Welcome to Apple Blossoms Early Learning
Hello and Welcome to Apple Blossoms Early Learning.
When choosing child care we understand how important it is when deciding who to entrust your child to. Our aim is to provide the very best of what we feel are the most important things families need.
We have a very strong focus on nutrition – our resident naturopath has tailored high quality, nutrient rich food especially for growing young people.
Our education philosophy draws from the Reggio Emilia and Montessori approach in developing our own program for readying your child for school.
Environments, both inside and outside, are the engine rooms of your child’s learning. We have carefully designed these areas where children can explore and research their ideas – just through play.

Very Satisfied with them. We were struggling to find a good child care who actually care for your child and especially Food as well. and one of my colleague Suggest me Apple Blossoms and I am happy to say that My 19 month old Daughter Loves her School. We surprised that even on the weekend she says "Go" and she stopped crying even when we drop her. I must say she feels very comfortable there and established a bonding with her educators. I never find these much friendly staff. They are the Best Child care we ever found My Daughter loves there and she eats well too and come home Very happy. Thank God I find this Child Care for my Lil daughter. 🙂 Thank you Girls!. She is in Baby-2 Room.

We only recently enrolled our daughter at Apple Blossoms having come from another centre. The change in my daughter has been amazing! She is happy to be dropped off and always happy when i pick her up in the afternoon. I know she's had a great day as she is usually in no rush to leave! Not to mention all the activities the staff organise for the children to aid their development. I love getting the updates on what they've been up to during the day.
The staff are friendly and welcoming and made us feel at ease from day one. Couldn't be happier!

My 2 ½ year old daughters have been attending Apple Blossoms for only a few short months but are already so settled and confident which to me speaks so highly of this beautiful centre and the lovely staff! Everyone is so welcoming and as soon as we walked in the door for a tour I immediately felt calm and knew this was the centre for us!! Highly recommend to all 😊

I have two children at Apple blossoms and it is hands down the most loving nurturing centre I have had the pleasure of using.
My toddler comes home happy and content from his fun filled days. The variation of indoor and outdoor activities are brilliant. From painting to baking they are constantly being stimulated. Not to mention the delicious food on offer, cooked and prepared on-site.
My baby is always cuddled and adores all the educators. I am kept in form with all her daily routines through a lovely app called story park.
I highly recommend this centre to anyone in the area. I will continue my children at this centre until they are ready for school.
The staff are so supportive to the parents and their concerns and anxieties of leaving their young ones. Always there to lend a ear and nothing is too much trouble.
What you waiting for... Get your treasures enrollled in the Apple Blossoms family

Both my children have attended Apple blossoms. They love attending.
My youngest is in kinder and can't stop talking about the wonderful adventures she has each day.
The room is well planned out with lots of different activities and she is learning so much.
The teachers and leaders in the rooms are very caring and compassionate taking into consideration each child's needs for learning and growth.
The smell of food cooking each morning makes me jealous that I'm not eating here too.
Such a wonderful place to send your children and would recommend this centre to everyone.

Apple Blossoms has been the best experience for my 2 year old. In just a few short months he has become a strong out going little boy who loves going and loves the girls that work there! Staff like Nicole and Olga keep us up to date with how he goes and do everything they can to make him comfortable and happy! As parents We could not be happier!!!

Could not speak highly enough of this childcare centre. From the enthusiastic, genuine care our children receive. To the nutritional foods provided. Leaving both our children at a childcare centre full time was a decision that my partner and I did not take lightly. The friendly staff made the process so much easier with their knowledgeable answers to all our ridiculous questions and kind, nurturing demeanor with the kids (even when we sneak in and they think they aren't being watched).

