I am extremely disappointed and deeply concerned with the care at this daycare. My 5-month-old baby was left without a bottle for the entire day, from drop-off in the morning until pick-up in the afternoon. I only discovered this because I had to call to ask, as no updates were provided. This level of neglect is completely unacceptable and put my child’s health at risk. What makes this even worse is that since raising the issue, my phone calls and emails have been ignored. There has been no accountability, no apology, and no reassurance that changes will be made. As a parent, I entrusted this center with my baby’s wellbeing, and that trust has been broken beyond repair. No family should have to worry about whether their infant is being fed or whether serious concerns will be brushed aside. I would strongly caution any parent considering this daycare.

We have just started with KEL and cannot express how helpful and caring the whole team has been. My little one feels so comfortable in this space and we both couldn’t be happier! I love that he is always feeling safe and happy here. Mel is absolutely amazing and so helpful as well as the educators that are so hands on with my little one to help him with all his learning and social needs. So grateful for this space and everyone amongst it!!

It’s truly rewarding to hear how comfortable and happy your little one feels in our care — that’s exactly what we strive for every day! We’re so glad that Mel and the educators have made such a positive impact on both of you. Our team works hard to create a safe, supportive, and engaging environment for all children, and knowing it’s made a difference means the world to us. We are grateful to have families like yours as part of our community, and we look forward to continuing to support your little one’s growth and learning journey. Warm regards, Karratha Early Learning

My son has been attending Karratha Early Learning for the last 6 months. The staff in the toddler room have been so amazing! They have helped my son transition from only staying a few hours in the morning to staying and having his day nap in the centre. We are always welcomed with smiley faces and upbeat staff who make us feel so safe and comfortable leaving our son in their care! Communication is amazing and they have always kept us on the loop during the day while my son transitioned. Our son is always excited on the days when he has school! We couldn’t ask for more from everyone at KEL!
Jace, Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re so pleased to hear about your son’s positive experience at Karratha Early Learning over the past six months. Our team in the toddler room is truly dedicated to making every child feel comfortable and safe, and we’re thrilled that your son’s transition from short stays to full days, including naps, has been smooth. It’s great to know that he looks forward to coming to care, and we’re always here to ensure you feel supported and informed. Your kind words about our communication and staff mean a lot to us. We’re so glad we could make you and your family feel safe and welcome, and we look forward to continuing this wonderful journey with your son! Thank you again!

AMAZING!! I highly recommend the centre, theyre impeccable communication, kind and friendly staff present a very well organised centre. My child is absolutely thriving since moving to Karratha Early Learning 5 months ago. Well equipped rooms with functional safe spaces for children to play and learn. They have a fantastic app to keep updated with my childs activities throughout the day. No regrets moving my child here, he sleeps so much better and has learnt so many new skills. Its evident that the staff love their jobs and take the utmost care in providing a loving and supportive experience for the children and families too!

I can't rate KEL highly enough. My son has thrived since being there and they are able to give him opportunities to learn, experience and socialise that he wouldn't get at home with us. He loves going and we love the regular pictures and updates on his day via the app. The staff are super helpful and always willing to amend their approach to his individual needs.
Hi Ruth, Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to leave us a review. We are thrilled to hear that your son is thriving at Karratha Early Learning and that he enjoys his time with us. It’s wonderful to know that the opportunities we provide for learning, experiences, and socialization are making a positive impact. We’re also glad that you appreciate the regular updates and photos via the app, and we’re always happy to adjust our approach to meet his individual needs. Your feedback is incredibly valuable to us, and it motivates us to continue providing the best care and education for all our children. Thanks again for your support! Best regards, The Karratha Early Learning Team
Bethany Barnes
When our son turned 18 months, we thought it would be good for him to socialize in daycare a few days a week. New to town and worried about rumors of centers being full, we toured multiple places, and KEL stood out far beyond the rest. The staff was the point of difference for us, and Sarah really took the time to explain everything and make us feel welcomed. My husband and I both left with the gut feeling that KEL was for us! Securing a spot was a very smooth process, and Sarah and her team have been incredibly supportive through this new transition for our family. We highly recommend KEL to anyone considering childcare.
Hi Bethany, Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We're delighted to hear that you and your husband chose Karratha Early Learning for your son and that your experience has been so positive. It's great to know that our staff, especially Sarah, made a significant difference by making you feel welcome and thoroughly explaining everything. We're thrilled that securing a spot was smooth and that our team has been supportive during this transition for your family. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we are grateful for your kind words. We look forward to continuing to support your son’s growth and development. Best regards, The Karratha Early Learning Team

