What our Families say...

• Fantastic centre - the teachers are highly engaged in their work and there’s a genuine interest in each individual child's development. My daughter loves it there!

  The Hargraves Family

• To the entire team at Cocoon, We want to acknowledge the incredible work you do for all the children in your care. The love, patience, and dedication you show every day make such a profound difference in the lives of these little ones and their families. It's clear that each of you puts your heart into creating a safe, joyful, and nurturing environment where every child can thrive. The positive impact you have is truly invaluable, and we are all so grateful for the care and commitment you bring to your roles. Thank you for everything you do to support, educate, and inspire our children. Your hard work and kindness are deeply appreciated by all of us.

• A wonderful and very professional team who we absolutely trust with our littlest love.

  The Middleton Family

• I just wanted to comment how lovely the staff are, in particular miss Erin. She gives so much love and support to the children, I hope cocoon know how lucky they are to have her.

  the Roll Family

• We are so thankful for each and every one of you every day and in every season, but particularly this season.  We are always in awe of how you go about your job with excellence and really have a heart to nuture each and every child.  Your commitment to innovative programming, supporting interests, nourishing personalities and bodies and reporting progress is noticed and appreciated!  I take it as a beautiful complement to you all that K gets upset about having days with her grandparents, when she would rather be at Cocoon!! To do all that you do in a “normal” world is hard, but you are doing this in a world that is far from normal at the moment, and thanking you on educators day and not acknowledging how challenging and difficult this would be for you would be an incredible oversight.  So, from the bottom of our heart, we thank you for the way in which you so professionally provide a consistent, stable and safe place for the children to land, despite what is happening in the world around you.  We thank you for providing refuge and fun for them in a world that feels heavy.  We thank you for turning up with the fun in a world that feels anything but.  We thank you for being you.  What you did before was incredible, but you have well are truly earned your superhero stripes and capes.  We want you to know that everything that you do, every sacrifice you make and every way you go about representing your profession is honorable and noticed.  We love you all and really thank you incredibly for who you are and what you do.  Your impact is deep and far reaching, and we hope you realise what a blessing you are to us.

• I want to express my deepest appreciation for the incredible care and love you provide to C each day. Kate we are SO pleased you’re back ? The connections she has with each of you are truly special and a testament to the joy and dedication you bring to your work. Sharing our Australian adventure with the class was such a memorable experience, and it means so much to us that you embraced it with such enthusiasm. We’ll treasure that moment forever. We can’t thank you enough for creating an environment where C not only thrives but genuinely enjoys growing, creating the space to help her transition from holidays with a broken league to helping her do exercises as she finds her groove again. Your impact on her life is immeasurable, and we are so grateful to have you all as part of her journey.    With heartfelt thanks,

• As parents, we love that cocoon feels like a family. T loves coming home to report the latest thing she has learned (I was astounded when she started telling me about the different instruments in music!). She is supported to be herself, while still being pushed just the right amount.   I’m also always excited for her to tell me about the gourmet lunches she has had. Being in such a happy environment means that she also eats better at daycare than at home.   We want to thank each and every member of the team, from all the rooms, for all the love and support you show us and will be so sad when she starts school (will they give us well thought out and well written daily updates and photos?!). Anyway, thank you all for all you do! You deserve to be celebrated every day!   Kind Regards,

  Emily

• I just wanted to send an email through to congratulate you on the team you have built at Cocoon. I was reflecting last night and I just felt compelled to say that I am constantly taken aback by how kind, caring and wonderful each and every staff member is. I was quite apprehensive with H moving from Cubs to Ocean, as I have loved the beautiful Cubs educators so much but I have been so impressed with the Ocean team and how they have bonded with him and made this transition so seamless.   I’ve now had experiences with all three rooms over the past two years and have so many positive things to say about the staff in each one. I have had E crying to me several times this past week because she doesn’t want to leave Cocoon and Miss Jess when she moves to big school! Jess is such a one-in-a-million and it warms my heart to see the genuine love E has for her.   I had two previous experiences of childcare before we moved to Cocoon and, while they were lovely centres, I found the whole experience very stressful and at times, distressing. Both E and H have been so settled at Cocoon and it has had such a huge impact on me. Knowing that I can focus on my work day and know that my kids are in safe hands and, more than that, genuinely cared for and nurtured, has been such a game-changer. I hope you know the impact that your team has on us as parents – thank you for everything.

  Warm regards, Sarah

• This email is honestly the best!! I want to thank you so much for allowing K to feel that her ideas matter, and showing this in an authentic way.  This is something that we have been working on through some affirmations at home.  You would have had every right to have nodded and smiled and the request, and moved on with your day.  You are incredibly busy, and it would have been completely understandable.  But you have showed her that her ideas matter and that she is valued, and the gift you have given to her will last for a long time.  We are so incredibly thankful for you, and your team and you genuinely love and care for K  Sometimes, I think she has more confidence and more identity than I ever have, and I know Cocoon has had significant input in that.  Cocoon really is such an apt name, because in our experience, it has been such a haven and space of nurturing while she develops in such blueprint years.  So thank you for everything you do – and don’t underestimate the gravity of this experience for our family (also, how did you keep a straight face! Haha).   Thank you again,   You are all things wonderful!
