We have been attending EBCCC for over 3 years now and have had a wonderful experience. All the staff are passionate about caring for children, and the center has a very low staff turnover meaning they know all the children exceptionally well. The outdoor space is huge, with two sandpits and multiple play spaces, allowing for lots of exploring and nature play. The children are outside as much as possible which our kids love! Being a smaller, community childcare also means we have met lots of other local families, and our children have made wonderful friendships that continue outside of childcare. We highly recommend EBCCC!

Both my girls attend this daycare and absolutely love it. The staff are knowledgeable, warm and friendly and due to the small size of the centre, my girls have been able to developed special bonds with them. Activities, which also include incursions and excursions are switched up regularly to keep them engaged. The centre really does have a community feel and it’s nice to see them my girls so comfortable in the environment.

Such a beautiful childcare centre. The educators across all the rooms are so caring, and my little girl developed some great relationships with so many. Loved the large outdoor area and the family feel which is why we chose it over so many others at the beginning.

I was recommended this centre by a few local families who’d been there for a number of years and I was not disappointed! The centre is small and feels very much like a little community. My two sons now attend and love it! The educators are so warm and loving, everyone knows all of the kids by name and the care they receive every day is wonderful. The centre has a beautiful natural outdoor space which all the children enjoy year long. We’ve met some wonderful families and are so grateful we have a centre like this local to us.

EBCCC is a fantastic centre! My daughter attends the centre and we couldn't be happier with the quality of care, learning and experience. The educators are amazing, enjoy their job and truly care for the children, which is reflective of the extremely low staff turnover. The centre has such a warm and loving atmosphere with delicious freshly cooked meals. Highly recommend!

Our son has been attending the centre during this most difficult of years and as an early childhood educator myself I could not recommend EBCCC more. The staff are experienced, kind and promote a real sense of belonging. The program is very educational and encourages the exploration of the amazing indoor and outdoor environment with interesting and fun learning experiences. My son considers his teachers to be his friends and his social and emotional development has been nurtured. The educators are warm, caring and have a great approach with honest and open communication. It doesn’t matter who is working in the room with the children, all the educators know the children’s needs and interests and make a real effort to build beautiful relationships with the children and families. A high quality service and a great part of our community.

EBCCC was exactly the centre I was looking for! Familiar, warm and the ideal classroom size. The teachers are so warm and they all know your child, even if they are not in their room. They have exceeded my expectations in every way, I could not recommend them more.

My bub started childcare at 7 months. I went to around 6 Centres before I found EBCC. I just felt instantly comfortable and totally confident that the centre is of a very high quality and the staff are great. My baby is in the Gumnut room and is looked after by Haley and Sruti who my bub loves! She has so much fun there and gets excited and smiles when I drop her off. No tears and no anxiety at all from me or her! I have been particularly impressed with how the COVID restrictions and safety have been managed by the manager Emma. Big thanks to the team for staying open and enabling my baby to continue to attend even during stage 4! Highly recommend EBCC to anyone wanting a childcare with a community and family feel where they can be confident that their bub will receive the best care.

Amazing, warm, caring, educated open and honest are just some of the words I use to describe East Bentleigh child care centre. My two children have both attended as babies and both their development has been remarkable. My son is now achieving goals above for his age. I put this down to his teachers at childcare and now school for building his self confidence and allowing him to develop his sense of self. Great work Ebcc you are all amazing !!!

Not a good experience we had. Some of the staff is fine, some just lack of experience. Not recommended to other parents.
