Hi there, welcome to the journey, being a first-time working mum is a lot to navigate! From what I've heard around, a few names come up regularly for Tampines infant care: The Orange Academy @ Tampines One, Sunshine (another centre people mention in the same breath), and ChildFirst @ Tampines. My friend sent her eldest to ChildFirst and said the principal and teachers were really nurturing, though fees were around $1,600 a month, so it's on the higher end, worth weighing whether the care quality justifies the cost for your budget. Nurture Infant House at Tampines St 43 also gets mentioned for families in the north side of Tampines, which might be more convenient depending on where you live. Honestly, some mums swear by one centre while others had a different experience with the same place, so I'd say shortlist two or three based on location and fees, then go for a visit to get a feel for the teachers and environment, that usually tells you more than anything else.
