean, and how to identify different types of beans, either Arabica, or Robusta. Two people per coffee machine, we were taught lecture style, about the technique, and then asked to do it ourselves with guidance. Starting with technique to froth and pour milk, then coffee. So there are several things required to be correct for a good coffee: - Water at 92 degrees - 7 grams of ground coffee - 30ml of pressurised water - 18kg of force when compacting coffee - between 20-30 seconds to push the pressurised water through the ground coffee It was a great time, and they also offer coffee froth art classes, to do on the same day.

I decided to enrol in a coffee making course here last year; not because I wanted to become a…read morebarista: but just for fun to sharpen up my coffee making skills from when I was ding a bit of barista work 12 years earlier. It was amazing how quickly making those cappuccinos and lattes came back to me. It was heaps of fun, although it was a bit cramped having to share a coffee machine with another person; although it was around the MasterChef time, and the foodies wanted to do more and more with their creativity; especially when cooking courses were also in vogue. It was great to be served a delicious hot chocolate by Babette before I started my 3 hour all you can make coffee journey on a Saturday afternoon, and I actually now know how to make chai lattes too. It was easy to make the coffees, drink them and then bin them. I felt sorry for the cows that afternoon considering that I used a garbage bin full of milk while singing to the music and bopping around while I was making the coffees. At the end of the course I was exhausted. They then taught us how to clean the coffee machines, and I was just way too tired to listen.
