My son has been attending Buckets ELC Hughesdale for over 4 months now. Wow what a difference sending him to a centre that takes an individualised and inclusive approach has made. Erin the centre director, Laura the kinder teacher and all of the educators have made him feel so safe and welcome. The centre is beautiful with the outdoor areas available for the children to go in and out all day as they please. I couldn’t recommend Buckets enough and we are so glad that we have moved to this centre.

Fantastic daycare! We sent our child to Buckets ELC as our first daycare for the last two years across several rooms and are only leaving as unfortunately we moved away. Erin does an amazing job managing the centre and all the educators are so wonderful and caring. Our child has been safe and nurtured from the start and she often comes home describing the many wonderful things she has learnt and done during the day. Buckets ELC also have several activities a week such as sport, yoga and dance as well as 'out and abouts' quite frequently which are great experiences and not something all daycare's offer. They also provide summative assessments of the kids throughout the year and are supportive of routines and toilet training. Overall we wholeheartedly recommend Bucket's ELC to other parents as a amazing place to send your children!

We have been so happy with Buckets. My four yr old recently asked for a chat about daycare and told me "Mummy I love Buckets! I love my teachers, I love my friends, can I go more days?". We have been impressed with teachers, support staff and especially the centre director for her care of the children and genuine support to families dealing with every day parenting as well as health and development challenges.

We are so impressed with the team at buckets for providing our son with a safe and nurturing environment. The consistent communication and updates on his daily activities has been invaluable. It's wonderful to see him thrive, learn new skills, and develop with such positive experiences and encouraging people. Thank you to all the staff/family.

My three year old son started at Buckets Hughesdale 6 weeks ago and we have been beyond impressed! There was an incident at the last centre and we needed to find a new centre very quickly! Erin, Laura and the entire team were so incredibly helpful and supportive in making the transition as easy as possible! I looked at 7 centres and this was the centre my son looked most comfortable at. They let the kids be kids and approach to each child is based on their individual needs/personality. When I pick him up he rarely wants to leave as he’s too busy playing in the sand, water or spinning around in these giant spinning buckets (they are super safe). We couldn’t be happier and are so thankful that we’ve found this beautiful little centre!

I can't recommend Buckets ELC Hughesdale highly enough. In fact, there are previous relationships I feel less strongly about than this centre. We are so happy here and leave our child in the care of everyone with complete confidence. Our child looks forward to attending every day. The staff are experienced and caring, and always have our child's joy and development in mind. Being a new parent is daunting and the kindness shown to us has been so comforting and helpful. Their warmth and guidance has made us better parents. The rooms are beautiful, safe, clean and designed to bring out the best in children. The centre is managed expertly and we have appreciated all the guidance that has come our way on any number of questions. We are so glad we found Buckets ELC Hughesdale and I strongly urge any parent thinking about touring to do so.

This place is the next best thing to our home. The educators are so warm and friendly, the food is amazing and the staff are so courteous and amazing. This centre has taught my son so much in such a short period of time. No wonder their waitlist is long! But trust me, it's worth the wait. They followed my son's sleep routine, eating patterns and all his little quirks. Truly amazing place. Thank you, team Purple and buckets!

We started with Buckets Hughesdale on the 25th of March 2024, already his vocabulary and personality have both taken a massive improvement! He’s barely four and he knows the acknowledgment of country off by heart, which definitely caught me off guard. I would recommend them any day, he loves going there, the atmosphere, and he learns something new each day! Erin, you have an amazing team ❤️ keep up the good work!

I attended Buckets ELC to complete the placement for my masters as a student. I couldn’t be more grateful for the opportunity and the support that they gave me to develop my skills in many ways. The staff is really great and humble! Best centre I’ve attended for placement!
