Canberra Road Early Education Centre, Sylvania

I put my daughter into daycare at eight months old and spent numerous hours researching the right centre. a very timid little girl, I wanted to make sure the daycare I chose was nurturing, consistent, solid staff (all the tick boxes that they tell you as a first time mum). Canberra Rd exceeded all of these.She’s been attending for over a year now and still has all the same educators (apart from a couple that have left due to maternity leave). It’s a humble little daycare; the educators are loving, down to earth and make a real effort with the kids and also parents! They keep you well informed of weekly events/happenings and as always, adore the daily photos.10/10 for me and also my daughter who excitedly runs into daycare every morning.

My two children go to Canberra Road Early Education Centre, and we love it. The spaces are beautiful and filled with a lot of native Australian and indigenous teachings. The staff are knowledgeable, kind and loving towards my children, my youngest started at 7 months and they have been so helpful with her settling and communicating with me. I get daily feedback and photos of their days and great communication of other activities that are planned. 100% recommend them

This is the best possible start in formal learning for our child. The centre is exceptionally well managed, extremely friendly and professional. They are helpful and keenly interested in our child and our family.The Council and the staff communicate with a thorough understanding of our needs and wants every time. We feel extremely valued and most importantly, our child loves attending because of the staff's authentic connection. This includes the cook, who knows our child by name and makes very well balanced delicious food that our fussy eater loves.The educators are extremely creative, hard working and professional. They are very good at what they do and really enthusiastic, always looking to find things to engage the learners with the world around them. We work in education and therefore really see the amount of time spent on getting their lessons to the very high quality that they do. We are in fact, a little bit in awe of their tireless commitment to deep learning and fun at the same time.The centre is surrounded by parks on a quiet road and has good safe fencing. It has a large airy space and because of this our child does not get ill as often as was occurring in another centre. The staff are friendly and collaborative, always modelling positivity and welcoming empathy - which has created such a happy culture there.We consider ourselves very lucky to have our child learn and thrive there and wouldn't change that for anything. With all honesty, this is a world class centre with the best possible educators.

My child goes to Canberra Rd and I cannot recommend them highly enough. All the staff are caring, attentive and professional. I feel as though the staff know my child, her personality and cater to all her needs. Previously we went to a private childcare which cost double the amount but had a terrible staff turnover. It took my child almost a year to settle there. My child settled within a week at Canberra Rd! All the staff have been there for years (I think 5 years plus) and my child/I see the same friendly faces everyday. This has made a huge difference to my child feeling safe, secure and building my confidence that she is being cared for by carers she holds an attachment too. My child loves going to school" and "playing with her friends and teachers". They have catered to all her dietary needs without issue and have been more than accommodating in every way possible. We adore all the staff at Canberra Rd. We recently was offered a spot at another highly sort after council childcare centre as it is across the road from our home and declined due to how happy we are with Canberra Rd. I would rather extra travel time than convenience to have the amazing team at Canberra Rd care and educate for my child. If you want to send your child to a centre that truly cares about your child
