THE HIVE EARLY LEARNING CENTRE GEELONG REVIEWS

We love our daycare days. The girls are greeted with a smile and chat from the ladies at reception. There's always a cuddle if it's a tough goodbye and photos throughout the day to keep me updated. I love listening to them sing new songs they learn from daycare. A great clean and friendly centre.

Our family is really happy with the quality of care and nurturing provided by the educators to our son since starting day care in the toddler one room a few months ago. A beautiful centre and fantastic communication from staff.

My boys have attended The Hive since the start of 2023 and the educators and staff have been absolutely amazing with us. They really do go above and beyond with the care, love and affection for my boys and all the other kids. Best day care centre we have attended.

GOODSTART EARLY LEARNING GEELONG REVIEWS

This centre is absolutely fantastic. My daughter has been attending since she was 12 months old and has thrived. The centre is clean, safe, has large outdoor areas (separated for different rooms) and I feel 100% confident in the staff taking care of and educating my daughter. A very special mention to Ange, Caitlyn, Mansy and Shania who my daughter has really bonded with.

Always accomodating. Very clean. My child is treated like a individual, I feel like the educators really take there job seriously and have lots of passion, patience and respect for all children. Would highly recommend. Thank you for always being there for my child and myself.

Our little one is so happy here at Goodstart and the staff are wonderful. Our son is on a strict dairy-free diet and I feel at ease with him at this centre. They are just great. Highly recommend.

ONE WORLD FOR CHILDREN PTY LTD. REVIEWS

We have been with the centre for 8 years between 3 kids with varying needs & i could never fault them they are amazing the service they offer is elite. They have been more than accomodating for children with disabilities and nothing is an issue for them with accomodating what will help the kids thrive. The activities and thought they have put into everything having a positive impact on the kids learning and teaching them is impressive. The workers there show so much love and consideration for the children and parents they become apart of your family. It genuinely was the best choice we ever made for our kids.

I’ve always loved one world from the moment I stepped inside! I love that they do family rooms so siblings can play together! Staff are amazing and so friendly caring and kind and I couldn’t recommend a better centre.

Amazing childcare centre! Always going above and beyond for our kids, with great communication to us as parents and very tentative. Always doing as we ask and helping guide us with things we get stuck on. They strive to achieve the absolute best for the next generation! Couldn't recommend them enough.
