Testimonials from Parents
I honestly don’t have enough words to describe Happyland. I am a mum who has a child with special needs, I am a mum who suffers severe anxiety leaving my child with anyone other than me.
From the moment I spoke to Karen I felt nothing but love and warmth, Karen assured me my daughter would be safe and loved and boy did she deliver! Happyland is the most incredible daycare centre I have ever experienced (previous daycare worker) every staff member goes above and beyond everyday!
Karen, Sarah and Taylor give everything they have every single day! My daughter would not be the bright, happy, bubbly child she is today without them.
I go to work everyday and know there is no better place my daughter could be.
I honestly could not recommend this place more!!!

My daughter loves Happyland!! We started my daughter at Happyland when she was 5 months and a year on and she loves everything about kindy!! Miss Mandy and Miss Anna show her so much love and kindness which is everything I could ask for. Karen and her daughters are just amazing, always friendly and helpful, extremely accommodating when I need to book my daughter in last minute. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!!! Thank you 🙏

Prior to moving from Melbourne, we had liaised with Karen (the manager) about enrolling our son into Happyland. Right from our first phone call Karen was so warm and welcoming. She was lovely to deal with and helped us through the entire enrollment process, as well as welcoming my parents with open arms to do a tour on behalf of us to ensure the the centre was a right fit for us. They left with such a lovely feeling, knowing that our son would be happy. The entire enrollment, and starting a new childcare process has been seemless. The staff are so friendly and genuinely care about the kids - it warms my heart to see the way my son has been welcomed into the centre. The kids are well cared for, and the communication is outstanding! I love reading about the creative activities they do and seeing so many photos of my son through the day. I can't explain how delighted we are with Happyland - it exceeded my imagination of how a centre could be and how happy my son was at childcare. I would recommend Happyland in a heartbeat!
I’m so grateful for finding Happyland kids, a home away from home for my son. He has been there over 10months now and I have not had any problems the staff are kind and caring, the centre is clean, tidy & family focused and the perfect learning environment for my little one. My eldest also attends vacation care, the staff are always making activities affordable but fun & are highly trained, attending to the needs of my ASD child. I highly recommend them & will support them 100% all the way. Thanks so much guys, an amazing daycare & a godsend to this mummas sanity

I started sending my son to Happyland when he was about 5 months old. At the time, I was going through some pretty intense postnatal depression and was desperate for somewhere that would care about not just my son, but me as well. I found that and more with Happyland. Karen saw how much we were struggling and went above and beyond to help. Every single educator is engaged and passionate about kids. every single request I’ve had has been actioned immediately. My son is now almost 1, and we are moving away from the Gold Coast. I am absolutely heartbroken to be leaving Happyland. This centre is what all centres should strive to be - an extension of your own family.

At the beginning of this year we changed from another centre in Arundel and I am so glad we made the move. My 18mth old daughter is thriving at Happyland and I am thrilled with the outstanding level of care that she receives 😊Karen and her entire team of Educators are fantastic. Every morning when I drop off my daughter we are greeted by caring staff who are happy to be at work in a supportive centre with a community feel - this is just one of the main factors I was after - happy staff equals happy children! Within the short few months we have been there the staff have taken a great interest in my daughter and have gotten to know her so well. We are totally on the same page with every aspect of her care and I walk out of the centre knowing that she’ll have all of her needs taken care of throughout her fun & interesting day. This year we have seen the addition of Native Bees (with no stingers) & Guinea Pigs to the centre. The kids are delighted with these pets & my daughter often says bees & guinea pigs in her own way when on the way to Kindy in the mornings 😊 Another aspect of the centre that I’m impressed by is their feedback process. Every day I am provided with a variety of photos and extensive written feedback about exactly what has happened throughout the day. I am also able to have this feedback emailed directly to my family interstate with keeps the grandparents super happy too! 😊 Nappy changes, bottle quantities & times, sleep times & duration & meals are also clearly documented for me to see every day which is so helpful.I can not recommend this centre enough for your child. It is exactly what a childcare centre should be - family focused! 😊 I have no hesitation at all in recommending this centre to other families 😊
