Excellent childcare centre. The director Reesha is very caring and is attuned to the needs of individual children. I found the centre works well with parents. Healthy meals cooked on site. Loved the outdoor focus - the kids sleep outside unless the weather is really bad, which is much healthier, and the kids would also go on little treks and picnics to nearby parks. Nice outdoor play area. The educators also did a good job of looking for ways to extend the children's interests and learning. My child has loved her time there and made very solid friendships. Recommended.

I have had my children at Woden Early Childcare Centre for almost 6 years. Throughout this time, my children have received high quality care, The staff are engaged, friendly and professional. They genuinely care for the children which I believe is important. The centre itself allows the children to be creative and explore (both inside and outside). I also love that the centre has chickens! The management of the centre is also friendly and engaged, so if you ever have a question or issue you want to raise, you know you will be truely heard.

An amazing non-for-profit centre that truly puts children first. We are so grateful to Reesha and the team who have been running this centre for years with so much care and love. We appreciate the focus on outdoor play, wonderful playground, excursions to nearby Eddison Park, naps outdoors and more.

This is the best childcare centre I have ever seen. No words for the staffs and management on their passion towards their job. A big thank you to Reesha and each one of the staffs for taking care of my baby.

Our daughter absolutely loves it here. The best thing about this centre is that it is very unique in that the children spend most of their day outside rather than stuck indoors all day. This great nature philosophy, together with great
