As my three-year-old moves on to kindergarten, I feel incredibly grateful for the calm, nurturing foundation this centre has provided. From the moment you step through the gates, there is a genuine sense of peace. The environment feels unhurried and thoughtful, and the children are visibly settled, secure, and happy. The grounds are beautiful and inviting, offering a natural, gentle space where children can explore, play, and feel at ease. What truly sets Epsom Community Crèche apart is the teaching team. The teachers are quite simply 10/10 — warm, intuitive, deeply caring, and highly skilled. They create a strong sense of belonging for both children and parents, and they understand exactly how to support young children as they take their first steps into learning outside the home. I cannot imagine a better place for a child to begin. Epsom Community Crèche is a special, rare environment, and I recommend it wholeheartedly to any family looking for a peaceful, secure, and enriching start for their child. ### null review (5/5) Epsom Crèche is a fantastic hidden gem that we wished we had found earlier, but so glad when we did! Our son started when he was two, and he absolutely loved attending every time and adorns his teachers. I was struck by how well settled all the children were on our first visit (and at our every attendance), and it has become a very special, happy place for us. The teachers and the team at Crèche are wonderful people, professional and allowing a fine mix of space for independence guided with care, love and patience. A good balance of structured time and free play, I feel Epsom Crèche has made a significant impact on our son’s developments as a toddler and setting up a first positive step into school routine. The teacher student ratio is an additional advantage, allowing more one on one time with each child. The teachers are open minded and attentive to each child’s personalities. We really appreciate the life philosophies of each individual teacher; the kind words and wisdom they give to the children, (in my opinion) especially important for this young age group. It is not only just the essential skills they teach but also important values and as a community. Cannot highly recommend this special team enough! ### null review (5/5) Epsom Community Crèche was the perfect start for my child. From day 1 I could tell my child felt safe in the care of the amazing teachers and the smaller role size meant that she was getting the attention I wished for her, especially as a 2y/o that had not been in any care before. Epsom Community Crèche is an absolute diamond in the sea of early childhood centres. It provided meaningful learning experiences, a welcoming community, dedicated, approachable and fun teachers and best entrance into education for my child.
