  • We couldn’t be happier with Dinky Dis. After changing day cares we worried that it would take time for Quinn to adapt and settle again But this was not the case. Quinn settled immediately and is always happy in the updates we receive.She’s loving her time at Dinky dis and we are very happy as well. We love the daily updates and pictures always the best part of our days is receiving them.The staff have been very welcoming and loving and caring towards Quinn

  • When I moved to the local area I was hesitant to change my son’s daycare. I went to a couple of orientations at the local daycare providers and dinky di stood out from the rest. my son and I are so happy, he settled in quickly due to the way staff love and support him, every teacher in the daycare knows my child by name and likes, dislikes and comforts, even teachers that are not in his room. I also receive daily photos and updates of what he has been up to and also what he has eaten. I would recommend this school to everyone. one very happy mother and son

  • “We moved our 4yo from a small local centre (where she had been since 1yo) to Dinky Di Tumbi Umbi when she was diagnosed with sensory processing disorder and a 12 month learning delay and it was the best decision we have made! She has advanced ten fold in language, socialising and toilet training in just 5 months. Our OT did a preschool visit after 2 months and commented that she was a different child and Dinky Di already had in place all the interventions she usually recommends to centres! I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for high quality, consistent and positive focused care”
