What Parents Think
“Both my children have loved Simbas. My son is in primary school now and still talks about it. Our daughter had hearing problems and had to get grommets, which meant she was a bit behind with her speech. Everyone at Simbas helped her catch up and she's very talkative now and full of confidence. All the teachers are amazing. I can't recommend Simbas enough!"
Beren & Nala's Dad
