Reviews for Cuddly Bear Templestowe Early Learning Centre

Leonora Minican9 days ago

After being recommended by another family, we moved to cuddlybear 5 years ago , leaving a large corporate-run centre in the area, and it was the best decision for our family. The educators have been there for many years and seeing the same caring faces year after year has been amazing for our children. The large outdoor yard is beautiful, and the swimming lessons during the Kindergarten program have helped us so much, especially with busy weekends full of basketball. A big thank you to all the educators for helping all three of my children have fun each day and grow with confidence in such a warm and caring centre. We will be so sad to say goodbye at the end of the year when our youngest graduates to school. Our family recommends cuddly bear to any family starting their childcare journey or wanting a more personal centre as they are family-owned owned.

Response from the owner8 days ago

Thank you so much Leonora for your beautiful review and kind words 💛🐻 We are so grateful your family joined our Cuddly Bear family 5 years ago. It means so much to hear how much your children have loved the caring educators, outdoor environment and swimming program over the years. Thank you for trusting us with all three of your children. We will be so sad to say goodbye to your youngest at the end of the year but are so proud watching each of your children shine bright at school 👩‍🎓👩‍🎓😊
