Testimonials
This was our first visit to the center, and we were blown away! The jumping castle and robotics class were a huge hit with my little one. The staff were so kind, and the event was great!
Kathy DParentAttended the open day hosted by Duffy's Corner and was blown away by the centre, it's clean and has great facilities. The staff are so warm and made sure the kids had an amazing time. This team has a great attention to detail, it was evident on the day! My kids didn't want to leave! Looking forward to my son attending in 2025!
Nada EParentAll 3 of my children have attended Duffys over the past 6 years with my daughter still currently there. All the educators are warm, welcoming and nurturing. My daughter absolutely adores all the educators, they are family to her. My daughter goes to daycare with a smile on her face everyday and loves it so much so she begs to see the educators driving past on the days she’s not there. I couldn’t recommend Duffys more.
Brooke RParentMy sons attended the community events at Duffys Corner Daycare Centre, and they absolutely loved it! The staff were so lovely and really took their time with the kids. The daycare is very clean and well-organized.
Yana KParentI have a 2 year old boy and a 4 year old girl who attend and have done so for the last few years. The crew at Duffy's are absolutely amazing, kind, caring & they do an amazing job with the kids. My 4 year old girl has special needs and the way they look after her and include her and have never once complained (as she can be a handful at times) -- those few hours I get off each day means I can get some work done and life chores. The kids have a great play area, they are always doing activities & how anyone could write a bad review about Duffy's is beyond me...... Can't thank them enough and if looking around the Maroubra area - you would be crazy not to go and see them !!!
Nick KParentThe educators at Duffy's are incredible with both my children and have helped them grow and develop over the last 2 years. There is plenty of outdoor space for them to play and I love the daily reviews that keep me updated on my children's day.
Celia BParentMy two kids go to Duffys everyday and I could not be happier. The staff is wonderful, every morning my kids run to give the staff a hug! My eldest is now 3 and learned how to read letters and numbers, I am so impressed!!!
