What recent reviews say
Every reviewer rated this centre five stars across more than two years. Parents consistently describe warm, caring educators who know their children by name and build lasting relationships. The low staff turnover means children stay with familiar carers through their entire time here, which parents cite as a major source of comfort and continuity.
Specific strengths include creative activities (nature crafts, guitar songs), attentive management (director Kirsty and assistant Kanami are hands-on and responsive), and a genuine community feel. Multiple reviewers mention children settling quickly, thriving developmentally, and actually wanting to come back each day.

Sanctuary Early Learning Adventure Ashmore

Most families see their children blossom at Sanctuary. Educators create a warm, nurturing space where children move from reluctant to eager drop-offs, supported by a thoughtfully designed natural yard and activities spanning music, sports, and gardening. A small but significant concern arose regarding educator boundaries; one early childhood professional withdrew her application after observing staff kissing children and feeling her concerns were ignored. Routine communication gaps have also been noted, though resolved quickly when raised.

The Cottage Ashmore Early Learning Centre
4.8(20)✓ Google-verified
Families consistently praise the centre's intimate, nurturing environment and the genuine warmth of its educators. Staff know children by name across rooms, communicate daily with photos and reflections, and children settle quickly and thrive. One parent reported serious trauma linked to an educator's conduct a year ago, which remains unresolved in their child's experience, making it a material caveat alongside otherwise strong satisfaction.
