Explore & Develop Norwest - Early Learning Centre 14 Lexington Drive, Bella Vista, New South Wales 2153

"Most supportive, caring, loving and nurturing environment for a child to flourish. If you are lucky enough to get a spot at this centre do not think twice . My son entered this centre not saying a word as he has speech delay and graduated talking in sentences in the span of 2 years including the lock down covid periods . You will appreciate the impact of this centre and the educators even more once your child starts kindergarten . The staff and educators have super powers , just amazing !!!"

"This was the 1st and only childcare we managed to visit during covid period and after we got our son enrolled in having so much hope that he will enjoy this care facility we were very surprised and sad to see how they treat children in the nursary room upto 2 years. The center manager who is the owner in my view would try to run the facility with the minimum resources available. The level of class room activity and the quality of food offered are in my view very minimal. I often felt sorry for the kids when I went to pick up my son. What was so heartbroken to see is that only about 4 kids taken in for meals in a separate area covered by a fence and a gate that is locked and all the other kids hanging on to the fence waiting for their turn. Once I saw a child crying asking for food and the educator kept on telling it is coming. I don't think a child under 2 years would understand this. After seeing the quality of food provided, the level of class room activities and playing items provided in my son's current care I truly believe that the short period my son attended this facility is a very dark period for him and for us. On the positives this facility is very clean and has a separate sleeping space for the kids. If your child is someone who loves to get into activities in a group setting learning new gross motor skills and enjoys exploring toys more often this facility is not for you."

"Our son was enrolled here for just over a year and it was incredible! The care they provided was incredible. The staff are warm and caring and passionate about what they do and their love for the children is beautiful. They create an environment for children to grow and learn in the most wonderful way. Thankyou to all the educators who looked after our boy, you are truly incredible."

"I enrolled my son in 2017 after an extensive search of local daycares. From my first walk through I felt the centre had a loving and supportive environment. Now in 2021 my son is starting kindergarten so sadly having to say goodbye. The teachers are absolutely fantastic. You can feel the love and care they have towards all the kids. Watching my son developer in the care of their hands was a blessing. You know your child is happy attending when he is excited to arrive each morning and doesn't want to leave at the end of the day, to me that speaks volumes on the teachers and friends made."

"My son has been going here since last year and the carers are the nicest people. They have a genuine love for children and were very accommodating with every little question or request. They even give me advice on pacifiers, bottles, food, toilet readiness, etc. which is always so helpful. The director is lovely and knowledgeable and thorough. Thank you so much for everything you all do."
