Love this centre! My 18month and 3 year old have transitioned seamlessly thanks to the amazing staff. They are so kind and caring and the kids have such fun. Lots of fun activities to keep them busy and engaged. Plus the facilities are great, decent outside space, seperate nap room and always clean and tidy. It’s also a very calm environment which is so important for little ones. Can’t recommend it highly enough!

We are so grateful to The Y Ellerslie Early Learning Centre and the caring, supportive team. The creative activities and crafts set up each day are always a highlight, and the location within Michaels Ave Reserve provides wonderful opportunities to explore, play outdoors and engage with nature. The staff are warm, nurturing, and truly invested in each child’s development, while fostering a lovely sense of community among families.

We do NOT regret moving our daughter to the Y's early learning centre. She was able to transition smoothly because of the wonderful love and care the teachers have put in. They are thoughtful and always have various ideas on how to enrich each child's experience when with them. They communicate kindly with the children, and worked well with us especially with reaching some of our daughter's growing milestones.

The space and environment created for the children is wonderful and sufficient. It is small and cosy but allows for specialist play with areas that allow the children to wander through and discover. It is clean and managed well through out the day.

We have enjoyed learning from our daughter her experiences from exercises with the GoldFilt class in the Y to biking around the reserve. She enjoys the various costumes and outfits she gets to wear during the school holiday program they run.

Overall, we are having a great experience with the Y Ellerslie ELC, and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for an ECE facility to move into.
