What Our Families Say About Coombs Early Learning
What Parents Want to Know About Our Childcare Services
We recommend considering childcare options when you find out that you’re expecting, especially if you are planning on returning to work quite soon after your maternity leave. Its important for you to feel confident with your decision and joining a waitlist just gives you peace of mind knowing you have options available when you do look at officially starting childcare.
This is going to differ for each family so it’s worth being clear on these as they will help guide you during this process. Key factors to consider could include;
Education Program/Day to day routine: Does the centre’s education and philosophies align with your beliefs about what early education should look like for your child?
Facilities: Do the centre’s facilities meet your child’s needs? Is it a safe, well-maintained environment
Opening Hours: Does the centre offer the long day care hours that align with your schedule? At Coombs ELC, we are open from 7:30am to 6:00pm to meet the needs of working families.
Distance from Work or Home? Is the centre close to your home or where you work? This is generally a key consideration for families initially.
Mums Intuition: Last but not least, do you have a good feeling about the centre? From the staff you’ve interacted with, the communication and processes they follow. Did your child come along to the tour and feel comfortable? It’s important you are confident about your decision, it’s a responsibility, we don’t take for granted.
At Coombs ELC, we provide almost everything your child might need during their day. You will need to provide a water bottle clearly labeled with your childs name and a change of clothes as some activities can get messy. We want your child to feel as comfortable as possible, If they have comforters such as a dummy, sleeping bag or blanket, we recommend packing those too.
Yes of course, we understand this is such a huge decision in selecting childcare. We encourage you to book a tour and visit our centre to meet our wonderful team and check out our space. You can book a tour online or give us a call on (02) 6171 5399
