I can’t say enough good things about this centre! The staff are truly amazing—friendly, nurturing, and dedicated to creating a warm and supportive environment. They take the time to get to know each child, ensuring that they feel valued.

The centre itself is well-organized and equipped with a variety of activities that promote learning and play.

My son started at this centre this year and I have been very happy with the staff and the care for my boy. I have visited and seen a lot of different centres in the Melbourne area and this centre is by far exceeding my expectations when it comes to the rooms curriculum, and the staffs attenteniveness to the growth of the children.

Thanks Explorers Ashwood!

Our daughter has thrived here! The staff are so beautiful with her, she’s happy at drop off and happy at pick up. She gets cuddles, she gets so many opportunities for learning and we’ve seen wonderful growth in her confidence and motor skills. We love the multicultural environment and are thrilled that she’s enjoying a diverse menu that we just can’t provide at home. We love the photo and story updates through the app. The staff through the whole centre all know us and know that she’s our daughter and we’re greeted with smiling faces every time we come. We’re now moving regionally and have unfortunately had to cancel her enrolment which we’re so disappointed to do; we would have loved to see her continue to grow in this very caring centre. We’d recommend Explorers Ashwood to anyone looking for daycare. They converted this very nervous first time parent to a big fan of daycare!!