I have two kids at Apple blossoms, one in the baby room and one in the toddler room. We have come from two centres before Apple blossoms. I just wish I’d found apple blossoms sooner instead of wasting my time at other centres! I honestly can’t rave enough about the girls in both rooms. They go above and beyond to make sure my kids feel loved and have fun. These two things were very important to my partner and I with childcare because our kids will be in full time care. The food is amazing and the centre is very clean. I show up at different times unannounced to pick up my kids and I always find them cuddling, smiling and playing with my son in the baby room and playing, reading, dancing or doing a different activity in the toddler room. They go to a lot of effort setting up lots of different activities every day to keep the kids from ever getting bored. 5 stars from us!! Will never take my kids anywhere else

Apple Blossom has caring staff and a clean, calm environment which caters to the kids senses wonderfully. Great, healthy food and positive mindset. My son has made great friends and enjoys the variety of activities on offer

My child had attended this place for almost a year and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. The only reason we didn't get... out sooner is lack of childcare availability in the area.
Regular violation of the children-to-staff ratios - so many times I had to stay with my child, being late for work, because the nursery room had 15 kids and 3 carers. The centre used to have temporary agency staff during drop off, so the babies in the nursery didn't get a chance to get attached to their carers.
Over the 10 months that my child has been here we've seen 4 nursery room leaders, 5 (not a typo) centre directors and I've lost count how many new carers. When the carers resigned, we were often notified on their last day, if at all.
When my child was still learning to walk, one of the carers has left him to walk down a wooden staircase unassisted. This resulted in my child falling down, getting a concussion and grazing the skin off a half of his nose. As far as I was made aware, there was no change in policies or procedures as a result of this.
Most carers in the toddler room can barely speak English. They would call me during the day to say that my child fell down and hit his head and they had trouble explaining how it happened, having to ask other staff to continue the conversation. It was very hard to get a summary of how the day went during the pick up for this reason as well.
I have voiced my concerns several times to the centre directors, the area manager and one of the owners, but always received the same promises that they'd hire new staff very soon and it'll all change for the better. The reality is that unfortunately it only got gradually worse with time.
If you are considering this place, I suggest asking how many directors they had in the past year and how many carers had left.read more

We have had our 14 month old son at Apple Blossom's for 5 weeks now and we couldn't be happier! The staff are always... friendly and attentive to the parents and child's needs and requests. It has a beautiful natural feel and the food menu is very impressive and nutritious. Our little guy is developing quickly and we see him acquiring new skills everyday which we largely attribute to the care and encouragement he receives at Apple Blossoms. The outdoor area in the nursery is really lovely, with waterplay and a little sand pit and a sun/rain cover to protect the little one's from all types of weather. The outdoor area for older kids is absolutely lovely, with beautiful trees and waterplay and chooks! Our son will adore this when he is old enough. We felt very supported and confident with the orientation process. Whenever we call to check on our son it is never any trouble and the staff are always happy to give us the time. Thank you guys, great job!!! Michelleread more

My bub was enrolled in a different centre but was v disappointed at.many things I observed from my bub's first... orientation in the last centre. I brought my bub for her first orientation here and she stayed for lunch and explored the nursery room for 3 hrs on her own. No dramas. She loved the space and the lil outdoor space with the sandpit especially. She was comfortable with the staff too. Staff are v caring and concerned for her and me. The director was amazing! Very hands on very concerned for families. This centre is willing to work with families and their needs. The most amazing natural outdoor space near the city. If you're living in an apartment in the city and are looking for a different centre which values nature, sustainability and nutrition, this centre is a great centre to have a look at. Definitely not your average centre. A must visit, if you're scouting for good centres to place your little one in compared to all the modern plastic, no outdoor centres.read more

Our son who is now 2.5 years old has been joining Apple Blossoms in South Melbourne since May. We are very happy with... the centre and all the staff. Most of the time he looks forward to school and doesn't want to go home when I pick him up. Sarah, Lynette and rest of the team are doing a great job in keeping children happy, healthy, and guiding social interactions among the children in the right direction. Staff are warm, attentive, and nature-loving people that you can see from activities they do with children. The centre has natural light-filled indoor rooms and a fabulous outdoor space that children actually get to use it everyday, even in winter.read more
