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 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
