Young Academics Early Learning Centre - Smeaton Grange

Young Academics Smeaton Grange have been outstanding from their enrollments team to their educators, Across the board they are exceptionally well organized, kind and engaged in my child's needs.

This newly re-opened center at Smeaton Grange is clean, modern and vibrant. I like how the facility is well thought of, rooms separated to keep the ages apart, but structured so that the teachers are able to help each other out.

My soon to be 6 month old grandson has been enrolled here for around a month now and we absolutely love it. They are very flexible and have great hours. I can see the growth and learning every day! All of the educators are always smiling and welcoming when you walk in the doors, And best of all, the children seem very happy as well.

When I see my grandson interact with the other kids, they are attentive and share toys with him and give him hugs whenever he comes and goes. It’s very nice to know that he is in a caring environment while he isn’t home.

I love this place and so does my grandson. As a grandparent I really appreciate the staff being so flexible and caring, and the Director of center really cares about the children and works with the parents. I’m grateful for their hours as well, a facility opened for 11 hours really helps especially since not everyone works a 9-5 job.

Young Academics Smeaton Grange is a well run centre.
Having enrolled my children in various centres over the years, I have found Young Academics Smeaton Grange to exceed my expectations.
The moment my daughter arrives at the centre she is instantly at ease and excited to start her day of fun.
It is the infectious smiles and caring nature of the educators and manager that make all the difference.
The communication has always been consistent.
A heartfelt thank you for your patience, hard work and care.
I would definitely recommend this centre!

Young academics has been the best centre I have worked at in a long time and I have been in the industry since 2017. The management is so supportive. The director is the best director I have ever had in my career, super supportive and helps where she can. She is always on the floor assisting the educators and children even when there is plenty of staff in the centre. My team members are absolutely amazing to work with and also super supportive. Young academics want the best for their educators and children. I would highly recommend this centre to parents and other educators looking at centres!

This centre is the best!!!!
The staff are like no other!
Honestly I am so glad I have my baby with them. They listen to my thoughts and opinions, they’re attentive to my baby and they are always holding themselves and their centre to the highest standards.
These people are not only valuable educators but they treat us like family.
My son can’t speak yet but he runs in there every day so happy to be there and they always meet him with matched energy and enthusiasm.
I highly, HIGHLY recommend the Smeaton Grange Centre. They are an absolute testament to the business as a whole.

I have a now 19 month old who started attending this centre in January 2024. As anywhere, the first week is always the hardest for them with new routines and environment.

My child was able to attend the orientation days that were allocated to them and I feel that this time spent with the educators and in the room helped with the first week of daycare. Now, my child has made this centre a second home, a place that she feels safe and has built great connections with the educators in her room. Since commencing at this centre, my child has shown new skills that have been taught to her throughout her day.

As a parent, I am impressed with the communication that is provided by the team and daily updates on the app that they use. They encourage the parents to be involved in the goals for children that they want to achieve and to provide feedback on it. I feel the staff there have been extremely attentive towards the needs of my child and I am very happy with the way she has settled in there.

Thank you to the team at Young Academics - Smeaton Grange.

Young academics Smeaton Grange have been amazing. We have specific dietary requirements for our child that aren’t always easy to fulfill and they have always done everything that they can to help meet them. On top of that our little one is always happy to enter the centre and settled in very well making good relationships with the educators and other children. I would highly recommend this centre to anyone

Our daughter has gone here for 5 months now and this place is really Amazing ..!! She wasn't feeling good in the previous childcare but since enrolling here, she is HAPPY and constantly learning new things. The meal plan is well thought out and nutritious. The educators are warm and kind and are very passionate about working with children. Finding the right childcare was so important to us and we are really happy with our choice. I would highly recommend this centre ..!! Thank you so much Team Smeaton Grange ..!!

Here at Smeaton Grange we have a great supportive management team. All of our staff provide all of our children and families attending a warm, nurturing and fun learning environment where the children feel safe and secure to be themselves and learn. As a staff member I enjoy working at this service as I feel supported by my fellow staff members and management team, this company provides a lot of opportunities to all of there staff to further their knowledge and skills.

It’s been amazing as a first time mum starting at this Smeaton Grange centre
My son has been given the tools needed for him to excel in his personal development
The educators in the nursery are amazing, they communicate what he’s done throughout the day and if he needs anything worked on at home. The director is understanding and approachable as all queries I have or ask have been meet with the best information they can give, even if it’s information I need to be done at home. The newly revamped facilities are awesome and I love how all the rooms just flow into each other. I look forward to seeing my son excel and learn from this centre.

I enrolled my baby girl at YA after the re-opening of the centre. All the staff have been welcoming and supportive from the beginning. They are always willing to listen, follow my daughters schedule and attend to her needs as best as they can. The centre is amazing at seeking feedback and including family input when planning experiences at the centre. A special thanks to CJ, the babies room leader for being amazing with my daughter and building a relationship to ensure she feels comfortable and cared for while at the centre.

Since joining this centre, the educators have been so welcoming and eager to understand how they can support and foster care for our little one. Every time I drop her off she’s smiling and clapping hands in excitement, so I know she’s going to have a great day! She’s learned some of her major milestones at this centre, with the help of the wonderful educators. She just loves every day at Young Academics Smeaton Grange. We are very happy with the service and would highly recommended

This is the second childcare centre my son has attended, from the start at the open day we were blown away from not only the look of the centre but also how the educators presented themselves.
The educators at this centre have been amazing with their communication, the activities the children do, are easily approachable and are helpful with strategies to help the children.
Our last centre was another well known centre and we left feeling disheartened about the treatment our child received there, he was never happy and kept to himself. But when we got him into young academics he was so excited and happy to go after the first few weeks. He has came out of his shell and doing so much more at this centre even starting talking to the educators and peers then the last childcare, so we love it there and planning on enrolling our youngest.
It was the best decision we made towards
end of last year.

I’ve been so pleased with sending my kids to YA Center . The staff have definitely made them feel so comfortable and excited to attend each day. With having two children in two different age rooms, I get to experience the care and attention the educators give to children at different ages. The educators enjoy having my children at the centre and makes it easier to drop my children at the centre every day.

The team at Young Academics are amazing and a great team to work amongst. The centre manager is nothing short of amazing. The service is completely child focused and ensures the child's voice and needs are always put first!
Couldn't recommend a better place to work for a great and supportive environment

Great find for our 1.5year old daughter. Educators are well trained and they take very good care of the children.

Most importantly the child/educator ratio is just perfect to give me a piece of mind when I leave my angel to them.

I will give a 9/10 to them keeping a little room for improvement as always.

I have been enjoying working at the Smeaton Grange Young Academics centre! We have great management that do all that they can to take care of their team, working in the Nursery Room - I love connecting with my families and bonding with the team.

From the very first call Young Academics have been outstanding. Thier Enrollments team is exceptionally well organised, kind and deliver on what they promise.
The newly re-opened centre at Smeaton Grange is clean, modern and our child loves it so far.
We've just enrolled but can already tell that the teachers are kind, caring and knowledgeable, and the outdoor play area is great.
We are really looking forward to our child's education at this centre.

Our son loves the centre, the teachers are great with him and have been extremely patient with his melt downs as he adjusts to attending daycare for the first time
