YMCA Bunbury Early Learning Centre

I've had a long relationship with the YMCA – from attending as a young child, to briefly working there a decade ago, and now with my youngest child attending. I truly cannot fault this centre. Every single educator goes above and beyond for the families enrolled, and it shows in everything they do. I'm so grateful my baby gets to be part of such a beautiful, loving environment. Leaving your child in someone else's care is never easy, but having to work is a reality many of us face. Knowing my son is so well looked after gives me such peace of mind. The level of care and attention the educators provide – not just to my child, but to every child – is nothing short of exceptional. Thank you to the whole team for creating such a nurturing and supportive place.

I can’t speak highly enough of this place. The staff are just amazing and really listen to you, and just generally go above and beyond in every way. My baby Charlie was pretty tricky to get to sleep and was resistant for so long with drinking from a bottle but they persevered and got there in the end- a special shout out to Katie the baby whisperer, and the chefs for the really yummy, healthy food, but all the staff are great. Also the outdoor space was by far the best out of the four daycare centres I looked at. Nice and big, natural environment with lots of interesting nooks and crannies to play in. Plus huge room inside and two cot rooms so the babies aren’t crammed in like sardines. We couldn’t have picked a better place to start our daycare journey and now Charlie is a daycare pro, despite how nervous I was about the whole daycare thing at the beginning. I only took her out of this daycare as we had to go back to Perth, otherwise I would have happily kept her there. Highly recommend.
