We’ve been coming to this centre 2 days/week since our baby was around 7 months old (March 2025), and we’ve had such a positive experience! Our little one is often happy during both drop-off and pick-up, and it’s clear she’s built lovely relationships with the educators. Rachelle, the centre manager, is incredibly proactive and supportive. She’s always hands-on, helping with the children and making a real effort to involve parents in centre events. We really appreciate how engaged she is. The educators are warm, caring, and clearly support evidence-based developmental milestones, which we notice both through the daily updates and during drop-off chats when we’re running a bit late! We highly recommend this centre to any parents looking for a nurturing, well-run daycare.

Our daughter has been attending this center for nearly a year, and we couldn't be more impressed. The team of educators and leadership staff (Rach and Belle) are exceptional at what they do. We've witnessed remarkable growth in our daughter's language development and social skills, which we believe is a direct result of the high standards upheld by the educators. Their dedication and expertise truly make a difference!

Lee's Learning was a one of a kind daycare but Rachelle and the team have done a great job of resettling after change. It's great to have continuity of permanent staff and familiar faces. Our kids are incredibly happy here and hopefully First Steps continue to support endeavours to maintain a welcome environment for kids, parents and staff.

The five stars reviews here were for the previous owner - Lee's Learning Centre. It was very good before the change of ownership. After they changed to First Steps Marrickville in Feb 2024, quite a few of the experienced educators left and it didn't feel the same any more. We ended up moving our son to another service and he's much happier now.

Highly recommend this centre. I moved my daughter here after she spent a year and a half at another centre where she struggled to settle. I wasn't sure if it was because of the centre or if because my daughter was unusually clingy, but within a couple months she'd settled into Lee's learning and I couldn't be happier. The carers are all lovely and genuinely caring. The kids are noticeably happier. And I think what also helped was they seem to have consistent rosters so there's always a familiar face during drop-offs. It was also comforting that correspondence/admin is all through the director of the centre (Lee-Lin) which makes communication much easier and more transparent.

Lee's Learning Centre was honestly the best daycare we could have wished for to look after our kids. Many of the carers have been there since the centre opened so it has a really stable, family feel. You can tell it's more than just a job to the staff and the owner Lee Lyn who is just wonderful. Our kids still look forward to popping in and saying hello. even though our youngest left the centre a year ago.

This is by far the best child care we have been, both of my son and daughter loved the centre so much, sadly we had to move on due to relocation. This is a small centre with a great team, the owner of the centre is truly devoted and every staff is caring and loving and always work together to provide the best to all children physically and mentally. The preschool programme is amazing, educators always give a lot of thoughts on the topics and help each child to achieve their best. I highly recommend this child care to the Marrickville locals.

Wonderful staff that are truely passionate about caring for and teaching kids

When I called them if they have availability for my son they said yes. I went for the visit and orientation. I've mentioned my son has some sort of speech delayed. The director said oh okay I will let you know when we have vacancy. But she already told me they have vacancy that time all of the sudden she changed her mind. I'm so disappointed. I waited for few months never call me about vacancy. 😣
