Reid Early Childhood Centre

We love this daycare so much. They are so caring and care for every child's individual needs so well. My son is quite particular with how he eats and will only be rocked to sleep and needs to be held a lot - which is no issue for them here. When I forget to pack extra clothes for him, they dress him in the spares. They've been able to get him to eat more than I can at home. And everyone is so kind, positive and warm throughout each of the rooms.
We're so glad we chose this centre. I love that it's a not-for-profit place too, as I feel like everyone who works here really cares about their job and the community. Love it!
Special mention to Lynda in the Nursery, my son loves her so much and I'm so grateful for the extra care and attention she gives

My son has been attending the Reid Early Childhood Centre since the beginning of this year and we couldn’t be happier.
They have a huge, wonderful outdoor area, full of trikes, climbing frames, a new mud kitchen and a sandpit full of diggers (the sandpit alone is bigger than the whole outdoor area at his previous daycare). The babies have a separate outdoor area of their own, with age appropriate toys, but the older kids all get a chance to play together outdoors.
Inside there are always a varied selection of educational activities set up for kids to explore in their own time, as well as toys and games. They change them around often, so that the kids are drawn in by something new.
The teachers are all lovely and supportive, especially through what has been a crazy year for everyone. They come up with endless fun activities and crafts, and support kids with different interests.
My older son always wants to go with me to pick my little one up, so that he can check out their toys and see what they’re doing. It’s always something fun!

We are so grateful to have stumbled across this personable, not-for-profit centre. It is by far the best centre we toured (8 in total). No torturous waitlist. With the take away msg “we don’t profit from children’s education” resonating with us. Our son has been there for almost one year, in Nursery and now Tiny Tots. He absolutely loves going 4 days a week. The outdoor yard is the biggest I’ve seen, beautiful views of the lake and black mountain. The educators genuinely care and take a keen interest in each individual child and their individual development. Every day is fun filled and reported on Storypark for parents to see. Every day our son comes home having learnt a new skill, or word. And it’s truly amazing to see the growth. This is a direct result of the care RECC provide.

Other things like drop off and pick up are easy w endless parking and no traffic to contend with. We’re always greeted w a smiling face. The food is wholesome and plentiful. We would like to see more variety in menu and the chef has readily taken on our feedback for improvements. They have a great new mud kitchen, plenty of space to run and play, lots of play equipment and toys inside and out. But best of all, they use simply materials to manufacture real life I.e building a cow for the children to milk using a glove and real milk to squeeze. It reminds me of my childhood. Nothing fancy, just simple and fun.

Couldn’t recommend more highly and I refer my friends/colleagues every chance I get. They’re flexible w enrolments, no set days, holiday periods free. Your baby will feel at home here ❤️

An excellent centre. Community feel. Very little staff turnover, they are attentive and caring, never frazzled, good ratios too. Large outdoor playground, not cramped like some other places.

Excellent centre, carers go above and really build beautiful relationships with the children. Huge outdoor area.
