Explore & Develop Castlereagh St, Sydney - Early Learning Centre

"Highly recommended! Our now 2 year old was enrolled here for about 1.5 year and absolutely thrived. As an anxious new mum I fell in love with the large, bright spaces, and with the open and transparent communication. The educators have been outstanding and frankly unmatched in the energy they bring to the room. I've gradually watched my little one come out of his shell at E&D, singing and dancing in between running around with the many trucks. Everyone at the center always knew my boy by name, and was able to comment on his day and progress - something I found very reassuring. With a little sibling underway we've now made the difficult decision to enroll our son closer to home. He has adjusted beautifully to his new daycare - something I credit to the confidence and trust he's built at E&D. We miss the centre very much and wish you all nothing but the best!"

"We used Explore and Develop for our daughter and she found a great connection with her teachers. The convenience of being able to work late at the office and it’s close proximity was a god send. Would recommend to anybody looking for care."

"Our daughter Hazel attended E&D for a couple of years and she absolutely loved it! The educators are lovely and go out of their way to ensure all of the children (and parents) feel part of the E&D family. A special mention to Paul, who owns and operates the centre, it really makes a huge difference having someone who truly cares about the children first and foremost, run the show! We cannot forget one evening when Hazel was the last one to be picked up and Paul was there playing with her, pretending to be a horse, full on hands and knees on the floor…. Thank you Paul and team for the past couple of years and for the lifetime of fond memories. You guys are truly amazing and we can never thank you enough. We highly recommend this centre to anyone looking for a caring, fun and supportive environment for their young children."

"After being recommended by a fellow parent - we've had both our daughters at E&D in the Waratah room and cannot recommend the centre and the staff enough! Both experiences have been great with different groups of staff. Our daughters have thrived during their time here. No hesitations to recommend the team and the centre director Paul."

"We had 3 kids attending E&D Castlereagh and they all loved it. The facilities are great, the centre is spacious, activites are varied and there is a good balance between play and learning. The staff are professional and caring. Our boys developed really close bonds with their educators, making drop-offs a lot easier. The centre has a real community feel and we were so sad to leave! Also, the app used for sharing stories and photos is fantastic, much better than some we've used elsewhere."
