Reviews for Narre Warren YMCA Early Learning Centre

Rachael Aabout 2 months ago

Very poor experience with this childcare centre. We had to call over 8 - 10 times before finally getting a response from the Centre Manager, Jo — she does not return calls, making communication extremely frustrating. CCS was not applied correctly, and we were charged full fees for weeks until the issue was finally resolved. Our child regularly comes home with soiled underwear, which raises serious concerns about hygiene and care. On several occasions, we've found the kinder room unsupervised, with children left alone. I saw a child eating paper/plastic in the reading corner during pickup — staff were not even aware, and we had to step in and alert them. Incident reports are not being completed for above-the-shoulder injuries, which goes against basic safety policies. The kinder room is always messy, chaotic, and disorganised. It closes around 4pm every day, with children being moved into another class due to low centre occupancy — which is disruptive and doesn’t feel fair on the children. We are extremely disappointed in the lack of communication, care, and basic supervision. Would not recommend this centre based on our experience

Thank you, Rachael, for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re genuinely sorry to hear that your experience with our centre did not meet your expectations. We always welcome feedback, both positive and constructive, as it helps us to grow and improve. We do wish these concerns had been raised with us directly at the time, as we are committed to working in partnership with families and addressing any issues promptly and collaboratively.
