East Bentleigh Child Care Centre

Our son has been attending the centre during this most difficult of years and as an early childhood educator myself I could not recommend EBCCC more. The staff are experienced, kind and promote a real sense of belonging. The program is very educational and encourages the exploration of the amazing indoor and outdoor environment with interesting and fun learning experiences. My son considers his teachers to be his friends and his social and emotional development has been nurtured. The educators are warm, caring and have a great approach with honest and open communication. It doesn’t matter who is working in the room with the children, all the educators know the children’s needs and interests and make a real effort to build beautiful relationships with the children and families. A high quality service and a great part of our community.

EBCCC is a fantastic centre! My daughter attends the centre and we couldn't be happier with the quality of care, learning and experience. The educators are amazing, enjoy their job and truly care for the children, which is reflective of the extremely low staff turnover. The centre has such a warm and loving atmosphere with delicious freshly cooked meals. Highly recommend!

I was recommended this centre by a few local families who’d been there for a number of years and I was not disappointed! The centre is small and feels very much like a little community. My two sons now attend and love it! The educators are so warm and loving, everyone knows all of the kids by name and the care they receive every day is wonderful. The centre has a beautiful natural outdoor space which all the children enjoy year long. We’ve met some wonderful families and are so grateful we have a centre like this local to us.

EBCCC was exactly the centre I was looking for! Familiar, warm and the ideal classroom size. The teachers are so warm and they all know your child, even if they are not in their room. They have exceeded my expectations in every way, I could not recommend them more.

Amazing, warm, caring, educated open and honest are just some of the words I use to describe East Bentleigh child care centre. My two children have both attended as babies and both their development has been remarkable. My son is now achieving goals above for his age. I put this down to his teachers at childcare and now school for building his self confidence and allowing him to develop his sense of self. Great work Ebcc you are all amazing !!!

My daughter has attended EBCCC for several years and I could not be happier. The staff are caring, professional, highly knowledgeable and experienced. My daughter is incredibly fond of her Kinder teacher and is always coming home with reports of interesting and stimulating activities. There is a beautiful community feel surrounding the center. The play spaces are aesthetically beautiful and carefully considered. Highly recommended!

Such a beautiful childcare centre. The educators across all the rooms are so caring, and my little girl developed some great relationships with so many. Loved the large outdoor area and the family feel which is why we chose it over so many others at the beginning.

My bub started childcare at 7 months. I went to around 6 Centres before I found EBCC. I just felt instantly comfortable and totally confident that the centre is of a very high quality and the staff are great. My baby is in the Gumnut room and is looked after by Haley and Sruti who my bub loves! She has so much fun there and gets excited and smiles when I drop her off. No tears and no anxiety at all from me or her! I have been particularly impressed with how the COVID restrictions and safety have been managed by the manager Emma. Big thanks to the team for staying open and enabling my baby to continue to attend even during stage 4! Highly recommend EBCC to anyone wanting a childcare with a community and family feel where they can be confident that their bub will receive the best care.

We are extremely happy with EBCCCC. The staff are lovely and our son loves his time there. Before we moved to the area, our son went to a newly established childcare centre where the environment was sterile and the staff were unfriendly. It was run purely as a business rather than having the children's welfare and development at the forefront. Since moving to EBCCCC our son has thrived off the nurturing nature of the staff who truly care about him. His confidence has grown immensely and he has made some lovely friends in both the staff and other children who attend the centre. The outdoor area is definitely a favourite area for all the children that attend.

This is a wonderful centre where I feel like my boys are part of an extended family. Both my boys have been at EBCCC full time since they were around 8 months old. The educators in all of the rooms have all been warm and caring and some have developed very special relationships with my two. There is a great program for the children to vary their experience throughout the day/week including music, crafts, culture, incursions and excursions. The grounds provide a very natural setting for outdoor play with a fabulous gardening program. The children have a freshly cooked lunch everyday with lots of variety. My boys have only benefited from spending time at EBCCC and I would recommend this centre as a safe place where your children can learn and grow.
