I chose this place because of the cleanliness, the big space and feel of the environment upon visiting & my gut wasn't wrong about this spot. Since bringing my oldest child here, I have had no regrets choosing this daycare. My eldest has enjoyed his classes and teachers every time he has moved up a class & you can see just how loved your kid is every time you drop off and pick them up. I then had my next son join the daycare and the centre has been so accommodating, not to mention the sibling discount + the promo they had running at the time applied (6m half price). The centres staff are very lovely, they are great teachers with great energy & constantly assure me that my kids are safe with them. The big boss is also friendly and I love that he makes an effort to know all his students by name. Overall just a great daycare for my kids, one that allows them to grow, develop their personalities, have fun and make new friends in a safe space. I also LOVE that they have great spacious areas for each age group so that the classes are not bothered by bigger kids and vice versa. I would highly recommend this daycare to all, thanks Happy Learning!

Happy Learning Childcare Center truly feels like a second home for my son. The teachers are not only friendly and helpful, but also compassionate with the kids. They really take the time to understand each child's personality and needs, making sure everyone feels valued and supported.

The food is great - healthy, balanced and delicious which gives me peace of mind knowing my son is being well cared for in every way. I also appreciates how the center keeps open communication with parents, sharing updates and milestones regularly. The activities are always engaging and creative as well.

We're very happy to be part of this amazing community! 💕

Happy Learning Glen Eden has been such a blessing for our family. My eldest daughter attended and absolutely thrived — she transitioned to primary school with confidence and so many happy memories. My son currently attends and is on the spectrum (ASD), and the support he receives has been incredible. His teachers are patient, understanding, and intentional about helping his development. They go above and beyond to create a safe, nurturing environment where he feels calm, included, and supported.

We’ve seen such positive progress in his communication and confidence since joining. The teachers keep us regularly updated through stories and photos via their Storypark app, which helps us feel really involved in his learning and routines.

The centre manager, Sekola, is warm, professional, and genuinely cares about the children and their families. The staff are friendly, approachable, and full of genuine warmth. The centre itself is bright, welcoming, and filled with engaging activities that make learning fun.

Happy Learning really lives up to its name — it’s not just a childcare centre, it’s an extension of family. We’re so grateful for the love and care they’ve shown our kids, and we’ll definitely be enrolling our youngest when the time comes. ❤️