At first i was hesitant to send our kids based on past reviews, but upon the registration and tour the process was so easy and the staff made the transition smooth. We have been there almost a year and each day my kids still get super excited to go to 'school'. The staff are AMAZING, the food they are fed looks delicious and healthy & we are constantly getting updated on their days
Hi Steph, Thank you so much for your fantastic review! It’s wonderful to know that the transition was smooth and that your kids continue to be excited to come to “school” every day. We’re thrilled to hear your praise for our amazing staff, healthy and delicious meals, and the regular updates you receive about their days. Karratha Early Learning Team.

Daycare My LO attends the centre since July 2023, she started at the nursery when she was 9 months old. As a first time parents we had all the possible fears to leave our most precious and vulnerable little thing to the care of someone else. 10 months down the track we are the happiest ever for taking her to Karratha Early Learning, where we met their amazing staff, first at the nursery, then at the toddlers room. Our daughter loves everything and everyone at her childcare centre. She gets very excited every morning when drop off time comes and mentions her little friends and educators at home after being picked up. That makes us know how well looked after she is. She has fun, learns lots, socializes and developes great skills every week. I am still impressed for all the creative activities the lovely staff organize for the kids. My partner and I melt seeing update photos of their activities through the day, as they do so much! For us, the most important skill the staff taught our LO was independent sleep. That improved our bed time routine and we were all happier after she pick that up. Thanks to the patient and caring staff and super attentive manager Sarah for looking after our gorgeous toddler. Can’t miss mentioning the kids get prepared meals by a lovely chef, Miss June, with a good variety of nutrients and flavours. Looking at our daughter having double portion almost every meal, we can tell these must be really yummy. Another thing we love from the centre is the great communication flow from the manager/staff to the families, also the way they encourage families to take part in activities and suggestions to improve the service. We are now expecting our second baby and is already in the waiting list to start at the centre at the end of the year. This is how much we trust they will keep up with the great work.
Hi Ana, Thank you so much for your wonderful and detailed review! We are thrilled to hear about your positive experience with Karratha Early Learning. We understand the anxieties first-time parents have, and we’re glad that your transition with your daughter, from the nursery to the toddler room, has been smooth and fulfilling. It’s heartwarming to know she loves her time here, eagerly participates in activities, and is developing essential skills. Your appreciation for our staff, particularly their efforts in teaching independent sleep and organizing creative activities, means a lot to us. We’re also pleased to hear that the nutritious meals prepared by Miss June are a hit with your daughter. Communication and involving families in our activities are key priorities for us, so we're happy that you value this aspect of our service. Congratulations on expecting your second baby! We’re honored to be a trusted part of your family’s journey and look forward to welcoming your new addition later this year. Thank you again for your kind words and trust in Karratha Early Learning. Best regards, The Karratha Early Learning Team

Both the centre manager Sarah and educators at KEL have been absolutely wonderful to deal with and are so caring. We have been at the centre a little over a year since moving from interstate and they were all wonderful helping her settle in, and continue to be lovely all round.

What is a Top Rated Centre? A top rated centre must have 5 star average reviews rating, as well as 'Exceeding' or 'Excellent' NQS rating. The National Quality Standards are a set of national benchmarks for early childhood education and care services. It includes seven quality areas like "Children's health and safety" and "Educational program and practice".
Criteria:
The National Quality Standard (NQS) is part of the National Quality Framework (NQF), introduced to enhance the quality of early childhood education and care services in Australia. Developed by the Australian Children’s Education and Care Quality Authority (ACECQA), the NQS provides a benchmark for childcare services, from long day care and family day care to preschools, kindergartens, and outside school hours care. Under the NQS, childcare services are assessed and rated for the quality of education and care they provide. These ratings give parents a clear understanding of how well a service meets national standards, helping them make the best choice for their child’s needs.
Our average ratings are pulled from verified reviews from Google Reviews and direct parent reviews posted on the Care For Kids website.
Verified Centres are vetted by Care for Kids. As part of this process, Verified Centres undergo a financial assessment to ensure their reliability and credibility. We maintain an ongoing relationship with Verified Centres and provide them with support so they can offer you fresh and accurate information.
