They can't locate my deposit payment and Managers/admins's communication seems very inefficient. No instruction about registration fee were given on tour,(When they have confirmed there is a place for my girl). And they said there is no space for my girl few months later as spaces are all booked up. I should have known that they are not good at management. Ridiculous admin team and so gutted. How are you going to rely on their care for children, when they simply can not keep up with little admin jobs!
