I couldn't be happier with the care and support provided by Sanctuary Health Precinct. The staff are incredibly attentive and genuinely care about the unique needs of each child. My son is on the ASD spectrum, and they ensure his individual needs are met with care and understanding. Highly recommended!

Since our 1st day we have found this daycare to be supportive & caring. The facility is fantastic, so much space, neat tidy, outdoor play areas both in the sun for mornings & cooler days & shaded play areas so the children can still be outside during the summer. The staff are the best i have come across, very attentive, I know at each drop off my child will be loved & cared for at such high standards. My child has flourished in this environment & we couldn't be more happier with Sanctuary early learning Southport
