Our son has been more than happy at the facility, enjoys going always wants to stay longer! They go through a great deal of effort with their events as well! Would recommend! Thanks to all the staff!Posted on Google SHERIE HAWLITrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’ve had nothing but a fantastic experience at Gaven Early learning. My daughter and son both attended there ( kindy and senior ) and I couldn’t think of anywhere better for them. They’re provided with structure and care along with so many ‘extras’ other daycares don’t offer. Bush kindy, Nursing home visits, library visits and swimming lessons. The educators are all fantastic the kids absolutely adore all their teachers Angi, Simmi, Maddy, Tia , Allen and all of the rest. Karen has been wonderful to deal with for us. The centre is managed and ran really well and there is so much effort out in by all to ensure the kids and parents have the best experience. My daughter will be off to school next year and has had the most incredible Kindy year at Gaven. Thank you to all the staff ❤️Posted on Google Whitney TroutTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

The educators are so lovely and my kids are very happy. Karen is very helpful. Any questions or queries and she sorts it out easy. Super flexible and helpful. Thanks Karen, and Miss Katie and Miss Angi and Miss Simi 🦋Posted on Google Elaine BainTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My son started at Gaven Early Learning this year and has settled in really well. He loves going to Kindy and he is learning so much! He gets to go on weekly excursions, and they are helping him to prepare to start school next year. His teachers are great and are always happy and helpful. We were both unhappy with his previous Kindy and I wish I moved him to Gaven sooner. Highly recommend!Posted on Google Ruth HakimTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I don't usually leave reviews, but Gaven Early Learning centre and all its staff need to be recognised and appreciated. My 5 year old son with severe allergies attends on 2 days, and the staff have been nothing short of amazing. Special mentions to Ms Anje, Ms Simi and Ms Karen, who go to great lengths to look after him and stay in close communication with me where necessary. The staff are always friendly, show genuine care and love for the children, and are always happy to help and be flexible with children's needs. Next year is big school for my son, and there's no doubt that there will be lots of tears leaving this wonderful and loving community. Thank you Gaven Early Learning.Posted on Google Shannon DuryTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We enrolled our daughter into Gaven ELC after moving interstate and the staff have been wonderful with helping her settle into the new centre. I've been very impressed with the patience, support and compassion the educators have shown her every day when she has a difficult time adjusting and it's a credit to them to see how happy she is when we drop her off now.
