Fresh air, loving educators, variety in activities and fun - Mini Mates ticks all the boxes. Our children have been at Mini Mates since the start of this year when their previous daycare shutdown. What a blessing in disguise that was! We never knew a daycare could be so wonderful until we found Mini Mates. Maria, the owner and Director, is so dedicated to the children and is genuinely interested in each child’s special interests. Our boys are thriving at Mini Mates thanks to the beautiful staff and homely environment. If you’re considering this place - consider this your confirmation that you’ve found the one.

Mini Mates Early Learning Centre Dural has truly been a home away from home for our family. This warm, nurturing, and beautifully managed centre—led by Maria and her dedicated team—has been an incredible support to us. Having experienced several other centres, I can confidently say that Mini Mates stands apart in every way. The level of compassion, care, and genuine support we’ve received—especially as parents of a child with special needs—has been invaluable. We have always felt heard, understood, and supported throughout our journey. The dedication and passion demonstrated by every single member of the Mini Mates team is a true reflection of the centre’s values and leadership. Each staff member brings kindness, empathy, and professionalism to their role, creating an environment where children truly thrive. We are deeply grateful for everything the team has done for our family. I highly recommend Mini Mates Early Learning Centre to any parent seeking a loving, inclusive, and nurturing environment for their child. Thank you to the entire team for the extraordinary care and support you provide every day.

Stop searching - this is the ultimate daycare! This place is exceptional - and I looked at many before choosing Mini Mates. It's warm, joyful, and nurturing — a place where learning is fun and every child is seen and supported. I genuinely can't recommend it enough. Mrs Maria has an extraordinary gift with children. Her nurturing and kind nature set the tone, and every educator reflects that same care and positivity. Mini Mates is clean and hygenic, has a great learning curriculum and parents receive regular updates and communication from the educators. It is in a quiet street and surrounded by nature, with a brilliant backyard that the kids adore playing in. My children were initially hesitant starting out at daycare, but the gentle guidance and support they received made all the difference. They now enjoy going, rushing in with smiles and barely stopping to say goodbye!

Mini Mates is by far the best daycare centre we’ve come across. This family-run business has been so impactful for our son who loves going to daycare. He absolutely thrives, and is always coming home with something new he has learnt for the day. Not only is it a safe space for young children, it is educational, setting each child up for their next chapter. My husband and I are extremely grateful to Maria and the Mini Mates team in enriching our son’s life. We highly recommend this daycare centre. Thank you Maria ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
