Must be the best daycare in the Northern Beaches. As the 3rd daycare for my son & 2nd for my daughter we couldn't be happier with Orchard! What sets it apart: 🏡 The space - Is huge. The outdoor area & classrooms. 🎨 The facilities - Modern and practical. A whole art room for creativity. 🧑‍🏫 The staff - All incredible. Very high quality (especially vs other centres). So caring, attentive, lovely & smart! Our kids love them, which is the most important thing! 🧑‍🍳 The food/chefs - Next level. Ana the head chef creates beautiful good for the kids breakfast through to dinner (proper food served at 5) Couldn't rate higher 🤩

I had my child enrolled since they opened. I have just un enrolled. There is a constant change of staff, some days I dropped off not knowing any of the educators and nor my child. On multiple occasions she was left in urine soaked clothes, and no one was aware. On one occasion I picked up and my child had tears streaming down her face from sunscreen being rubbed into the eyes and the educator was just reading them a book, sunscreen in the eyes is a chemical burn and can lead to blindness! I was not called and notified and my child did not receive the proper medical attention at the time. There are some very lovely staff but they constantly change.

We have been overwhelmed with how beautiful the grounds and staff are. Highly recommend.

Our children (1 and 2.5 years old) are having a wonderful time at Orchard ELC Forestville. The setup is truly first class, and their philosophy—centred on the children’s autonomy and love for nature—creates a wonderful environment for the kids. Our eldest has been loving all the learning activities and crafts, along with the outdoor play. Their in-house kitchen and the varied meals are such a great perk to have as well. We are very grateful to their caring staff for providing us with such peace of mind while we spend our days away from our kids.

Our daughter (very little - 7 months) joined Orchard Early Learning Forestville and we could not be happier with the love and care we have been shown by this centre. We went to a number of centres in our search for the best care for our baby, and we got it. Trish, Simone, Emily, Mandy and Ivy and the rest of their terrific team are the best carers we could ever wish for. We truly feel that when we drop off our baby, they step in as the greatest nurturers for our girl. We have two older children as well so our attention to detail is high and this centre gives it in spades. The fun details they provide about the children’s day is so great. It’s a beautiful centre inside and out - it has an incredible outdooor area with so many fun things to do - and the educators are not afraid to get dirty outside and have fun with the kids, which we love for our daughter. Our family would recommend this centre and caring team in a heartbeat ❤️

I couldn’t be happier with Orchard ELC Forestville. The brand new facilities are incredible, but what really sets it apart is the outstanding program and the genuine care each educator shows. My 4yo absolutely adores his educators and talks about them at home like they’re close friends. I have never come across a group of educators that are so caring and kind across the board. The only downside is that we only have the rest of the year before he starts primary school. We’re truly so grateful and happy to be part of the Orchard community.

We couldn't be happier with our child's experience. From the very beginning the entire team have been absolutely fantastic. Their genuine care and attention make a world of difference, and it’s clear they go the extra mile to ensure every child feels safe, nurtured, and happy. Our child loves going every day, and seeing their excitement is the best reassurance that we made the right choice. Highly recommended Orchard.

Our transition to Orchard ELC Forestville has been a dream. Our little one is thriving and I put it down to the amazing educators and fun, engaging activities. The facilities are incredible - we are loving being part of the Orchard community

We recently enrolled our little one here and have been really impressed. The staff are warm, caring, and make us feel confident that our child is in good hands. The centre is new with excellent facilities and modern equipment, creating a bright and inviting environment. Easy parking is also a big plus. We're very happy with our experience so far!
