Avenues Early Learning Centre - Runcorn Heights

We enrolled our first daughter at Avenues Runcorn Heights back in 2019 after I had only taken six months of parental leave and urgently needed a childcare service near Sunnybank Hills. After visiting more than six centres, this one truly stood out. The centre was exceptionally clean and well-maintained, and the educators were warm, genuine, and incredibly supportive. A special mention goes to the centre manager - Miss Donna whose deep knowledge of early childhood education and willingness to patiently answer every question gave us great confidence. We joined the waitlist and were very fortunate to secure a place for our daughter. During the COVID period, the management team remained approachable and maintained very high hygiene standards, which gave us peace of mind. Before our second daughter was born, we added her to the waitlist, and she was able to join the nursery at just five months old. The teachers cared for her with so much love and attention, it truly felt like they treated her as their own. Over the past 7 years, the centre has continued to improve including major renovations such as repainting and upgrading the playground. They also create a strong sense of community by hosting celebrations for events like Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Easter and Christmas, always inviting families to be part of these special moments. The food is another highlight, freshly prepared and absolutely delicious, thanks to Miss Anise. Both of our daughters loved it. The educators are also very attentive when children are unwell, always calling promptly and providing helpful guidance. Now that both of our daughters are in primary school, they still love going back to visit their teachers. That says everything - children remember those who genuinely care for them. We are incredibly grateful to all the wonderful educators at this centre. It has truly felt like an extension of our family. Thank you!
