Platypus Junction Mulgrave

Staff are very helpful and kind. The Centre is very clean, and food provided (to kids) is fantastic. Special thanks to Lara and Dani.

Both of my kids have attended Platypus!
The team are fantastic! They are caring, fun, loving and helped my little ones blossom.
They made me feel at ease when both of my kids started (answering all my check in calls without making me feel annoying or being a pain - they actually welcomed it AND also sending additional pictures to let me see how the day was going.)
They do fun activities throughout the day too!
Management were always available when I needed and easy to approach (Thank you Lara and Dani you guys are amazing).

I can’t thank the team enough for making our experience as good as it was:)

I absolutely love Platypus Junction Mulgrave! Lara, Dani and the educators are super friendly and have the most amazing communication. I would highly recommend Platypus Junction to any parents looking for a top quality daycare.

Agreed with the previous review that the senior management changed a lot since 2022. The educators are still passionate and caring, however the communication from the management is poor and less responsive. More often you need to speak to the head office in order for them to communicate with you. It is such a shame as it was a well managed organisation before 2022. Leadership structure needs to be reviewed.

The manage team at this place has changed and now it is a nightmare. They do not provide transparent information. They could tell you totally different things in different days. I do not recommend wasting time with them to do the tour and enrollment as it will end up wasting time.

Our girls have been attending platypus junction since they were babies and can not be more happier. The ladies are amazing, especially at the initial stages of transitioning from mummy care to daycare. It's great to see our kids now don't cry at drop offs and want to stay at pick up. The ladies really care about our kids and give them that TLC when they need it. The play area is beautiful with lots of activities and toys for a growing mind. It's clean, staff very friendly and work with you in developing a plan (both social and development) to ensure they are meeting thier goals. If you are looking for quality daycare- this centre is it.

From the first visit done with the Manager Ferah almost 2 years ago I knew that this is the perfect centre for my daughter, my daughter after that started with orientation session and she loved it, now she look forward to go there. I would like to say that this centre by far one of the best childcare in the area. I'VE SEEN ALOT ;)   as part of my Job.

Children best interest, development and health in this centre is the first priority, the support for families from the Manager (Ferah) and educators relationship with the children is incurable.they really took it to the next level of support and care throw this health pandemic. Children never experienced any different in learning and developments and other services provided throw this pandemic COVID-19 which is amazing Job compared by other centres in the area. As essential worker I was lucky to have my daughter enrolled with Platypus Junction Mulgrave to have that peace of mind while at work.
I cannot thank PJ Mulgrave enough for the support they gave our family and my daughter from the time of enrolment.
If you looking around for high standard childcare in Mulgrave for your child do not look any more this is the one.

I have had 2 children at Platypus Junction Mulgrave over the past 3.5 years and couldn't of asked for a better ELC. I feel they gave my son all the tools and education needed to start Prep this year. My daughter is still their and they have been a great help and support from Nursery to Pre-Kinder - the activities are excellent from Animal Farm visits, Yoga, Gardening, cultural days and cooking. I would recommend this center to anyone in the area looking for excellent education, clean facilities and fun and loving teachers.

Our children have been attending the Mulgrave centre since the year it first opened. We have been highly impressed with the first class services they have provided ever since. The level of love, care and support ALL of the carers have displayed is second to none. Our girls are treated as if they are a part of a family, which is an important factor when your children are cared for 5 days a week. Education and experiences are above and beyond a normal centre, with PJ Mulgrave providing in abundance to develop our children with a bright and exciting future ahead.

Very good child care, clean and tidy, and very good facility, new and professional. Every kid has own goal to achieve.

My daughter has been going there for 2 years and she loves it. I have to drag her home most days. Clean updated facility with well informed and helpful educators. Highly recommended.

I could not speak more highly of Platypus Junction Mulgrave. As an early childhood teacher I was very particular about where I wanted to send my baby. I looked at so many childcare centres and Platypus Junction was the first centre I looked at where I felt completely comfortable. The centre is clean, beautifully set up and well maintained. The staff are friendly, responsive and have such beautiful relationships with the children, from the room all the way up to management. Platypus junction has fantastic communication and I always feel in the loop and confident that I know what is going on around the centre and that my child is safe and well looked after. I absolutely recommend this centre.

This is such an awesome place. My daughter absolutely loves it here and the educators are really great. She has learnt so much throughout her years here

Our daughter loves going here. Very happy with our choice of childcare, the inside is modern and the rooftop garden has so much space for the kids to explore!

That is great and fabulous centre, my son and I are very happy with them. Very friendly and lovely and helpful and gorgeous staff.
Best centre in Melbourne️️

I have been sending my son to Platypus Junction Mulgrave for a year and half now and he absolutely loves it. The team are so great and professional.

Shazza is the best. The bond my daughter has made with a few specific leaders is why we've been happily sending her here for the last two years.

WOW what can l say, there are way to many to list as to why l am giving a 5 star review, but what l know for is you wont regret sending your kids here when you realise how efficient the management team is and how great the carers are. Go find out for your self, you most certainly won't be disappointed.

Couldn’t ask for a better center and educators. I am a master student in teaching in early years, and let’s just say, playtypus Mulgrave is by far the best center I have experienced (and yes I mean the three centers I have done my placements, and also bunch of centers I have visited before enroll my little one). Managing team staff are always very helpful and friendly. Educators in my daughters room are very professional, from the room leader to the casual educators! Every time I walk into the room, they are always ON THE FLOOR with the children (sometimes standing changing nap pies and cleaning the room, you get the gist). The report that they do every day is not to meet the requirement, but you can actually tell they are trying to facilitate learning in the room. All in all, by far the best, and I would recommend all my friends here if they ever ask for advice. You can’t go wrong with this center!

My son has been at PJ for almost a year now just after they first opened and the level of care at the centre has always been incredible. My son loves the educators as they do love him and they treat the children as if they were their own. They are always friendly, happy and attentive. My son looks forward to attending and at times he doesn’t want to leave. The place is clean, spacious and well set up with good quality activities and toys. The rooftop garden is amazing with a vegetable garden and great views too! While I’m at work I don’t have to worry as I know my son is being well looked after and thriving in this environment. I don’t plan to move as I want him to stay there until he starts primary. Thank you PJ for helping me raise a happy child!
