Our Centre Reviews
The rooms are set up so beautifully, with a warm, homely feel that makes it such a calm and inviting environment. You can really see the care and intention behind each space it encourages creativity, independence, and a sense of belonging. The educators are kind, attentive, and genuinely invested in the children’s wellbeing and development. Our daughter absolutely loves it here and we feel so comfortable knowing she’s in such a nurturing environment every day.
We’re incredibly grateful to the team and would highly recommend Meraki Early Learning to any families looking for a thoughtful, high-quality childcare centre.
The best thing about this centre is that it feels like the staff really get to know your child and can understand their needs so well. It is so reassuring to walk in and be greeted by name and on pickup be told all about how your child is going and developing. The genuine care is obvious and I know my child is in safe hands
The spaces are well though out & not overcrowded, you can tell a lot of love & care has gone into the layout & it really shows.
The educators are exceptional: genuinely caring, attentive, and deeply invested in each child’s development. It’s so reassuring to know she’s supported by a team that truly knows her, encourages her confidence, and nurtures her curiosity.
The facilities and amenities are fantastic. Beautifully set up, thoughtfully designed, and always engaging. The outdoor play area is huge, giving the kids plenty of space to explore, be active, and enjoy time outside. The range and quality of resources available to the children are second to none, and it’s clear how much intention goes into creating enriching learning experiences.
Communication with families is excellent, the environment feels warm and welcoming, and there’s a real sense of community. We feel incredibly lucky to be part of Meraki ELC Bayswater and would highly recommend it to any family looking for a centre that genuinely goes above and beyond.
From the moment we walked through the doors we were treated with an insane amount of kindness from every single staff member in the centre!
With having previously hard experiences at other daycares my son wouldn’t settle at drops offs and would always cry since he started at Meraki he has not cried at 1 single drop off and he is a completely different kid!
We honestly can’t thank Naomi, Jason and the beautiful girls enough for taking such good care of our son and for always going above and beyond with us and him!
We highly recommend any and all family’s to come and tour the centre for your little ones and reap the benefits of this beautifully ran centre!
The educators are warm, welcoming, and take time getting to know each child.
My kids look forward to coming each day, and as a parent, that means everything.
Highly recommend!
The staff here are simply outstanding—professional, warm, and truly nurturing. They are clearly committed educators who create a wonderful, safe environment where my child thrives and is excited to learn every day.
The facilities are equally fantastic. The rooms are brightly styled, utilizing natural light and materials to create calm, stimulating spaces. The outdoor yards are superb, offering diverse areas for play and development.
If you are looking for exceptional care in a beautifully designed setting, this is the place. Highly recommended!
