We could not recommend Ashfield Early Learning more highly! From the moment we joined, we felt welcomed into not just a centre, but a genuine community. The educators are warm, caring, and attachment-focused, creating a safe and nurturing environment where children truly thrive. The activities are thoughtful, engaging, and designed to spark curiosity and joy. We’ve loved seeing our child grow in confidence and creativity through the wonderful experiences provided every day. The centre is always spotless and beautifully maintained, which gives us so much reassurance. The meals were nutritious and varied. One of the things we really valued is the regular updates and open communication — it really helps us feel connected to our child’s learning journey. The educators also go above and beyond to make sure families feel included, with regular community events such as Christmas celebrations, Mother’s and Father’s Day gatherings, and many other special occasions that make everyone feel part of something bigger. Ashfield Early Learning is so much more than childcare — it’s a place where children and families are supported, celebrated, and truly cared for. We are so grateful to be part of it!

I completed my placement at Ashfield Early Learning Centre and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. From day one, I was welcomed by a warm, supportive, and professional team who made me feel part of the family. The educators here are incredibly dedicated and kind — they not only care deeply for the children but also support student learning and growth. The atmosphere is always positive and nurturing, which helps both children and staff feel happy and comfortable. Spending 30 days here confirmed for me that early childhood education is the career I want to pursue. I'm truly grateful to have had the chance to learn in such an inspiring and encouraging environment. Whether you’re a family looking for quality care or a student seeking a meaningful placement, I highly recommend Ashfield Early Learning Centre.

My child had a great experience at AELC. The educators are warm and kind, and provide a fun and safe environment.

Attending Ashfield Early Learning Centre has been a great experience for my family. The staff are warm, caring and affectionate - my daughter was a super clingy one-year old, so it was hard to leave her but Tatenda, Bina and everyone there were so kind and gentle in supporting her to get used to it. Over a year after we moved away from the area, we were reading some books including one given by AELC as and end-of-year gift. She said, "Miss Bina gave me that book. Miss Bina is lovely." Clearly the positive impression has lasted! I particularly appreciated excellent communication from the centre, as well as their efforts in building community with Mother's Day events etc. It's a very good daycare and I'd highly recommend it.

We've been with AELC for a few years, and we really like it. We love the educators for their genuine care and appreciate the ongoing updates and how much they notice about our children. Our first child started in the baby room 3 years ago and our second child also started attending AELC recently. All the educators that looked after our first child are still with AELC and most are now caring for our second child. The low staff turnover is a testament to the positive internal culture of AELC and a great source of comfort for us as parents to have such continuity of care. We also appreciate that the centre is not too large (the educators and kids all know each other) and that it is located next to a park in an airy, light filled building.

My 14 month old loves the educators at AELC. He started at 10 months and his language and social skills have thrived. The staff are excellent, nurturing and kind and go above and beyond. Every day I drop my son off I feel relaxed knowing he’s in safe, loving, capable hands.

Highly recommended childcare. My daughter started there from baby room, and has been there for almost two years. Now she cannot wait to transit into the preschool room with her friends made there. A few good points about this one are, 1, educators are always patient with little ones and easy to approach to discuss parents' concerns. 2, there are both female and male educators, which I believe is vital to little one's personality growth. 3, the facility is nice and clean. Also I can see their equipments have been updated recently. 4, I have seen many parents brought their second one in to join their siblings, which it is a good sigh for us.

Our child went here from 10 months old to 2.5 years ( we moved out of the area so had to take her out). We were so sad on her last day because AELC has truly become an extended family for our little girl. She was treated with so much love and care and each educator, even the ones in different rooms, really got to know her. She is vegan, and they always made the effort to create nutritious meals for her that she always ate. She was given the opportunity to participate in so many interesting and fun and educational activities that we like to credit daycare to creating such a chatty, smart toddler with an eagerness to join in on everything around her. From a baby to a toddler, everyone at AELC really helped give our girl a fantastic start to her childhood. We will miss everyone there and wish we could have brought the centre with us to our new home!
