1. Was at SAFRA Mount Faber with my darling a few weeks ago and we saw several toddlers finishing their swimming lessons.
2. I asked one of the adult taking care of the toddlers if we can sign up our girl for the swimming class and was pleasantly surprised to find out that there is a childcare call NurtureStars located right within Mount Faber SAFRA.
3. We went inside NurtureStar office and interacted with the staff and also observed the teachers - children interactions.
4. We did further reviews from Kiasuparents, SMH and Idobb and found some 2010 feedbacks.
5. This is an extract from NurtureStars Child Care Centre @ Mount Faber SAFRA:

"a joint collaboration between SAFRA and Kinderland Educare Services Pte Ltd, had commenced operations on 4th January 2010 at SAFRA Mount Faber."

6. Was told that the fees for N1 after MCYS subsidy is about $500+ It was mentioned in another forum that there are additional costs involved for enrichment programme - is the enrichment programme compulsory or can one opt-in/opt-out?
7. Was also told that their current waiting list is 30+ (which seems to be the save as Eager Beaver @ Bukit Merah, too similar to be believable)
8. While the location and facilities in SAFRA are great, one can't help worry that this may not be mid or even long term, esp. since Eager Beaver @ Bukit Merah used to be in SAFRA @ Mount Faber until end 2008. Does anybody knows why Eager Beaver moved out of SAFRA premises? One short-term consolation is that the other Nurturestars in location SAFRA@Yishun Cty Club.
9. Would appreciate if parents who have sent their children to this 1+ yr old NurtureStars @Mount Faber SAFRA to give such updated feedback, focusing on the strengths and weaknesses of this Childcare.
Thank-you in advance.
