Maria and the team have provided a top-notch environment for our children to thrive - we have a 2yo there at the moment, a preschooler who attended for a school holiday, and when our youngest turns 1 she’ll attend the ELC. Forestville ELC is a smaller centre with a family vibe, where the educators have for the most part been at the centre for many years and seem to be happy in their roles. Special shout outs to Jen, Debbie, Sam, Nancy, Holly, Alyce, Elyssa, Vy and Belinda who are incredible carers and are genuinely invested in the kids’ growth and development. They always have time for friendly feedback for us on drop-off and pick-up. We have been provided with schedule changes at short notice, good vacation programs and the team puts extra effort into family days (recently Easter tea). Highly recommended!

My 2yo daughter attended FELC in 2024, and our family couldn’t be more grateful to the wonderful team here for helping my sensitive girl adjust to her first daycare. The kids are always happy and laughing, and you will always find the educators engaged/playing with them! The educators are all top notch and genuinely caring. Maria, the Director, is also so kind and understanding - she goes above and beyond for the families. The outside area is great, different pockets of space for different types of play (they have a great sandpit). I’m sad we’ve had to move daycare centres due to relocation but I’d have no problem sending her back if we ever returned. Thank you FELC!

My child has been in Forestville ELC for more than 2 years, started in the baby’s room and now in preschool. The centre manager and the educators are all very welcoming and I can tell they truly love working with children and help the children learn and grow. I get daily updates of my child from the centre’s Xplor app. The indoor and outdoor play areas are clean and tidy. The learning programs are interesting and there are different activities for the children every day. There are regular incursions and excursions organised so the children can experience the local community. They invite children’s parents to celebration parties at the centre for occasions such as Mother’s Day and Easter. I’m very happy with the care to my child at Forestville and I’m sending my second child to the same centre next year. I recommend Forestville ELC to who are looking for good care for their children.
