Astra Early Learning

My visit to Brighton Beach Early Learning Centre - Kindergarten & Long Daycare exceeded all of my expectations. It is so rare to find a place that truly cares about its customers. The team was incredibly knowledgeable and handled everything with such a high level of expertise. They answered all of my questions patiently and made sure I completely understood the process before they started any work. Overall, a flawless 5-star experience. If you are in the area and need a reliable place, do yourself a favour and check them out. You absolutely won't be disappointed!

This childcare was the first and only childcare center we visited when we started searching, and we have zero regrets! The entire team is exceptionally polite, warm, and attentive.
​A huge thank you to Ms. Sally on the management team, who has been really amazingly helpful and supportive with everything our family needs regarding my son, and Ms. Kim, the room lead takes such wonderful care of my son alongside the rest of the incredible educators. They provide regular updates and have been fantastic in supporting his personal development every step of the way.
​On top of that, my son absolutely loves the food! A special mention to Chef Sri for preparing such delicious meals for the children. Knowing my son is in such safe, caring hands gives us complete peace of mind. I highly recommend Happy Valley to any family!

Happy Valley has been such a positive experience for our family. Our son has been going since he was just six months old, and we’ve been happy with his care from the beginning. It means so much to see him happy when we drop him off. A big thank you to all the wonderful staff!

I cannot recommend Astra Early Learning Narre Warren South any more than I already do. They are absolutely incredible and I trust no other centre with my three kids. So much so that we’ve moved suburbs and still travel to keep them at Astra.

Thankyou for giving our kids the attention and nurturing they need to thrive.

We are extremely happy with Happy Valley Early Learning Centre. The centre is always very clean, well organised, and creates a warm and welcoming environment for children.

One thing we really appreciate is that each age group has enough children enrolled, so classes do not need to be combined with other age groups, which happens in some other childcare centres. Our daughter is in a room with many children her own age, giving her plenty of opportunities to play, socialise, and learn alongside her peers.

The meals provided are also very good, with a variety of nutritious and appealing options for the children.

Overall, we are very, very satisfied with Happy Valley. It has been a wonderful experience for our daughter, and we highly recommend it to other families looking for a caring, clean, and well-organised childcare centre.

We had such a wonderful experience at Astra Early Learning Centre with our son Cooper, who just finished there last week as our family had to move. We are genuinely so sad to leave because if we were staying in the area, we absolutely would have continued with the centre. The centre is always very clean, tidy, and well organised, which made us feel comfortable and confident from the beginning. The teachers are warm, kind, genuine, and truly care about the children’s wellbeing and development. Communication with families is spot on — we were always kept informed and felt very supported. One thing we absolutely loved was that every time we dropped Cooper off, there was always a teacher there to warmly greet him and take him in to join the other children. For us, that was so special because it made drop-offs so easy and comforting, and we could clearly see how included and welcomed Cooper felt every single day. What really stood out was how inclusive the centre is and how much effort they put into creating a welcoming environment for every child. There are so many structured activities for the kids including sports, language, music, and art, which kept Cooper engaged and excited to learn. The facilities are also fully equipped and provide a great learning environment. The food they serve the children is also amazing — so much variety, different flavours, and healthy options. It was lovely seeing the effort put into introducing the kids to a wide range of foods and meals. A special mention to teacher Shagufta, who is absolutely superb — kind, warm, caring, and so professional. Also thank you to Rashmi, who is always so friendly and welcoming. We highly recommend Astra Early Learning Centre to any family looking for a caring, supportive, and nurturing early learning environment.

Happy Vally is a wonderfully place to little ones. My son started at Koala room at 8 months old & has been cared so good by Arian & other educators. Now he’s been there for a year and transferred to Turtle room with Kim. He is happy everyday and learns new things so quick. Highly recommended.

Happy valley is by far the most beautiful daycare I have sent my children to. They team there are wonderful and the standard of care and service is above all others. Ari is the baby room is the baby whisperer. She is an exceptional carer and my son adores her. Sally the centre manager is genuine and caring. I would recommend happy valley to anyone

I’d like to share my very positive experience with Happy Valley Early Learning. My baby started at the childcare at just 10 months old, and in only one month I can already see an incredible improvement in her development. She’s become much more confident, is more comfortable in the environment, and it’s clear how much she enjoys being there. Being around other babies her age has really helped her develop new skills and interact more. I’d also like to highlight the care and kindness of Arian and the entire Happy Valley team. I always feel at ease knowing my baby is being very well looked after in such a warm and safe environment.

I’ve had the pleasure of working regularly with this centre, running weekly music incursions, and it’s such a positive, welcoming environment every time I visit. The staff are consistently warm, thoughtful, and genuinely attentive to both the children and their families. There’s a real sense of care in the way they interact, and it’s clear the team has been very intentionally chosen — that consistency really shows. The children are happy, settled, and feel safe, which is always the best indicator of a great early learning environment. While some of the rooms are on the smaller side, the space is used thoughtfully and effectively to support the children’s learning and play. From both a professional perspective and as a parent, I would feel very confident knowing a child was in such a caring and secure place.
