Both my children have been attending First Early Learning for close to 2 years and love it! They run in each morning excited to see their carers and friends. Being a smaller centre the children don’t get lost among the crowd and the carers make every effort to get to know each child individually. The extra curriculum they do is great from sport incursions to music and with my daughter attending 4 year old Kinder this year she looks forward to alternating weeks of swimming and bush kinder! Keeping up to date throughout the day/week is also a breeze with Storypark, I can see what has been happening and it also helps to spark conversations at family dinner time. The kids love looking through the photos and pointing out there friends or telling us about an activity they were doing. I couldn’t recommend this centre more highly, having a safe learning environment for your children when you are working is so important and at First they tick the boxes ☺️ Read more

Absolutely thrilled to share my positive experience with FiRST! From day one, it was evident that this centre goes above and beyond in providing an enriching environment for children. The variety of extra-curricular activities offered, from swimming lessons to bush kindy adventures, ensures that children not only learn but also explore and grow in diverse ways. What truly sets First apart is their commitment to fostering community ties. Regular trips to the local library and well-established relationships with nearby schools demonstrate their dedication to holistic child development. It's heartwarming to see how they integrate learning with real-world experiences, preparing our little ones for a bright future. The staff at First are exceptional, always attentive, caring, and nurturing. Their passion for early childhood education shines through in everything they do, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere where children feel safe, valued, and encouraged to thrive. First daycare centre is more than just a childcare facility; it's a community where children are inspired to learn, explore, and build meaningful connections. Highly recommend! Oh! There’s also a coffee station for the parents at drop off! Read more
