Testimonials

We feel so lucky to have been part of the Explorers community for the past 3.5 years. The Educators are AMAZING and we feel so comforted knowing our kids are in such caring and safe hands. There are always big smiles, full tummies and lots of news at the end of the day. The management team go above and beyond for families. The Centre is so well run, beautifully clean and a happy place to be.

Lucie Brighton East

We feel very comfortable sending our daughter to Explorers Armadale. The Educators are so welcoming and regularly encourage the children to explore new things - we love seeing the daily updates through the app! It’s great knowing that our daughter learns and has fun in an environment where every child is respected and cared for equally.  

Markus Armadale

My son attends Explorers Beaconsfield. The Educators and management team have been welcoming and amazing from the moment we walked through the door. My son has built strong relationships with the team and has developed so much since he started. He is always super excited to go in and play. We want to thank the fantastic Beaconsfield team for making our childcare days very special.

Bela Beaconsfield

We can give nothing but praise for the team at Explorers Armadale. We have had both of our children enrolled at Explorers Armadale. Our eldest has just finished the entire program to begin Primary School and she is thriving. This is only made possible through the great foundation provided by Explorers and the kindergarten program. Great teachers, nutritious food and an engaging environment.
