Happy Hearts Early Learning Centres Reviews

When having my first child I had no idea what to expect when it came to putting him into childcare so I can go back to work. After visiting multiple centres, we decided on happy hearts and I’m so glad I did! The team are attentive, lovely and genuinely care about the kids and that shows with the way the kids love them! Never once have I had to worry about what’s happening during the day, any issues if any are raised immediately and dealt with in a manner that respects the child and us as parents. My 7 month old gets so excited when we pull into the carpark and wiggles with excitement when we enter his room. He’s absolutely thriving at Happy Hearts and I couldn’t thank the team enough 💚🧡

After having a really difficult experience with a previous centre and an extremely unhappy child, daycare drop-offs became something I genuinely dreaded, to the point I stopped working for a period of time so my child didn’t have to attend daycare. After visiting several centres, we found Happy Hearts and it’s been the best decision we’ve made. We’ve now been here for 18 months, and it has been nothing short of amazing. The teachers are so warm, caring, and genuinely love the kids. The environment feels welcoming from the moment you walk in, and the difference in my child has been incredible. A child who used to scream at drop-off, now runs into daycare excited and happy to be there. The owners are lovely, and every staff member we’ve encountered has been fantastic.

We had our daughter in the infant room for a year before we sadly had to move due to moving suburbs. The staff there were amazing with our girl! Our daughter has challenges meeting her physical milestones due to a condition but the staff went above and beyond to support her. Forever grateful for the role they have all played in my daughter’s life!!

We absolutely LOVE Happy Hearts. We transitioned our 2.5 year old from a different daycare to Happy Hearts and we couldn’t be happier. The staff genuinely care about our little one. The impact they have made on him has been incredible. I don’t think I can put into words how grateful we are. I highly recommend checking out Happy Hearts and sending your children here.

We absolutely loved our time at Happy Hearts! Both of my kids started there at age 3—my son went from Room 2 to Room 3 and thrived thanks to the patient, caring teachers. They really helped with his school transition too, which made a big difference. My daughter started in Room 2 and took a little while to settle, but the support and encouragement from the teachers were amazing. She grew so much in confidence and absolutely loved it. We’ve since moved out of Riverhead, but I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Happy Hearts to any family. The team there is truly special!

We chose Happy Hearts for the vibrancy and creativity on offer! It's a wonderful environment for exploration and growth too, especially when it comes to preparation for school and we couldn't have asked for a better foundation for our child.

It is the first time that we send our little Felipe to a child care center and we decided to trust "Happy Heart" Red Beach because they give us confidence and security for our little treasure, in addition to the love they give to our son. We are very happy.

We have been at Happy Hearts Red Beach for 2 years now, our son has been in the babies, toddler and now preschool room and absolutely loves it. The staff are warm, friendly and so caring, the facilities and equipment are clean and tidy. It’s great to see all the creative play stations set up in the mornings, and we love hearing and seeing updates of what they got up to during the day via the app. I feel very comfortable and at ease sending my son here and shortly our newest addition. Highly recommend this centre 😊

I have had 3 kids at this centre from 2017 and still have one there today! I feel so happy and comfortable to leave my kids at the centre as John, Alina and the teachers are just amazing! The kids are treated as individuals and are cared for like it’s their second home. My kids had a blast in room 2 with so much art and songs coming home. The teachers are so loving and patient! The transition to school programme in room 3 is fantastic for the kids and preps them before they start school. My kids had such a good head start with reading and writing even before school! I would Highly recommend this centre to anyone!!!

Can't recommend this daycare enough! Took our little boy on so quickly and have been nothing but amazing with him. All staff are so friendly and take the best care with each child. Love the book they fill in daily to let us know what our little one enjoyed that day, what interesting delicious meals he had and any important notes needed. Very grateful for everyone at Happy Hearts

Safe friendly place for kids … they have been very accomodating. We struggled emotionally to get our lil one to join daycare when she was 1 and they understood. We came back when she was 2 when we felt ready and now the lil one loves it there.

My daughter is 10 months old and started at Happy Hearts a couple of months ago, she absolutely loves it. The teachers are really caring and kind there, and meet her every need. They take the time to understand the different needs, and different communication styles of each child. I looked high and low for an amazing daycare and couldn’t be happier with the care she is receiving. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a day care.
