Happy Parents
Lucy was very helpful supporting me and my children during my separation. I found her to be unbiased and warm. I really like the Centre’s focus on the outdoors and having a fenced playground as part of the Centre is so good for my busy children. I also like that Penguin has a consistent carer for my family. I really feel I can rely on them to support my children.

I wasn’t sure what to expect but Lucy really listened to my concerns. Family breakdown is so hard and stressful but Penguin has all the resources to make family visits fun. It was great that the boys could play soccer in the playground. It is also easy to get to and Broadwater Parklands is right across the road.

I was very anxious about the thought of using a contact centre due to a very difficult relationship break down. Lucy was really empathetic to this and I think having gone through similar herself really helped her understand my needs. During my discovery call and intake interview we got chatting about done concerns I had about my sons development. Lucy had some great tips and tricks from her reaching experience that helped make home life easier and she helped ensure both parents were consistent with this approach. I really appreciated her support.
