Ashfield Early Learning Centre 10 Norton Street, Ashfield, New South Wales 2131

"We've been with AELC for a few years, and we really like it. We love the educators for their genuine care and appreciate the ongoing updates and how much they notice about our children. Our first child started in the baby room 3 years ago and our second child also started attending AELC recently. All the educators that looked after our first child are still with AELC and most are now caring for our second child. The low staff turnover is a testament to the positive internal culture of AELC and a great source of comfort for us as parents to have such continuity of care. We also appreciate that the centre is not too large (the educators and kids all know each other) and that it is located next to a park in an airy, light filled building."

"My 14 month old loves the educators at AELC. He started at 10 months and his language and social skills have thrived. The staff are excellent, nurturing and kind and go above and beyond. Every day I drop my son off I feel relaxed knowing he’s in safe, loving, capable hands."

"Highly recommended childcare. My daughter started there from baby room, and has been there for almost two years. Now she cannot wait to transit into the preschool room with her friends made there. A few good points about this one are, 1, educators are always patient with little ones and easy to approach to discuss parents' concerns. 2, there are both female and male educators, which I believe is vital to little one's personality growth. 3, the facility is nice and clean. Also I can see their equipments have been updated recently. 4, I have seen many parents brought their second one in to join their siblings, which it is a good sigh for us."

"Our child went here from 10 months old to 2.5 years ( we moved out of the area so had to take her out). We were so sad on her last day because AELC has truly become an extended family for our little girl. She was treated with so much love and care and each educator, even the ones in different rooms, really got to know her. She is vegan, and they always made the effort to create nutritious meals for her that she always ate. She was given the opportunity to participate in so many interesting and fun and educational activities that we like to credit daycare to creating such a chatty, smart toddler with an eagerness to join in on everything around her. From a baby to a toddler, everyone at AELC really helped give our girl a fantastic start to her childhood. We will miss everyone there and wish we could have brought the centre with us to our new home!"

"My son was in the baby room almost one year. All educators there are wonderful, they care babies from their heart. Next month my son will be in the toddler room because he turns to age 2. The centre offers transition to the little one to help him to be familiar with new environment. That's would be really helpful. I feel my son is happy in the centre and he learnt and grew up much through the year. I have to give 5 star to the centre. All educators in the centre always have warm smiles to both parents and kids."
