Testimonials

When choosing a childcare centre you want to feel that your child is safe, cared for and happy. I can proudly say that my daughter is all three. She loves her time at EWCC co-op and has learned so much and made many little friends in her six months there.

The centre is very tranquil in beautiful surrounds with the bonus of not being on a main road. The educators are lovely, caring and genuinely interested in the children, which is evident in how much my daughter talks about them. As a parent, they truly put my mind at ease, especially in the first few weeks when I was encouraged to call as many times a day as I needed.

Having joined the committee of management, it is even more evident that the centre is well run and the needs of the children are paramount.

We could not be happier and look forward to many more years.

We currently have two sons at Eltham Woods Childcare and have been involved with the centre for close to 3 years.

As parents we couldn’t ask for anything more for our children and we have the confidence and assurance that they are in great care plus having a fantastic fun time! Our 4 year old son asks everyday if he is going to childcare today and if he could he would! He loves his teachers, his friends and he thrives on the constant learning that Eltham Woods provides him.

I would recommend Eltham Woods as a childcare centre to anyone. The teachers and staff are wonderful, it is a centre that treats your child with respect, love and provides them with a great place to learn and grow as individuals.

Thankyou Eltham Woods!

We feel very lucky to have found a place at Eltham Woods for our two daughters, who have attended this outstanding Centre for the last few years.

The staff are highly professional, caring and friendly and we feel confident and happy knowing that our girls enjoy their time here. I appreciate the time the staff spend providing feedback on how the children's day has been and they take a genuine interest in their progress. The outdoor area has been beautifully designed to help stimulate the children's imagination and sense of discovery. The indoor activities are also well-planned, interesting and age-appropriate. Special activities or 'incursions' organised such as the tooth-fairy or 'reptile man' visits are also enjoyed by the kids.

A big thank you to all the staff for providing such a wonderful experience for our children and generating a real sense of community for families.

My second child is about to finish up at Eltham Woods, ending our family's 5 year involvement with the centre.

We chose Eltham Woods initially because I was impressed with the low staff turnover (several educators have been there for over 10 years, which is extremely unusual in the childcare sector), I loved the quiet bush setting, and because I was keen to be part of a community-based centre.

I joined the committee of management, which not only gave me the chance to be really involved with the doings of the centre, but was responsible for a couple of really good friendships too.

Over the last 5 years I have seen Eltham Woods go from strength to strength. It is a well-managed, well-resourced and most importantly, a fun place to be. It has honestly been a second home to my two boys, and I have no hesitation in recommending it.

We joined Eltham Woods late in our child's early learning journey, and we truly wish we had been part of this wonderful childcare and preschool from the beginning.

Eltham Woods provides a nurturing and warm environment that caters to young minds and playful personalities. The exceptional educational program is a privilege for our son, and we greatly appreciate Aprille's tireless dedication.

Our daily interactions with Chef Annie, who pours love and care into every meal, have become a cherished routine. The educators and caregivers' authentic energy and dedication are contagious, and as parents, we've even learned new things through our son's experiences. We couldn't be happier with our choice of childcare and preschool provider and we know we’ll be sad to move onto big school.

Thanks for being playing an important role in our sons story and our life.

We feel incredibly fortunate to have been part of the Eltham Woods community for over three years. Our two children have thrived in this loving and supportive environment, nestled in a beautiful bush setting that provides a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

The dedicated educators have built strong relationships with both our children and our family. Their hard work, caring nature, and open communication have made us feel valued and supported every step of the way. The centre’s play-based and interest-based approach to learning has allowed our children to explore their passions and interests while participating in amazing programming and activities.

We wholeheartedly recommend Eltham Woods to everyone. Aprille's hard work and unwavering support are just the icing on the cake of an already outstanding childcare centre. Thank you for creating such a wonderful place for our children to learn, grow, and thrive.

Our daughter recently joined Eltham Woods and looks like she is having a nice time when we pick her up. Lots of the staff in her room and across the centre are very sweet, offering a warm environment, even calling us sometimes to say everything went well after we left from a more difficult drop off.

There is a strong focus on educational development and the staff are always happy to accommodate individual routines and offer kind words of support/advice to parents.

From the moment we enrolled our first two children at EWCC, we have been consistently impressed with the exceptional care and support provided by their dedicated staff.

EWCC creates a warm and nurturing environment that values the well-being and development of each child. The staff members are not only highly qualified but also genuinely caring, forming strong bonds with the children and ensuring they feel safe and loved.

What sets Eltham Woods apart is their commitment to open communication. The staff keeps parents well-informed about their child’s progress and milestones, ensuring a collaborative approach to early childhood development.
