Cressy Road Early Learning - Ryde, New South Wales

Cressy Road is great, my son left Cressy Road last year to go to school, whilst my 3 year old daughter attends Cressy Road. They are quite different kids, my son was quieter and reserved but really clicked with one of the educators and that helped him settle in. My daughter just loves it there, she has a great group of friends, gets on well with the educators (who are really lovely). Everyday when she comes home I ask her about her day and she always says she had a great day. They have a great big outdoor area to play in, they do science and art projects, the food is also really good.

We toured so many places around Ryde/Gladesville before deciding to enrol at Cressy Road. As a first time mum, I didn't really know what to look for when choosing a centre, but choosing Cressy Road was a no brainer. Our son was 8 months at the time and a terrible sleeper who only contact napped in a carrier, so I was really worried about how he would settle into daycare if he were to be forced to sleep in a cot. At Cressy Road, the educator giving us the tour listened to my concerns and showed me the carrier they use to wear any contact nappers, which put me at ease straight away to know they were willing to do that.

We have been a Cressy Road family for 2 years now. We absolutely love it there. Lovely caring staff with low turnover and great continuity. The staff are REI trained and very much focus on meeting each child's individual needs, which is well-aligned with our respectful/responsive parenting philosophy. There's a huge outdoor play space with vegie gardens and chickens, which the children learn to take care of. The food is amazing and all freshly prepared on site. I could go on and on about all the positives.

The owner Nesha Hutchinson genuinely cares about the children, families and staff members. She is highly qualified and a leader of the industry - I think she's the President of Australian Childcare Alliance, so she right up there setting the standards and best practices for the industry, which she and her staff consistently put into practice on the ground at Cressy Road. We genuinely couldn't be happier with our experience. Thank you Nesha, Odette, Denis, Belinda, Beatriz, Annaliese, Claudia, Laura, Sana, Manal, Alice, Angela, Amanda, David, Hinson, and all the amazing staff I've forgotten to name, for your incredible work!

2024 will be the last year for our second child at Cressy Road Early Learning. When our first child started here it was called Cressy Road Cottages, however both management teams have gone above and beyond to help both of our children extend their social and intellectual development in a safe and loving environment.

Cressy Road Early Learning is a fantastic centre! Such a lovely community and the carers have become an extention of our family. Would highly reccomend for anyone looking for a childcare service to look after their family.

During my recent visits to the childcare center, I couldn't help but notice persistent hygiene issues that have raised concerns. The classrooms appeared noticeably dirty, which is troubling given the importance of maintaining a clean and safe environment for children. The overall condition of the facility seems to fall short of the standards one would expect for childcare.

Furthermore, my experiences with the educators left much to be desired. Communication was lacking, and the interactions were not conducive to a positive learning atmosphere. Clear communication and positive interactions between educators and children are crucial for fostering a supportive and enriching environment.

I strongly urge the childcare center to address these issues promptly. Ensuring a hygienic and well-maintained space, as well as fostering positive relationships between educators and children, is vital for the overall well-being and development of the young ones under their care. I believe prompt attention to these matters will contribute to a healthier and more nurturing environment for all involved.

My son is in the babies room and is happy every day! The educators provide such love and variety in his day - I love seeing the photos of him exploring, cooking, creating and learning. When chatting with other parents about how much our children enjoy their days at Cressy Road, I am confident I have made the right decision in choosing this team.

Cressy Road Early Learning and their team have been extremely helpful and accommodating to my son who experience separation anxiety.

My mind is at ease when I am able to leave them within their care where I do receive continuous updates on their progress throughout the day.

The centre itself has created an adventurous environment which my child loves. There is so much they offer the kids from sports, crafts, education, nutritious meals & even date night for mum and dad!

I can not recommend them enough

Cressy road early learning is amazing. Since my child has attended, I have noticed a significant change. She loves being able to see the chickens and check the eggs. We also have friends with children here too and they recommended us to go here. The gardens are amazing and our daughter loves exploring in the grounds and gardens. Highly recommended!!!
