We initially enrolled our son with EDGE in early 2024, then by early 2025 I thought that changing him to a closer from home childcare was a good idea, but I was wrong. We are grateful that we were accepted back. Our son enjoys attending his childcare again, he loves the music, messy playing, doing crafts, painting, dancing, story time, the food and the sandpit. Also, he likes to play with his friends and he feels safe with the educators. Every day the educators have some different activities to keep him busy. We appreciate that the educators were very supportive when he returned. We can see it as we noticed positive changes in his behavior at home. He is a happy, hungry, curious toddler again.

Response from the owner 26 Mar 2025

Hi Wendy, thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re so happy to hear that your son is thriving and enjoying his time with us again. It’s wonderful to know he’s engaged in the various activities, from music and messy play to crafts and story time. We truly appreciate your kind words about the educators and the positive impact they’ve had on your son. It’s always a pleasure to support our families, and we’re grateful to have him back with us at Edge Charnwood.

My little one has been attending Edge since 2022. I've always been a huge fan of the centre, but with recent management change, we are even more in love. Everyone is welcoming and the new additions to the communal areas make it even more comforting. Everyone is easily approachable, answering questions and happy to have a chat. It gives a real family vibe. I am impressed with the changes and happy that we still have time in our journey at the centre to enjoy the successes of the new feel of the centre.
