Reviews for Little Charlie's Early Learning Centre

Nicola Pollock30 days ago

The humans at Little Charlie's are incredible. I've sent my son since he was 6 months old the team have been so compassionate, caring and personable. They go above and beyond to care for and love my child, and they've been so supportive of our family since day 1. The centre has always been clean and well presented - they put so much effort into how the rooms look. One thing that's really blown me away here is the amount of thought that is put into celebrating holidays, special occasions and themed days. I have loved our time at Little Charlie's and dread the day our child is ready to move on to school! Every team member is truly amazing - I appreciate you all so much. Special thanks to Beth, the centre manager. She's an incredible human and has the calmest nature.
