JENNY’S EARLY LEARNING CENTRE STRATHFIELDSAYE REVIEWS

Jenny’s Early Learning Centre in Strathfieldsaye is excellent. My daughter has been going there for 1.5 years now and she absolutely loves it. Always coming home, telling me about her day and naming all of her wonderful educators. She is always cared for and provided many opportunities to engage in various activities. The communication from management is excellent and they care for their students as well as their students families very well, always trying to provide extra days or support where they can when we need it. Very happy we chose Jenny’s Strathfieldsaye for our little girl.

Jenny's ELC Strathfieldsaye has been an amazing experience for our son and we couldn't be happier. The team at Jenny's always go above and beyond to provide a caring, supportive and fun environment. My son is excited to go to daycare and learns so much. The activities set up are engaging, creative and educational. No wonder he loves it so much. We highly recommend Jenny's Strathfieldsaye.

My 2 year old son has just started at Jenny's early learning strathfeildsaye and he loves it, the communication is amazing, the care is fantastic, my son always comes back happy and exhausted because of how much fun he has had!

ASPIRE BENDIGO CHILDCARE CENTRE REVIEWS

We can't praise Aspire Bendigo enough. Our little one started going a couple of days a week from about 10 months old and we felt welcome from the beginning. The staff have always been professional, caring, informative and look after our little one like their own. Knowing our child is in the best care was so important to us and we can't thank everyone enough. Highly recommend.

All I can say is aspire is such an amazing centre! I have been through a few different daycares with my other children in the past and this one is by far the best! I can 100% say I trust the carers and know that my lil one is in fantastic hands. The freedom they get allows my daughter to have fun doing what she wants, they keep her happy and content throught the whole day. If your searching for a daycare facility you definitely need to check them out.

We are so happy sending our little boy to Aspire. The educators and staff are amazing. I feel content going off to work knowing that my baby is in good hands and being cared for like family. They've also been really responsive to our son's specific diet which has been such a relief. We love being part of the Aspire community and will send our boy here until he goes off to prep.

JOURNEY EARLY LEARNING CENTRE BENDIGO SOUTH REVIEWS

It’s a fantastic Center for kids to learn and play, all the staff are fantastic and welcoming, the shared yard is a fantastic idea as it allows kids from different age groups to interact with each other, your always greeted with a smile and feel welcome.

I was very worried about putting my 6 month old in care as their still so little, but the educators are so wonderful and with their one on one educator approach my daughter created that bond very quickly feeling safe and secure within a few weeks and now she waves to me and smiles, and her development has progressed so much being in care she absolutely loves it.

The educators in my daughter’s room have gone above and beyond to help her settle in and feel safe. She is growing in confidence every day and the educators do an exceptional job of keeping you updated daily, as well as with a focus on your child’s goals.
