Avenues Early Learning Centre Paddington

We are a local family with two kids who have attended Avenues in Paddington since it opened 5.5 years ago. The facilities are great, the building is nice and secure, and the on-site kitchen provides the kids with healthy food. Both my wife and I have busy jobs and access to long day care (even for the kindy class) is so important. As busy parents, we recognise that day care is a massive part of our kids' life and like their family. We are very grateful. From a background in health care, I can say the centre approached the challenges to COVID in a reasonable and professional matter. They remained open throughout, but maintained additional precautions to keep the kids and staff as safe as possible. It hasn't been easy for our youngest who has a developmental delay, but the educators and management staff have worked with us and helped with inclusion support and strategies to assist. Speaking to parents with special needs in other centres, they have not always received as much support. The staff turnover has been relatively low, which is really important for consistency for the kids. Our youngest child has been fortunate that his favourite educator has been with him going into the third year now. This is probably unusual for most places, but has helped him immensely. We are very happy with Paddington Avenues.
