We have been attending Kanooka Grove Early Learning since 2024, after our previous daycare no longer felt like the right fit for our family, and we couldn’t be happier with our decision to make the move.<br><br>From the beginning, we have felt such a positive and welcoming atmosphere. There is a genuine sense of community, and the educators are caring, approachable and truly invested in the children. Our kids absolutely love going and get so excited to see their teachers each day, which gives us such peace of mind.<br><br>The facilities are fantastic, and the food is another real highlight — our kids love the meals and we are always impressed by the quality and variety.<br><br>We also really value that Kanooka Grove is a not-for-profit centre. Knowing that the focus is on the children and the community, rather than profit, aligns really well with our family values and is something that was important to us when choosing a centre in the Clayton area.<br><br>We are so happy to have found Kanooka Grove Early Learning. It has become a place where our children feel happy, safe and supported, and we would highly recommend it to other families.

We love Kanooka and so does our son, it's an amazing environment and the staff are brilliant!

Highly recommend Kanooka Early Learning Centre! The staff are so friendly and welcoming every time we enter, such a great community feel. Many staff have been working there for many years with minimal turnover of staff. My child is now in the kinder room and they run a great program with lots of fun excursions to the local hospital, post office, shops, library, reserve and aged care facilities. Location is handy for working parents who work at Monash Medical Centre. Cathy and the team do an amazing job!

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Kanooka! Our son has been attending since she was 1, and over the past 12 months we’ve seen him truly thrive. It’s been so reassuring to know he’s in such a nurturing and supportive environment and even better, he genuinely gets exciting in the days he gets to go to Kanooka. A special thank you to the incredible team in the wombat room Amandeep, Steph, Nadeeka and Cathy. The care, dedication and warmth of the team is felt from the moment you walk in the centre. We’re so grateful to be part of such a wonderful community. Highly recommend Kanooka to all!

The staff and management at this centre have consistently provided dedicated care, nurture and education for my son through play and adventure. The staff are exceptionally kind and attentive, and the centre is responsibly well-managed. We chose this centre due to its high ratings, daily food preparation and serving, and accommodating management. We are very impressed. They also run a great kindergarten curriculum and again the educators do a great job. Highly recommend and if we had another child I’d send them here due to our positive experience. The family events are also great. Cathy and the team do a great job.

It absolutely shows why Kanooka Childcare Centre is exceeding the national quality standards. After sending both my babies here, from infants to 5 1/2 (kinder) the care, attentiveness and warmth you feel inside the centre flows right through to the kids. The same staff caring for my son 2017-2022 are the same people currently caring for my daughter in 2023-current. I have absolute trust in Cathy, Priya, Ivana and the whole team of wonderful of women who staff rooms. Wonderful in house meals, books, toys, arts, crafts, excursions, all inclusive diversity celebrations - I could not consider a better environment for nurturing little hearts, hands and minds.

My son has recently started at Kanooka and we couldn’t be more pleased with our experience so far! The educators went above and beyond to ensure he had settled in before he started attending full days. I am very appreciative that we were given extra orientation time to support my child’s needs. He now comes home with a big smile each day!

I really want to thank you all of them in the centre for looking after sera my child, specially Cathy for giving her a slot to the centre . The teachers Manni, Dunya , Ranni, Michelle for looking after her. I was so happy as a mother to sent her to the centre. I felt so safe while she was there. She became confident and she was so happy while she was in the centre. She made friends. It was like her home. Thank you so much guys,, you are doing amazing job🥰🥰
