I had a very complicated and very last minute enrolment and this would have been my third Child Center in another state. They were informative and descriptive and prompt. From the administration to the rooms and educators to the frowns keepers and everyone else I may have missed. This facility offers a place of warmth, care and structure. Oh they even hold parent workshops too! All inclusive. The team at Orchard, you guys rock! My daughter loves this school and the relationships she has formed a has been very beautiful. We are having there little Christmas doo tomorrow and she is very excited and so are we.

Every since the first phone call and first visit, the staff and educators have been warm, caring and supportive. My son has adored coming to this centre and has made many wonderful friends and has grown, developed and been nurtured by the fantastic staff. During COVID the centre was professional and always communicated to parents the process and new changes are they were informed themselves so I never felt as though I need to chase information or worry about safety for my son. The hours are nice and long so very handy for working parents, especially those that need to commute. The centre has a wonderful kitchen and great meals for the children which encourages even the most fussy of eaters plus a great outdoor area which is a huge highlight for us! We love Orchard!!!

They have a very big outdoor area with gardens and some chickens. Educators are very friendly and kind too. They did a good job to keep the centre running during the covid period. And we are well communicated when the centre is impacted due to positive cases. (Things happen) Last but not least, food provided to the kids are cooked fresh and very delicious (i tried some in the centre event and farther's day event). My kid loves centre's food.

The team are caring and engaging, while the centre itself provides lots of different areas for kids to explore and learn what interests them. The team are supportive of the kids and parents, and are always finding ways to improve the experience and learning opportunities for the kids. Dropping off your child at any daycare is always hard, but you know they’re in great hands here.

The staff are like family, and my daughter absolutely loves going each day. They have helped us through a whole range of tricky milestones (toilet training!) and always with a smile! Couldn't recommend higher!

We have two children going to Orchard for the last 18 months, and I am really happy they are in such good hands. The open place spaces, good food and caring staff are all great, and we really appreciate the extra lengths they go do to educate the kids and give them life experiences from a young age, things like visits from experts with animals and nature, yoga classes and dancing. The staff really take the role of educators seriously

Lovely environment, great staff and good systems. My son loves the open outdoor areas for messy play, the chickens, turtles and of course his mates. We shifted him form another childcare in St Ives once this opened as the quality of facilities and the approach to caring couldn't be matched.

I recommend the Orchard Early Learning Centre (St Ives) to anyone with young children. My twin boys have been going there since they were about 9 months old and the team has always been caring towards our little tribe. I honestly never want to leave the area because I wouldn't trust anyone to love and care for my children as much as the team at the Orchard do. We get regular photo and video updates, the food is phenomenal (seriously, they've given up on my peanut butter sandwiches), they keep your children educated, interested and moving up the rooms with their friends, and the team is always helpful and exceptionally responsive. Thank you Orchard ELC - you're the best! xx

My two young kids have been going here for years and we are really happy with the whole experience they’ve been having! They’re learning so much every day and the educators really care about them and treat them beautifully. The food is cooked fresh every day by the on-site chef. Amazing outdoor areas and nature classes. Strongly recommend!
