Only About Children Moonee Ponds

Normal Hours

I've had 2 children go through this centre across a period of 8 years. I could not rate this centre more highly. All of the educators I have come across during my time there have been nothing short of fabulous. They love what they do and are beautiful with the children. The centre manager Carmel has been amazing to deal with. Nothing has ever been too hard. She is an incredible representative of the centre and fabulous with the kids! I've loved my time there, and encourage anyone who is thinking of enrolling their children here to do so. Its brilliant. p.s: contrary to another review I have found the food here to be fresh and amazing. I wish my kids ate as well as they do here at home!

My child and I have thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Moonee Ponds Early Learning Centre. My daughter was always greeted with smiling faces and exposed to a nurturing and fun loving environment. Management was always supportive and flexible of our needs.

We have had a very positive experience with MPELC. My son has been attending for a little over a year and loves going to 'school'.
The educators are friendly and very caring, they encourage the development of my son's individual interests and skills.
Communication from the admin team has been great, the whole centre seems to have a very team based approach!

Great centre, helpful and experienced staff that are very caring and warm - makes drop offs easy and my son is very happy here. Thanks Carmel Mel and team. Highly recommended!

IF I COULD RATE THIS CENTRE A ZERO I WOULD. BUT UNFORTUNATELY I HAVE TO GIVE AT LEAST 1 STAR...

WHAT PEOPLE HAVEN'T REALSIED WHO HAVE THERE CHILDREN ATTEND TO THIS CENTRE IS THAT MANAGEMENT AND OWNER WANT MORE CHILDREN FOR MORE  $$

ONLY A FEW STAFF HAVE SEEMED GENUINE ABOUT THERE JOB BUT OVERALL AND MANAGMENT DON'T CARE. ALOT OF BUSINESSES THESE DAYS HAVE PEOPLE WHO ARE 2 FACED. ACT OR PRETEND THEY CARE ABOUT MY CHILD BUT REALLY THEY DON'T.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS CENTRE...

THEY ARE CHEAP ON THE FOOD THEY GIVE TO THE CHILDREN
ROOMS ARE ALWAYS DIRTY
CARMEL THE MANAGER HAS BEEN RUDE
MY CHILD DOESN'T LEARN ANYTHING OR DO ANYTHING. JUST LET HIM DO WHAT EVER.

DON'T BOTHER REPLYING TO THIS REVIEW. I'M HAPPY FOR OTHERS TO HEAR MY EXPERIENCE AT THIS CENTRE.

Only About Children Moonee Ponds childcare is a light-filled, warm and welcoming centre, with a range of exciting, resource-rich environments. The campus has a large outdoor area that wraps around the front and side of the building, with two spacious yards available for age-appropriate outdoor learning; there are dedicated spaces for nursery aged children and ample room for adventure and play amongst our toddler and Kinder children.

The outdoor area includes a bike track, a large climbing area situated over soft fall, entertaining mud and sand pits, worm farms, compost bins, a refreshing water trough, and large blackboards for children to play and learn.

Additionally, the campus features its own unique sensory garden with a variety of edible plants where children are encouraged to explore and learn. Marie, our on-site professional garden educator, works alongside the educators to revolutionise the relationship children have with their food. The Playground to Plate program teaches children how to grow, prepare and share fresh seasonal food.

At Only About Children Moonee Ponds we get out and about on regular excursions, so we have a great connection with the surrounding community. We run a Nature Play Program during terms 2 and 3 for kinder age to visit the local park, Napier Park in Strathmore, to build on the children’s interests and learning. The children love these programs and it brings so much joy to everyone involved.

At our Moonee Ponds Early Learning Centre we’ve engaged accredited dietitians to complement your child’s early childhood education with the right nutrition for their growing bodies. Each day, our in-house chefs prepare nutritionally balanced meals using fresh and locally grown ingredients. Our nourishing daily meals are included in enrolment, allowing your child to enjoy seasonal meals.

Our seven age-based custom-designed indoor spaces encourage children to learn and grow, focusing on safety and natural elements that are age-appropriate for all years from babies to school readiness.

Our Moonee Ponds Childcare campus is an environment specifically designed to assist in developing children from ages 0-6, facilitating exploratory and natural play.

You’ll find a team of qualified and passionate Educators at our Moonee Ponds early learning centre, ready to provide a safe, stimulating, happy and nurturing space for your child.
