We’ve had such a wonderful experience at Explore & Develop Brookvale under the care of Charlene and Tegan. From the very beginning, the team (or family is a better word really!) created such a nurturing, thoughtful, and joyful environment for our daughter from 1 year to 4 years. She absolutely thrived under the care of her educators, forming strong bonds with both staff and her little friends. Every day she came home happy, confident, and full of stories about what she’d learned and who she’d played with. As parents, we felt completely at ease knowing she was in such caring and capable hands. The educators at E&D Brookvale go above and beyond to create a space that truly supports children’s growth, learning, and wellbeing. We’ll always remember E&D as a very special part of Daisy’s early years. We can’t thank the team enough and would wholeheartedly recommend the centre to any family looking for a warm and enriching early childhood experience.
Response from the owner21 days agoFrom the very beginning, your family has felt like such a natural part of our community sharing not only our values and holistic approach, but also connecting on a deeper level through spirituality and the power of kind, affirming words. Every time you walk through our doors, you bring a calm kindness and a bright, uplifting energy — even on the days you may not feel it yourself. Your presence reminds us of the good in people. You’ve always treated our educators with such genuine respect and care, especially at a time when so many in this profession are questioning their worth. That means more than we can ever fully express. Your family has brought warmth, trust, and authenticity into our space. Families like yours are the reason Explore & Develop Brookvale is more than just a centre — it’s a community built on real connection and love. Thank you for trusting us with Daisy’s precious early years. It’s been an absolute honour to walk alongside you during this chapter. Charlene
