Villa Bambini Early Learning Centre Essendon

This is the best place you could ever send your child. We have been here since the opening and have never had one complaint. The educators have cared for our children like their own. The rooms are always safe and clean. We have loved our time here and would highly recommend it to everyone.

We have been a part of the Villa community for almost 7 years. In that time, we have come to know the staff and educators. All are polite, knowledgeable, kind and great communicators. The centre itself is modern, well-maintained and always kept clean. A shout-out to the kitchen also for serving the kids nutritious and varied meals. My children and I have had a very positive experience with Villa and have recommended it to several of my friends and family.

Highly recommend - have had both children attend from 9months old. The staff are fantastic. Communication is great and the activities / food / kinder program are the best.

We have really enjoyed our time at Villa Bambini with our son (2019,20,21 and the rest of 22 still to come). The different educators that have been in charge of our little boys room have always been a positive influence in his life. The curriculum they have followed has always 'made sense' and encouraged a curiosity in him about the world around him.

My son attended Villa Bambini for 5 years. All of the staff were wonderful and we had a great experience with the centre.
He loved all of the outdoor play and incursion experiences that were offered to him. He has also made some friends for life.

Our two kids have been attending Villa for the past three years and the centre could not have done any more to make them feel comfortable and safe - well done to all their staff for continuing to go over and above!

A great place for kids to feel safe, learn and grow. Making us feel comfortable from day 1 and making our boy feel special on graduation day. Thanks for all your hard work Villa and we recommend you to all our friends.

Fantastic facility! Staff are so caring and treat the kids as if their own. Our family have been with Villa for 5years now and I cant fault any of the experiences we have had. Recommend them to all!

When a center is able to recruit, retain and provide a growth path for engaged educators who take interests in knowing each kid and balancing care versus growth, the stability should give you confidence that you kids can feel supported to explore and learn. We have been here for 2.5 years with our first one and able to get very specific account and advice any day (if we wish) on how our little one has done no matter which educator ended up taking her out. We will have no doubt sending our 2nd kid there when he grows into age. We are lucky to have Villa in Essendon directed by Jenny / Maria who have great empathy / practicality to accommodate a challenging COVID situation.

Since the very beginning when there were tears in new surroundings, the staff always made our children feel safe and cared for. I dont know how but the place is always clean and calm. Our children still talk about everyone, and I feel like the staff genuinely cared for our boys. 500 stars.

Villa Bambini is a beautiful childcare centre. The staff are super friendly and helpful. The centre is always so clean. There are so many activities for the kids, water play in the summer, music lessons, language sessions and sport days. Our 2.5 yo has attended VB since he was 8 months old, and he loves it.

The carers at this day care are so sincere and are very great with children. They provide great care and attention to each child's needs and provide great feedback on how your child's day has been.

We have had 3 kids at Villa Bambini Essendon, from Toddler to Kinder. The educators are attentive and caring, the admin staff are professional and helpful. Excellent communication throughout all the lockdowns and most importantly, the kids love it! Highly recommended: D

The team at Villa Bambini Essendon have been fantastic. Our daughter has been going there for the last 12mths and she loves it. We are so happy with what she has achieved in this centre, she surprises us everyday with what she learns. We feel so safe sending her and reassured with the care she receives. And if that didn’t put your mind at ease the photos we receive on Storypark along with a well written outline of the learning objectives really makes us feel as if we were with her all day.
All the educators are caring and very attentive.
The admin staff are very responsive and knowledgeable too.
We can’t recommend them enough. Thankyou and keep up with the great work.

Fantastic staff and teachers to work with: friendly, caring and professional. My daughter loves her teachers and enjoys going to care every day. Can't ask for more than that!

From our first phone call, to the doing a tour and starting at villa bambini we have had a very positive experience. All staff have been professional, supportive, nurturing and really attentive to our children - especially in those first days when it can be overwhelming. I also really appreciate the daily updates, and great communication on the centre activities. I would highly recommend them for their care and passion for early learning and providing our children with a safe and fun learning environment.

We love Villa Bambini Essendon. The staff are so friendly and welcoming with our son. The centre are great at communication and I always feel at ease when he is there. Our son looks forward to his days at Villa all week and always comes home having had a great day!

We are really happy with Villa Bambini, kids are very well looked after there, thank you so much girls!

We only have good things to say about Villa Bambini. The team is so caring, professional and helpful. We moved from overseas and our daughter goes there full time for kinder. Her adjustment was perfect, not a single tear and she loves her carers and teachers. The whole daycare experience in Australia was new to us and we relied on the guidance and support from Jenny and Danni.
We always had great communication with Danni to discuss any concerns and to plan how together with Villa Bambini we could support our daughter to be ready for primary school.
Even during lockdown we always felt safe to send our little one to kinder. Throughout the whole year she comes home excited to go back the next day and we can see how much she developed during this time.
We didn't receive multiple photos during the day as we were used to overseas but at the end of the week the photos of the class would give us a good idea of what was happening and the team was always ready to answer our questions during drop offs and pick ups. In a way, it was a good practice as parents to get ready for primary school too.
As our daughter graduates, we can see how much she has grown and developed. She made great friends and we are so grateful for having the team at Villa Bambini with us while we were as a family getting adjusted to new jobs, city and making new friends.

Villa Bambini is worth the wait. My daughter, who is socially shy, was warmly welcomed by teachers and carers. The team consistently demonstrate kindness, compassion and encourage her to be her best self. The curriculum is excellent and there is regular communication from the centre on activities, programs and community updates. The centre itself is beautiful, clean and organised and the classrooms have lots of natural light along with a lovely outdoor space and garden for exploring. In a short time, my daughter has grown more confident, and has learned so much - I look forward to her finishing her pre-school years at Villa.
