Aspire Childcare Centre - Pakenham

Very bad taking care of the baby. They let my daughter cry and not take a good care with her. I do not recommend this place at all. If you guys want your baby to be happy dont bring it here

Educators are lovely, however I’ve had nothing bad bad communication since day one. Feels like it’s all about the $$

A friend of mine has had nothing but issues with their child here. Clothing and belongings going missing despite being clearly labelled and the fact that said child had been attending for YEARS and the staff knew of the comfort items. I've seen children outside on scorching hot days. Being moved rooms without notification and not allowing stretchers or even a mat on the floor for a nap. No compassion or empathy for the children! This childcare was great when it first opened a few years ago but now, the only care is for profits!

Started off a great place but now it is evident that the Profits are Sooo much more important than the Welfare of the Kids. Taking Money to Hold Places open over Holidays, Charging for public Holidays while they are not Open. Feeding foreign food rather than local foods that the Kids will eat, Moving 2 year olds into 3 Year old, (Without Consultation) just to falsely claim the 3yo Kinder Rebate. The kind of care that has Toddlers outside on 38-40 degree days. Coming home without their favorite toy or another Kids Dummy or Bottle. The fact that they are having 2 year olds sleep on the floor is extremely poor and I would have thought well outside the operating guidelines. This place has gone from being one of the better option to being an establishment that should be shutdown.

***Review update***
I have been so impressed with Aspire, my son has been attending Aspire Pakenham for a few months now and I cannot thank them enough for the care they have provided, the level of communication and the cleanliness of the centre. My son always seems happy to be there and they always greet him and myself by name. I continue to recommend this facility to family and friends!

My son attends this childcare and i can assure its one of the best wxperiences i have had. The transition was great all the educators are so supportive and understanding. I really recommend this centre.

The decoration of the classroom is so colorful n cute️
Camilla enjoys playing here!
Avnee shows a lot of patience towards Camilla, and we are so happy that Camilla has showed improvement in speaking English, and she is so happy to be at school.

Great and friendly service and staff, Angie was very helpful with the enrolment process.can't wait for my son to have some good times at the centre

I highly recommend aspire Pakenham. On our first tour of the centre, Natasha explain all rooms. We were impressed by her professionalism and cleanliness of the centre. Babies and children looked happy and well taken care off so we decided to enrol our daughter there. During orientation Angie described all the future processes and helped me understanding the childcare subsidy, enrolment process, how the family lounge app works and introduced me to all the educators who will interact with my baby girl. As our daughter is the only child we have, and she is just 4 months old I was worried and emotional on the first day, but Angie understood my situation and calmed me down which reduces my anxiety to leave her there for the first time. I do visit centre every three hours to nurse my daughter and observed Muqta and Stacie along with other educators are always on their toes taking care of the babies genuinely, singing songs to them, noticing ques of hunger and sleep as soon as possible, talking and playing with them. My daughter get settled there really soon smiling at every educator of her which shows that everyone there is really good to make a connection with babies. Now i feel like atlast i found a village which help me raise my baby girl and take care of her with full responsibility while i am busy in my research work.

My both kids always enjoy to go to centre. They have been going this centre from last 3 years.
Angie is so professional and welcoming when i go to centre in the morning. Her beautiful smile always make my day.

Overall Aspire Pakenham staff are so friendly and very welcoming towards us specially room bushland and gumnut educators I appreciate their effort to ensure that my daughter and son will have a memorable time whenever they attend the centre.

One of the best centres in Melbourne. There is a caring and consistent relationship between staff and children at Aspire centre. ASPIRE allows children time to explore and learn new activities and support all aspects of children’s development, including their social, emotional, physical and cognitive needs.

Great experience, lovely communication, excellent rapport building with every parent and a smile everyday from Zoe! Excellent room teachers in woodland Kinder room, big shout out to Natalia, Piumi, Saumya who make every day for my son Kai awesome with various experiences, comfort and more

I can highly recommend Aspire Childcare Centre in Pakenham. Staff are super friendly and are always approachable. The Centre always offer a clean, safe environment to the children to help enhance their educational, social and play based learning.

Very happy with Aspire pakenham!
Whole team are exceptional.
Zoe and Brittany always on the desk with a smile:)

After moving from regional Victoria during lockdowns we immediately felt like a part of the family. From the moment I spoke to the team to organise a walk through. They included my son like he was apart of the kinder family during the walk through including him In the painting activities and I knew we had found our kindergarten
From the management staff (Zoe and Britt) to the lovely teachers in my sons room Natalia, Piumi, Saumya have been such a beautiful influence on my son and we can't wait to keep growing with you all you are helping him build foundations to shape him into a strong and respectful little boy, thank you

My child have learnt a lot in the centre. He has become more confident than before. Will surely recommend this centre!

I highly recommend Pakenham Aspire Early Education and Kindergarten. My twins who are now 6 years old started in 2020 (to this day the boys still run up and talk to Natasha) my daughter who is 3 is still attending and is in the 3 year old kinder room. The care, support and dedication from the beginning has been outstanding from Natasha. The staff are super friendly and easy to get on with and up for a chat anytime.

The educators here are great. The center is a beautiful, clean and wonderful environment. My son loves coming everyday. Highly recommend this centre

Educators are always welcoming, they listen and work very well with goals you have for your little one/s and are very informative. My two little ones enjoy coming here. Thank you for being an amazing child care:)
