Jellybeans Child Care Wellard

My son has be going to this centre since it opened early 2017 and he absolutely loves it! It is a purpose built centre so the facilities are amazing. It has a very light & fresh feel and my son especially loves the outdoor play area. Foodwise - they have a qualified chef, who has convinced my son to try things he refused at home! She takes the time out of her day to greet us every morning. The staff are very friendly and the communication is excellent - we love the KindyHub app which allows us a glimpse into what they do each day. Tegan, my son’s room leader, is awesome! The centre manager, Sara, goes above and beyond and really makes the place what it is. My school-aged daughter attended during her holidays and is always begging to go back! Highly recommend this centre to all!!!

Both my kids have gone through here. Excellent staff; great, well maintained facility; convenient; focus on service; attentive care, and structured education have been my experience. Highly recommended.

Honestly I can’t say enough about this centre, these girls are all so hardworking and u can clearly see that they love being around children and they put them first every time. Our girl has been with this centre for over a year and a half and Annie, Emily, Mikenzie, Sharon just to make a few have become a big part of our family by giving our daughter the best care possible and supporting her learning and development! Thank you so much girls ❤️

Jellybeans Wellard is an excellent childcare centre, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone in the local area.Our daughter loves going each week, and is always excited when it’s “daycare day”. They do so many fun and interesting things. Plus they have a wonderful nature play area outside for the children to enjoy.As a parent, the daily report is a great insight into what my child has done that day, and is something I’ve not had at any of the other daycare centres we’ve attended in the past. I also love that they have a communal dining area for the children, away from their rooms, separating mealtime and playtime. The staff are caring, friendly and always willing to help. We’re very glad we decided to move her to Jellybeans, and can’t wait for our youngest son to start there later this year.

Due to my work hours my daughter as at the centre pretty much right on opening times and the girls are always happy and welcoming at drop off, She loves going to daycare and the educators in her room adore her! Knowing she is so comfortable with her educators definitely made going back to work that little bit easier.Would definitely recommend jellybeans wellard!

Started using Jellybeans about 5 years ago for my son and found them really good, the carers were really engaging and you could see they cared about the kids, the place was clean and I felt comfortable leaving my son there. Contrast that with our more recent experiences when our daughter attended. Cleanliness took a nose dive, my daughter would regularly come home in a dirty nappy, red raw from nappy rash. We were buying socks and shoes for her on a regular basis and they would constantly go missing. She would come home in other kids clothes despite having plenty of changes of clothes in her bag. Prices constantly going up and the quality of service plummeting. She seemed to have a new carer every few days. The end came when we got a phone call to tell us our daughter had been left unsupervised in her room for an indeterminate amount of time. Only realised when a parent came to tell them. We got a phone call and initially they tell us it was for no longer than 2 minutes, next thing they say we've investigated it and it could have been 10 minutes, in the end they said it could have been up to 20 minutes which basically confirmed they didn't have a clue how long she was there. We were lucky that the other parent found her. To add insult to injury it wasn't even the centre manager who called us to tell us and when we tried to have a sit down with the manager to discuss what was going on she was nowhere to be found, any time we tried to contact her she wasn't there, had gone home early and ignored any requests for a call back. We felt helpless as there aren't a lot of available options for places in other childcare centres but leaving her there was no longer an option. It is my understanding that the centre now has a new manager so I hope for the sake of the families that use their facilities that their standards improve but my daughter won't be going back.

Jellybeans Wellard has been the most amazing Centre for my little boy. I find it very hard to leave Tyler with someone I trust, but at Jellybeans Wellard I trust all of the staff! They are absolutely amazing with him and make him feel so at home and comfortable. The food co-ordinator is amazing and Tyler absolutely LOVES her food. The Centre Manager Sara always goes above and beyond to cater for our needs, and the staff send me daily updates and photos of him and how he has been for the day. The photos are great, and I get a full picture of his entire day. Couldn't recommend them highly enough. You will absolutely love it here!

6-12 months ago, I would have given this place a 5 star. My son had been in since January 2022 (nursery) and we loved it. I have since removed my child from the centre in the last month as there was a lot of concern and worry leaving him there while I went to work. Management do not listen (they tell you what they think you “want to hear”) but don’t listen. The cleanliness is concerning and the staff turn over is very bad (6-7 staff resigning and going to other local centers in a matter of 2 months). I was constantly asking about their child to educator ratio, if they were compliant it would have only been just and probably based on “under roof” and not by room. That’s just the start of my list. I don’t recommend sending your child here till they make some big changes.

We could not be happier with Jellybeans Wellard. From the inquiry stage, Steph and Jess were always friendly, helpful and reassuring. This is the feeling of this centre. All of the ladies are always so happy and our 21 month old just loves going to school" everyday. The activities are based on the curriculum and our son has developed in leaps and bounds. The centre itself is beautiful and they are constantly changing the rooms to keep the children stimulated. The Xplore app is great

Our daughter's experience here was wonderful, she was always excited to attend. We are very grateful for the care and education provided by the management and staff at jellybeans, Wellard.
