We have had a wonderful experience at Mini Miners with all of our children. The educators are warm, caring and genuinely take the time to know each child as an individual, creating a safe and welcoming environment where they can thrive.<br><br>The communication with families is fantastic, the learning experiences are engaging, and it’s been amazing to watch our children’s confidence and independence grow. We are incredibly grateful for the care and dedication of the entire team and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mini Miners to other families.

We have had such a wonderful experience with Jemma and her amazing team at this centre. The educators are caring, patient, and genuinely invested in each child's growth and wellbeing. They create such a warm, welcoming environment where children feel safe, valued, and excited to learn. It truly feels like leaving my child with family, which gives me so much peace of mind. The low staff turnover also speaks volumes about the positive culture and consistency of care, which has been so important for my child.<br><br>The activities are engaging, age-appropriate, and encourage creativity, confidence, and independence. It's clear how much thought and effort goes into supporting each child's development while making learning fun. Chef Hannah is also a fantastic, happy presence at drop-offs, always greeting everyone with warmth and positivity, which makes mornings that much easier.<br>One of our favourite features is the paddock block. It gives the children such a special opportunity to connect with nature, learn about caring for animals, and experience hands-on learning that you don't often find in early childhood settings. It encourages curiosity, responsibility, and a real appreciation for the outdoors.<br>Communication with our family has been excellent, and it's so reassuring to know my child is in such capable and compassionate hands. I am incredibly grateful for everything the team does and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this centre to other families looking for a nurturing, high-quality early learning environment.

Our two daughters attend daycare and one of them is also in the 3 year old kinder program at Mini Miners. We started there when it first opened and have absolutely loved our time there. Our daughters are well looked after, the programs for both daycare and kinder is exactly what we hoped for. They both love going there everyday. Highly recommend.

My daughter has been attending this centre for the past two years, and we have had a wonderful experience. Her educators have always been absolutely lovely and genuinely seem to care about her wellbeing and development.<br><br>Any minor concerns I have had have been addressed promptly and professionally. While the centre doesn't post frequent updates through the app, the educators are always happy to chat about my daughter's day at pick-up, which I really appreciate.<br><br>Most importantly, my daughter is very happy at the centre and looks forward to going every day. She seems to know every staff members name and feels very much at home. I would happily recommend this centre to other families.

Mini miners is an amazing daycare! Our little girl loves going in each day to see her educators and friends. The staff are so lovely, caring and have hearts of gold.<br>I can go to work and I know my daughter is safe and happy!

Mini Miners is such an amazing centre. We have been going here for 18 months so far, staff are so kind and caring and go above and beyond. A lot of thought and consideration goes into to everything they do. My son loves visiting the farm to feed the chickens and check the veggie patch. Highly recommend.

Both my children have had great experiences at Mini Miners ELC - staff are always welcoming & helpful! Would recommend it to anyone wanting to send their children to an ELC around Ballarat.

Both of my children attended here from the start and the whole team were amazing. They made the centre feel like a second home for the children. Such beautiful staff and rooms. The Farm was a nice extra curricula which they loved. I highly recommend Jemma and the team at Mini Miners.

My niece and nephew go here and love it. It’s an amazing centre. Highly recommend.
