My two babies spent a collective 6 years at the centre. We moved interstate and so my 3 year old started at a new centre.I knew the care and attention my babies received at the YA Narellan was good. My children bonded quickly and those bonds lasted the whole time they were there even when aging up and changing rooms. The core staff remained the same and were very dedicated. The Centre Manager Amber was always available to offer support. Although I only reached out once or twice for matters unrelated to the kids day to day care as the educators were responsive and professional.I am writing this because, while my 3 year old is in a great centre, it's the extras that YA Narellan offered that i didnt realised were "extras". The daily updates and stories via the app, the individual care for the child including things like nap schedules, routines and activities tailored directly to their interests. The academic side too cannot be faulted, my girl went into the gifted class in kindy and I commend the YA team for their effort on that!They say it takes a village to raise a child, I am grateful I had the YA Narellan team as part of my villiage when I lived in the area.Thanks team, we miss you! ❤️

My almost 3yo has been attending the centre since 10/2023 & my 6mo has been attending since the beginning of February 2024.The centre has embraced my children like family - it’s wonderful to see the loving relationships that the teachers and my children have formed.In the 6m he has been attending this centre my 3yo has grown and developed significantly (was previously at another centre) in terms of language, communication , emotional skills etc. Each week he suprises me with something new that he has learnt. A special thanks to Miss Shadae, Miss Beth and Miss Nicola who are responsible for his care.My little bub is continuing to settle into daycare & the love he has been shown makes me so comfortable taking him here each day. I greatly appreciate all the teachers who care for my baby, particularly Miss Shree, Miss Chloe and Miss Maddie.I would encourage anyone looking for a childcare centre for their children to consider YA Narellan. The care they show the children is exceptional & anytime I have reached out for information & to discuss my children they have given me their time.

Our daughter has been attending for several months now, right from 5 months old. In that time, we've seen the positive impact YA has on her, as she continues to hit her milestones. The educators are all great, really supportive and understanding. Our time with YA has been nothing short of amazing! Would highly recommend.

My daughter attends the centre, she really enjoys her time with her educators and the facilities. They go out of their way to welcome my daughter who is anxious any time she is left. Could not recommend young academics at narellan any higher.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️My son has been attending Young Academics Narellan since Oct 2022 5 days per week. The staff at YA are professional, caring and ALWAYS have time to have a chat at the end of the day in regards to my son. The staff have been super supportive of the needs of my son and treat him like family (which makes me feel at ease, knowing his well looked after). Amber (Centre Manager) has went out of her way to ask questions about culture, which has made me feel that my son’s culture will be inclusive into his day to day care.I could not be happier with the care of my son at this centre and want to put a special thank you to the staff who has treated him with the highest care and love.A special thanks to Salma, Maddie, Shree, Shadae, Amber and Renee for always being amazing!If you are looking for a family oriented daycare YA from my own experience is the centre for you.

Great staff, flexible and kind. I have two little ones in this centre and am so happy there. Both the babies room and the big kids preschool room. The staff work so hard and are always smiling and happy to help.

My child started in the under 2s room recently. I was previously hesitant to enrol due to poor reviews/word of mouth. However, our experience has been nothing but positive. The room is well organised and there is a clear routine. The staff are friendly and professional often asking questions about my child and giving information requested freely. Plenty of photo communication through easy to use app.

My daughter started attending young Academics at Narellan When she turned 9 months, I was extremely worried at the beginning, Letting go of your child into someone else's care is never easy especially at such a young age.But we found the most welcoming and very heart warming educators, they have so much care and love to share, my little one so happy to go there, and when we entering the room at the morning her big smile says everything.And just to give parents a peace of mind they always updating the journal with photos/ meals/ naps/ toileting. I think first of all, I have to thank the team for such a hard work and safe environment for my baby.

My girls are so happy at YA Narellan. The teachers are kind and the activities fun, lots of mess and sensory play. The director is super approachable and keen to problem solve any issues that arise. My girls are excited to go and often don’t want to leave so that says a lot!I took a star away because the centre does still struggle with inclusivity for my daughter with disability … they want to improve it’s just taking some time. They are however always open to conversation about how to adjust things.

Have had my daughter enrolled here for almost two years and have had a very positive experience. The educators are always loving and attentive towards her and there are a lot of opportunities for the kids to learn and get involved in a heap of different activities.

My eldest son has been attending this day care centre since November 2021 and we have had such a wonderful experience. There has neen many staff changeovers and that was a great cause for concern for me, however I feel that the communication provided in regards to the staff fluctuations and where the center is now, it has been navigated in the best way possible.
