Here’s what parents and carers are sharing on Google Reviews
I am so happy with all the admin support as well, especially during his transition to kindy by providing documents needed by primary school. Sam was so amazing and helpful a lot! Can’t thank her enough and all the team in Bardia Explores. Keep up the good work!! X
Explorer's learning academy was/is the complete opposite for us. Huge yard - amazing for kids to be outside exploring, running around and testing their own abilities. The educators are honestly beautiful, and all so lovely. Special credit to Sam who really brought my son out of his shell! I noticed a big change in him as soon as he started at explorer's. He made friends, brought home art and craft "masterpieces", brought home a lot more sand, dirt, bark and grass (means he had fun!), but also came home happily telling me about his day! I wholeheartedly believe that Explorer's assisted in his transition to kindy greatly, and I'm so relieved and glad that we made the decision to move them to this centre.
Our family appreciate the girls at Explorer's so much, and while there have been some staff that have left (as would all other centres) my kids have taken no time in adjusting to a new educator here and there, nor has it affected their happiness and eagerness to attend. My daughter's favourite tends to rotate between many educators, which tells me she's fond of more than just a few of the girls. Shout out to Kasey, Simone and Cristina for loving on my sensitive princess of a baby girl and making her ease into the centre without an issue in the beginning. I'm confident that when Baby #3 is ready to start, he will be well looked after and adored also!

🌿✨ What an Exciting Day at Explorers! ✨🌿
We started our morning with a warm and joyful family grouping, setting such a calm and welcoming tone for the day.
Building on last week’s love for gardening and cutting, our little green thumbs grabbed their scissors and headed into the garden to snip, trim and explore! With Miss Taryn’s guidance, the children practiced their cutting skills beautifully — showing so much confidence and care in using scissors safely.
Our plant treasures were then wheeled up to the mud kitchen, where imagination truly bloomed. Our children turned into master chefs, whipping up a delicious “breakfast” feast for Miss Taryn and Miss Emily using their freshly gathered goodies.
We love watching our curious learners turn simple experiences into magical moments of creativity and play!

Exciting News at Explorers Learning Academy!
Our children are absolutely quacking with excitement this week as we welcome some very special feathered friends into our centre!
We’ve been lucky enough to have ducks and chicks visiting us – and the children are watching the magic of life unfold as the eggs begin to hatch right before our eyes!
This hands-on experience is sparking so much curiosity, wonder and joy as our little explorers ask questions, make observations and gently care for our new friends. It’s a beautiful way to learn about life cycles, responsibility and empathy in a real-life context.
Stay tuned for updates as we meet more fluffy new arrivals over the next few days – we can’t wait to share the joy with you all!
