Not a Chain compared 1,092 childcare centres in Victoria, with 26,796 Google reviews between them. Of these, 450 meet this list's method. The median rating is 4.8 from a median of 16 reviews.
Of the childcare centres compared, the most reviewed is Hoppers Crossing Montessori Centre, with 185 Google reviews at 4.8.
How this list is ranked
Businesses are ranked as in the fairly rated method, but only those whose name and website each appear in no more than two places in Australia are listed, so chains and franchises are left out. Each needs at least five Google reviews.
A business that shares its name with unrelated businesses elsewhere can be left out by mistake, and being part of a chain says nothing about quality.
