We’ve had such a wonderful experience with Meraki Early Learning Centre. The centre truly embraces a child-led approach, allowing each child to explore their interests and learn at their own pace.
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.

Starting my son at daycare felt so daunting but I couldn’t be happier with our experience at Meraki Bayswater. It feels as though we are treated like a member of a big family and we have felt so welcomed. The managers and educators have been so amazing and have made this transition seamless.

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

We absolutely love Meraki Bayswater! The staff are so kind, caring, and have really taken the time to build a genuine relationship with us and our daughter. She absolutely loves going to Meraki, she has never had any tears when dropping her off, and I know that she is safe and well cared for while she is there. Highly recommend

So glad we decided to move our daughter here, it’s always a bit daunting when taking that first step into a new centre, but from the very beginning we’ve been welcomed with open arms & she has made so many great connections, I knew I had made the right decision, the communication is excellent & I know she’s receiving the best care possible.
The spaces are well though out & not overcrowded, you can tell a lot of love & care has gone into the layout & it really shows.

I couldn’t be happier with Meraki ELC Bayswater. My daughter absolutely loves it here and looks forward to going every day. Which says everything.

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.

Since starting at Meraki elc Bayswater my son has done nothing but absolutely thrive!
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!

Since my children started at Meraki ELC they have absolutely thrived. The room environments are unlike anything I’ve ever seen thoughtfully set up, engaging, and truly designed to support learning and creativity.
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!

​We are absolutely delighted with the new Meraki elc Bayswater.
​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!

My son has started at Meraki ELC and is loving his days there. The Educators are so caring and spend so much time getting to know him and have made him and us feel so welcome and they provide a program that he loves which follows his interests. The centre looks amazing and the yards are just above and beyond. We couldn’t be happier.
