First Early Learning - Heywood Grove

We moved both of our kids to First Early Learning almost a year ago, and honestly, we couldn’t be happier. Our eldest is now in the toddler room and our youngest in the baby room, and both are thriving. From day one, Lorinda (the centre manager) and Ali (the assistant manager) have been absolutely amazing. Lorinda took the time to really understand my worries when we were transitioning from our old childcare — she even organised a couple of playdates before our official start so my daughter could slowly get comfortable. She personally called me on my child’s first day just to give an update, which meant so much. That level of care and communication is rare and truly appreciated. Every educator I’ve met has been so warm, nurturing, and genuinely invested in the children. You can tell they love what they do — it really shows in how happy and confident the kids are. The centre itself is always clean and well organised, the food is honestly amazing (my little guy eats better there than at home sometimes!), and the activities are thoughtful and engaging. Communication is transparent, we always feel in the loop, and I love that the team is approachable and responsive. We’re so grateful to have found this place. Moving childcare centres was such a hard decision for us, but it’s turned out to be one of the best choices we’ve made for our kids. Highly, highly recommend First Early Learning.
