Uniting Ella Early Learning Haberfield

Uniting Ella is a very special place to our son. He looks forward to his daycare days, loves all the teachers, and has such a lovely time he never wants to leave!

Both of my kids go to Ella and we couldn't be happier! They have amazing outdoor area , chickens, freshly made healthy lunches... and beautiful community feel ❤

A wonderful learning environment for children with caring and supportive educators. The natural outdoor space and community feel is really unique among inner west centres as far as I’ve seen.

Lovely educators who are caring and experienced.

Amazing educators, such a great community. Highly recommended.

Ella was not the right fit for our family. My daughter attended for just under a year and while there we found the educators to be inflexible and quite stern at times. There was pressure exerted to toilet train my daughter during winter. I told them we would wait until the warmer months but they continued to place pressure. When we did finally toilet train in the summer it only took a week! Glad I didn't bow to the pressure. The children also watch tv everyday as 'part of the curriculum' which is not great. They also had difficulty in showing empathy and compassion due to my family's difficult life circumstances despite being run by a charitable organisation. We've also seen some of the educators raising their voices at other parents and the children. Not great at all. Some parents love this centre and others we know have had a similarly challenging experience. Ella simply wasn't for us. We prefer a kinder, flexible, and more child centred focus. We've since moved to another local centre and are far far happier, so too is our daughter who is thriving!
