Manchester Road Early Learning Centre

We have had such a wonderful experience with the centre. The staff are so helpful, supportive and engaging! Thank you for taking such great care of all the kids!

My son is being looked after very well! Outdoor play. Story time. My son looks happy in the photos taken by the staff member in Manchester Road Early Learning Centre!:)

Always blown away by the care at this place.my son has a disability and yet the staff go out of their way to include him. They are also proactive in asking for any additional expert advice that we've attained recently (since my son has physio etc the staff want to know how best to seat him, play with him etc). Would recommend these guys in a heartbeat.

I currently send my 2 children here and I cannot think of a better place to send them, they both have the most beautiful caring teachers that have their best interests at heart? And go above and beyond to give them the best care possible!

The director Hana is also very lovely and is so flexible and accommodating for our family.

When choosing a centre, Manchester Road stood out for its friendly staff, interesting learning spaces and positive feel. Now having experienced what they have to offer over the past year, I have appreciated their ongoing level of communication and organisation. Very happy to have my child here. ️

The staff at Manchester Road ELC are so warm and welcoming. Couldn’t be happier with the service our family receives!

My daughter started childcare at Manchester when she was 10 months in March 2021. I was very paranoid about putting her in childcare as she was my first and I had no clue how she or I ll cope and also my mom guilt haunted me, but the teachers at Manchester pipis (room dedicated to kids below 18 to 24 months) are the best.

They have supported her transition so much that I have no words to thank them, She started for couple of hours in a day and now she can stay a whole day. She loves it there. She can't wait to be dropped off at the childcare, she happily waves bye to me every single day and that makes my heart feel good about the decision choosing Manchester Rd early learning.

Teacher put so much effort and update us of all the activities my daughter does with pictures as well and when I see that am so confident that my daughter is enjoying her time there.

I am greatful to every teacher at Pipis for doing such a wonderful job as I could see my baby is growing into a happy and well behave toddler and not least at all the Chef who cooks yummy fresh food for my daughter.

I highly recommend this centre. This is the first child care that our daughter had been to. But we were very lucky because you have everything that I ask for.
(Xplor app is amazing with real time updates about our daughters day)
I can’t thank you enough for everything you’ve done for our baby from a fussy eater to a big eater.
Thank you to all the staff for caring, understanding and nutrition. This is a second home for her but sadly we have to change to another center because of moving home. We will miss you and visit soon.

Manchester road early learning centre in Victoria had a person centred relationship with my son. They understood his needs and worked with us to ensure he had a wonderful experience. Highly recommend the centre!

My children have been attending this centre since 2014 when we first moved to the area. My daughter is now in primary school but still had wonderful connections with staff when she is there to pick up/drop off her brother. The staff genuinely care for the kids and take an interest in each and every one of them. I honestly have no idea how they remember each childs likes/dislikes, friendship groups / patterns and still have time to show genuine care for each and every child there every day. This is our last year at the centre as my littlest is off to school next year and I will miss the staff at the centre. Many of them have become friends of ours outside of the service. If you are looking for quality childcare in Mooroolbark don't look any further.

Not a fan of their persistent marketing strategy, I've recieved four calls this week to offer me a deal on sending my child there. Clearly not interested after the forth call.

My daughter has been going to this centre for over a year now and we absolutely love it.
We never have any issues and she can’t wait for her daycare days! The educators are amazing. Highly recommend:)

I went to visit this centre a few days ago, very disappointing. The director Rachel was very cold and unwelcoming. Felt like she didn't even wanna bother talking to me! While I was there, there was kid dropped dummy on the floor in front of us and screaming, she just said" oh dear", didn't do anything about it, walked pass and had no compassion. Honestly nothing like what she described herself on the centre website! Very disappointing!

MRELC is filled with a plethora of caring, skilled and compassionate Educators with a passion for early learning. It's really well run and operated, and they also provide us with daily photos and developmental reports. Our toddler loves going there every day.

My toddler absolutely thrives at Manchester Road ELC. His teachers are kind and caring and provide the children with age appropriate educational and engaging activities every day. Communication between parents and staff is wonderful and the Centre is always very clean.

I'm a grandma (and a GP) I've never dropped in to see crying children being ignored and always hear calm friendly voices from staff.

My children have attended this centre since 2013 and have been very happy. The staff are all lovely, caring, nurturing and compassionate. Having tried other daycare facilities in the same locality, this is by far my favourite.

My Son has been attending this centre for about 6 months now. At first I was a bit apprehensive of "child care" but the service and staff at Manchester Road are first class.

The Centre seems to cover all aspects of early childhood development and parents are updated daily by email and photographs. The staff are all warm and caring.

I feel Manchester Road is a great facility and well run and operated.
