There’s No Other Place Like This

My daughter is so happy here and ADORES the educators. She lights up when she sees them in the morning, which is so comforting. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about this place.

I’ve seen my daughter excel so much since coming here, even though it’s only for two days a week.

Although there are other daycare centres much closer to me (literally on the same street), I am more than happy driving 25 minutes one way because there’s no other place like this.

Highly Recommend! ❤️

From the Very Beginning, We Knew She Was in Safe and Caring Hands

We couldn’t be happier with the care our daughter receives at Green Elephant - Horsley Park. From the very beginning, we’ve felt confident that she’s in safe and caring hands. The educators are warm, attentive, and genuinely committed to the children’s well-being. My husband works in early education and it was the first time he was impressed with a centre tour, so I knew that was a great sign.

We really appreciate how they keep us informed about her day, her progress, and any important updates during pick-up. They’re also very adaptable to her individual needs, which makes us feel even more reassured.

It’s been a wonderful experience so far, and we’re happy to recommend Green Elephant - Horsley Park to any family looking for a supportive and nurturing daycare environment.

We could not be happier with The Green Elephant and it's team at Horsely Park.

I began the search for a daycare quite a while ago and I came across TGE and it's the only tab I saved and the only daycare we visited when we were ready. I felt nervous starting the daycare journey the process was made so easy, as soon as we had a tour my husband and I knew this was the one.

I'd like to say a big thank you to all the team for making our daughters start at daycare so welcoming. I know she is looked after and having the most fun day!

I often say to people I love how when we walk into daycare in the morning there is a big smile and personal welcome. Her educators have been very supportive and welcoming which i really appreciate. The facilities are great and my goodness the grounds (and chickens!) amazing. What a wonderful space for children to enjoy.

I'm looking forward to our journey at TGE

The Green Elephant Beaconsfield is an amazing centre!

It has a beautiful rooftop environment and a wonderful team of educators who are always happy, enthusiastic and kind.

In the more than a year that our son has attended, we haven’t had a single issue or complaint. He is happy, confident and clearly feels secure in their care, which gives us such peace of mind as parents knowing we’re leaving him in safe hands.

Couldn’t recommend them enough ❤️

We couldn’t recommend this centre highly enough!

An amazing centre with such a caring and professional team. The educators are warm, attentive and always responsive, and Elena has been incredibly happy during her time here.

A heartfelt thank you to Mable, Lizzy, Monica, Axell and the entire team — we truly appreciate all the care, support and kindness you’ve shown. ❤️

I highly recommend TGE Beaconsfield as a loving daycare centre for kids!

The warm welcome and daily updates really put our minds at ease. It brings us so much joy to see our little ones happily running to their teachers, and it's clear there are strong bonds between them. The caregivers are wonderful, they are sincere in taking care of the kids and communicating with parents.

Sending our special shout-out to the nursery and preschool educators—you guys are amazing and so appreciated! We also love the fun events that bring families together. The management team is incredibly supportive.

Thank you all for everything! ❤️

We have had such a wonderful experience with The Green Elephant Waterloo, and a huge part of that has been thanks to the incredible Centre Director.

From day one, the director has gone above and beyond to create a warm, welcoming and beautifully organised environment. She is exceptionally professional, genuinely caring and always takes the time to listen, connect and build meaningful relationships with families. It brings us such peace of mind knowing the centre is led by someone so dedicated to the wellbeing, development and happiness of every child.

The educators are wonderful, the facilities are beautiful, and the communication with families is consistently excellent. If you are looking for an early learning centre where your child will feel supported, nurtured and truly thrive, we cannot recommend The Green Elephant Waterloo, and the wonderful team highly enough.

We wholeheartedly recommend The Green Elephant Rosebery to any family looking for a warm, nurturing and enriching early learning environment.

We are immensely grateful to the entire team at The Green Elephant Rosebery for the exceptional care and dedication they have shown our daughter over the past three years. The skills, confidence and values she has developed during her time at the centre have been invaluable and will stay with her for years to come.

Robert Zou

Rosebery Parent

Enrolling my son at The Green Elephant Rosebery was one of our best decisions we have ever made.

I cannot express enough how grateful I am to all the educators and staff. My son has spent two beautiful and memorable years here, and the way they care for the children is truly amazing.

I didn’t write a recommendation when we first started, but now, as our time here comes to an end, I can wholeheartedly recommend this centre based on our experience.

Every child is cared for with such thoughtfulness, attention and genuine care. I would certainly recommend this centre to any family looking for a wonderful place for their child.

I wish you all the very best.

From the moment we walked into The Green Elephant, we felt at home.

The educators are warm, attentive, and truly invested in every child’s growth. Our son has blossomed in confidence, made wonderful friends, and comes home excited to share his day. The Green Elephant’s approach is thoughtful and nurturing, and we’re so grateful to be part of this community."

The Green Elephant has been a second home for our daughter since she was 10 months old. The educators genuinely know each child’s personality and needs.

We love the outdoor spaces, creative activities, and how included we feel as parents. Every day she comes home happy, confident, and full of stories. Their philosophy is embedded in everything they do, and it shows in how our daughter is thriving. We couldn’t imagine her early years anywhere else."
