We absolutely love our daycare and couldn't recommend it more highly. The educators are warm, welcoming, and genuinely care about our two boys. They know them so well, always sharing detailed updates about their day and tailoring their approach to help each child feel confident, happy, and challenged in the right ways.<br>It's the little things that make them so special—from washing lunch boxes we'd accidentally left behind to saying hello in the street and lending a hand when we're juggling bikes and busy mornings.<br>We feel incredibly lucky to have our boys in such caring, capable hands.

Hunt Community ELC has been a constant in our families lives for 8 years. Our three children have attended the centre since 2018.<br><br>Hunt has given our children consistently an incredible foundation of security, inclusion, warmth and happiness as they have each grown and developed over their pre school years.<br><br>The grounds, the nature based outdoor play area is the most wonderful environment. It allows the children space for free moment and play. The staff at Hunt are warm, welcoming and caring. Our family have been lucky enough to have educators that have guided and cared for all 3 of our children over our 8 years.

We couldn’t speak more highly of Hunt ELC. Our son started here when he was two years old and is now thriving in the kindergarten program. The educators are exceptional—warm, nurturing, professional and genuinely invested in each child’s wellbeing and development. The learning experiences are engaging and thoughtful, and the beautiful outdoor spaces provide endless opportunities for exploration and play. What truly sets Hunt apart is its wonderful sense of community. It feels like an extension of our family, and we have always felt supported and welcomed. We are so grateful for the care, connection and confidence Hunt has given our son over the years and would highly recommend it to any family looking for a nurturing and high-quality early learning environment.

A lovely community run childcare and kindergarten. The staff are warm and friendly and do an amazing job looking after the children. Additionally they provide so many wonderful learning opportunities and experiences for them. The funded kindergarten program is run expertly by several fully qualified teachers with supporting staff who are also currently completing their teaching qualification. They collectively do a fabulous job developing numeracy and literacy and getting the children school ready. The outside play spaces are huge and well loved by the children!
