We moved our son to Lead midway through this year and he’s only ever spoken highly of his experiences. Leanne and the team are welcoming, fun and communicative. The centre provides non-stop activities and experiences for the kids to keep them learning and entertained. There is a great community feel. You can see how well the staff truely care for the kids. Great value for money; would recommend to everyone!

I cannot recommend Lead Early Learning centre enough. This centre provides a warm, welcoming and inclusive environment. The staff are very caring and friendly, they ensure the children’s learning needs are all met and dedicate their time to each child’s growth. The quality of learning at LELC is very impressive, it truly is a wonderful space for early education.
