I asked my son how he felt at childcare the other day and his response was ‘safe and brave’ and I think this sums up just how happy we feel at bridge road. We have been there for about 3 years now and the love and understanding they have shown my children has been incredible. They know our kids inside out and have worked with us at every step to help our children thrive. They listen and respond to any requests we have had, adapted care as needed. The educators there are one in a million, but mostly they truly love our children. We would be totally lost without the care and consideration bridge road has shown us.

Unfortunately we are currently experiencing that the leadership are bullying my child by excluding her from activities because they want us to move her funding there, as she is only there two times per week. This means my child has to stay back, often as the only child, witnessing her peers get dressed up to go on excursions. She has been so sad about it they have had to call her home. They have not set up an alternative program, making this a clear breech of their responsibilities, and their communication is terrible. There is nothing holding them back from including her other than greed and exploitation of the funding program. There is an offical complaint on VECRA, who are helping us drive a change in their priorities. I would think twice before sending my kids here until this is resolved and we can trust they are acting in the kids' best interest, not their business'.

My daughter has been attending BRELC for almost a year now. The staff are so wonderful And due to relocation my daughter will Be leaving the centre but I will greatly miss everyone it wasn’t a light decision to make. Thank you for your care during my daughter time there.

We’ve loved our time at BRELC. The educators and management are warm, accommodating and understanding, and the whole place has a really lovely, homey vibe. Even in a short time, my child adjusted quickly and absolutely adored the kinder program, especially bush kinder on Fridays. We’re only leaving because we’re moving houses, otherwise we would have definitely stayed. So grateful for the care and kindness here.

Our daughter has been at BRELC for 2 years and we love it. The educators are amazing, great facilities and a wonderful and engaging programme. We look Forward to her starting Kinder at BRELC in January. Highly reccomend!

We loved our time at this excellent daycare! My son attended from 7mths old to now 3yrs old. The best thing about this centre is the amazing staff members who were always so caring, warm and greeted us every day with a genuine smile. They made my son feel comfortable and supported. The flexible hours and being open over Christmas/New Years were absolutely essential for our work. There are also lots of incursions, weekly activities (sports, music classes, cooking, etc) and celebrations (Lunar New Year, Diwali, etc), which made each day so enjoyable for my son. We also loved how we felt part of a community with fun family events and parent committees.

Our daughter has attended Bridge Rd ELC for over 12 months now and has had a wonderful experience with this centre. She has been in both the baby and toddler room and thrived in both. We have found the staff to be warm and consistent, and they are genuinely interested and delight in our child. There is regular communication between parents and educators and interest in feedback as to what can be improved. Lots of culturally diverse celebrations and opportunities for extended family to be involved at the centre are also great. My family would definitely recommend!
