Creative Kids Early Learning Centre

How lucky we were to be part of the Creative Kids community. My son was in the Pre-K room and he thrived. He would bounce through the door and with a very quick goodbye to me off he went into his room. He felt so safe, secure and nurtured by his educators who built such a strong bond with him while catering to his social and emotional needs and at the same time encouraging independence and risk taking.
It was fewer days that he would come home in the same clothes as outdoor messy play is encouraged- jumping in puddles, watering the garden, adding compost to the worm home, playing in the sandpit and all the wonderful things that children discover in an outdoor space. The opportunities within the wider community are also built on and he loved walking down to the Main St market, library, community center and local playground. I would highly recommend Creative Kids!

What a very special little place this is, where everyone is truly made to feel so welcome and included! Everyone who works here is so warm and friendly, and they all remember everything about our child and our family.
Our child’s days are truly so fulfilling. Here, they teach and cook and garden and sing.
We couldn’t ask for a better experience for the years before school.
Highly recommend for infants to kinders.

My son began 3yo kinder at Creative Kids in Jan 2023, and I can’t speak highly enough about the staff and centre. His educators are absolutely wonderful, and demonstrate such a genuine care and interest. They provide a fun, supportive and creative environment, and a wide range of learning activities to spark the children’s interest and grow their skills and knowledge.
My son is learning so much, has made some lovely friends, and is very happy and excited to share all he’s been up to at kinder.
As a family we’ve felt very welcomed and supported, especially by the centre manager Kate, who’s been nothing short of amazing! We feel very lucky and grateful to have found Creative Kids

Incredible daycare. Small close knit team who really care about the children and providing them with rich learning experiences in the centre and throughout the Mornington Community. They really catered to our family and each of my children’s needs as individuals. Would recommend to anyone residing or working in the area, as a childcare centre.

Fantastic daycare. My son settled in really easily this year and he absolutely adores his educators. Very happy. If you are looking for a daycare with a smaller, more personal touch, I would highly recommend.

I absolutely love Creative Kids and feel so grateful to have moved to the centre 3 years ago. The educators are incredible. They have welcomed my boys with open arms and they are always greeted with smiles and hugs. My 4 year old will come home and talk all about his day, from fun with friends, to deeper topics about building resilience, empathy and connection. There is so much thought and dedication put into making the kids day meaningful- the variety of visitors that talk about different topics and excursions to Mornington are wonderful. Highly recommend.

Words simply cannot express how amazing this centre and its educators are. They have created such a treasured safe space for our shy little girl, and built the most beautiful relationships with her. They have taken the time to get to know her interests, and use them to create magical experiences for her. They even hosted a Winnie the Pooh themed birthday party for her. I will be forever grateful for these amazing educators.

Creative Kids is an amazing place and I couldn’t be happier that I chose it for my little girl. The staff are exception and really truly care. The communication is outstanding and we are always kept informed on what she learns and her progress. And she loves going!

My daughter has been at creative kids for the last 9 months and we are very thankful to have found a smaller Centre where families are known and the children’s education and care comes first. The staff have been excellent in communicating our our daughters development. It’s a family orientated Centre that really cares.

They’ve also done an exceptional job of managing the COVID situation with the constant updates and disruptions it has caused for childcare and families. They’ve been thorough with communication, clear and most importantly, supportive to be all their families in light of a very difficult situation.

From our family, please know we are grateful and appreciate of Jess’s and the rest of the teams, positive attitudes and hard work, not just at a difficult time but everyday. Walking in and seeing their smiles and encouraging words makes all the difference.

Our daughter started here in January and it has been such a pleasant experience for us and her. The staff are very professional, friendly and attentive. I feel 100% comfortable leaving her in their care. This morning when we arrived her response was to clap and say a big "YAY! " I think that says it all really.

We couldn't be happier with Creative Kids! My 4YO has adjusted to the centre really quickly thanks to the warm and caring staff. The educators are engaging, calm and in-control at all times, which creates a sense of comfort for all the children. There is so much space for free-play, with a good balance of routine and interesting activities the kids can get involved in. The communication is friendly, timely and professional. We feel so lucky to be a part of such a nurturing learning environment.

We have both our daughters at Creative Kids and have moved from the babies room, up through the Toddler and now in the Kindergarten. The staff are fantastic with lots of interactive activities and learning that happens. They care so much for the children and I feel so confident leaving my children in their care.

The staff are brilliant. Our little boy loves it here! He wants to go every single day, and when it’s time to go home he’s all smiles and doesn’t want to leave!

Creative Kids is a very caring and fun centre. The staff are lovely and my daughter always looks forward to going. It's a small centre and has a real family feel about it.

My son has been attending Creative Kids since he was 4 months old. They always make us feel like he's the only child at the center by the way they interact with him and the way they're always available to answer our questions. They have been so accommodating adapting to his changing needs. They take his food intolerances very seriously. I am so happy I chose a small family focused center.highly recommend!

So glad I decided to send my daughter here! The staff are so wonderful and I feel as though they love my bubba almost as much as I do! There's such a warm and loving atmosphere at this Centre, it's a brilliant place.

My boys LOVE going to Creative Kids. They run in the doors and never want to leave! I know the team are giving my boys the best care, support and encouragement they need and I would highly recommend the centre.

We have tried multiple centres, My daughter wasn't cared for in the best way. This centre is full of love and nurturing and she is so happy with the staff. They know and understand what my daughter needs and each and every one of the ladies are just beautiful people and make you feel completely comfortable.
Every aspect of this business is well organised and the food is healthy and my daughter actually eats it!

I strongly encourage you try the center, you will feel comfortable knowing that your child will be watched always and in good hands.

We love creative kids so much!
My 3 year old started this year and has attended for 3 weeks now and we couldn’t be happier.
The staff and especially Chev were incredibly understanding towards me when I came to them with my many concerns before enrolling him and during our first few weeks.
They made us feel comfortable, always answered even the silliest questions and continue to communicate with me consistently.

We couldn’t thank them enough for making this transition easier than we ever thought possible.

Returning to work earlier then I expected after having my first child, I was hesitant leaving a 5 month old at a centre, even though I had worked in the industry myself. From the moment I stepped into Creative Kids I felt welcomed and reassured that my son was going to be well looked after. The centre felt homely and the staff were amazing. 18months later we are still there and fell like part of the family. My son loves being there and will happily go to any of the staff who have always gone above and beyond to ensure both myself and Brodie are happy. I would highly recommend the centre to anyone, being a smaller centre means that the staff get to know you and your child so much more and that is definitely a positive to me.
