Explore And Develop Brookvale

"I've been really happy with the results at E&D Brookvale. Their balance of educational versus playtime is outstanding and their contribution to my  son's development over the last few years has been significant. It's put him in very good stead for school next year. Our son looks forward to preschool each day and that makes me very happy".  Andrew Heywood

"From day one, we absolutely loved this centre. Charlene, the centre's owner and Director, is amazing! Working tirelessly to make sure everything is managed and maintained to the highest standard - while ensuring a wonderfully warm, welcoming and family-focussed environment. This centre is truly unique. Our boys have always been encouraged to explore and participate freely, invited to test their own boundaries and limits, and are provided with a wealth of the most exciting and creative learning opportunities on a daily basis! The staff at the centre demonstrate amazing patience and love for our boys.  It is so wonderful knowing that when I drop them off in the morning, they will be looked after with nothing but care and kindness, by people they really trust. We feel really lucky to be part of the Explore and Develop family.  Thank you to Charlene and the team!" 

"It's a big decision finding the right day care for your child. I know for me it was. I have high standards and wanted to find a second home for my precious child. Without family around and having to work full time it was important I found that special place. I was recommended Explore & Develop by another mum & child care worker on Facebook and I hit the jackpot when I found the Brookvale centre! At first I hesitated moving from a centre with a backyard, but now I can't imagine being anywhere else! This centre offers so much more on every level and the outdoor area is brilliant and ever-evolving. My child leaves for school next year and I just wish he could stay at Charlene's centre till high school!! It's not only the community feel and small centre that's appealing, it's the reassurance knowing you have an onsite director and owner who puts her heart and soul into the centre - down to the amazing indoor and outdoor play equipment, the activity based learning, the education standards, the incursions, to the high quality food served and most importantly, the outstanding, caring and engaging teaching staff - it's no wonder the staff never leave! It's all about the little things and E&D Brookvale has it. And at the end of the day you can tell how wonderful the centre is by the smiles on the children's faces, they're content and love being there - my child included. I could go on, so please feel free to contact me via Charlene and I will gladly vouch my words for those that are seeking reassurance."

"Our son was so lucky to have spent 2 years with Charlene and the amazing team at E & D Brookvale! It was his first experience of Childcare and the nurturing and positive environment made this such a positive and memorable time for him. We have referred them to many of our friends who have also had an amazing experience there, and cannot speak highly enough of the Centre, the Carers, the Educators and their positive philosophy."
