Ashdale Early Learning Centre
The Y Ashdale Early Learning Centre is committed to providing the highest quality education and care to support your child to flourish.
The facility was purpose built by the the Y, creating spacious and vibrant environments aimed at encouraging play and learning. The service is located on the school grounds at Ashdale Primary School, helping to provide a smooth transition into schooling.
The centre offers 55 places for children from birth to 5 years and we have a child health nurse on site 4 days a week. We have a central meeting place where the children come together to share their meals – we call it our “Piazza” – meaning a place to meet. The children enjoy real grass, water pumps, logs, trees, outdoor kitchenettes, rock pits, vegetable and flower gardens. We serve nutritious home-style food, which made each day on site from our food-coordinator and our fees are affordable.
Alongside this, we have recently expanded our offering to now provide before and after school care for children aged 5 to 12 who attend Ashdale Primary School!

- My son has learnt a lot from the Y Ashdale. Great staff and a pleasant environment for kids to stay. Thank you.

- Ashdale is a fantastic centre. My kids love the carers and they truly have learnt so much. Highly recommend
- My daughter goes to the Darch centre and is cared for over 3 full days. I have found the centre management and its carers to be very warm and welcoming and always sensitive to my daughters needs on each day as these can be different each time we visit depending on how her night was or even her start to the day. We always get a warm welcome and Amelie really feels part of a large loving family when she’s at the centre and has made some lovely little friends. I really love having the updates and pictures in the record book and especially enjoy the learning outcomes updates I get from time to time. - Dominique

- My child has attended Ashdale ELC for the past year and in that time I have always felt extremely comfortable leaving her. The educators are caring, friendly and passionate. I know my child is very happy there and feels safe and secure at the service. - Jo

Fabulous center! From the first day we took a tour, to my daughter being enrolled this center has been nothing but amazing. The staff are very caring, attentive and knowledgeable. Very impressed with the updates and communication (including photos) which allows me to check in and see how she’s going throughout the day. My daughter has made a great bond with her educators which makes me really happy to see that she is comfortable, happy and safe in her space. Highly recommend! -Zainab
