Meet our Centre Manager

My name is Vanessa, it’s my pleasure to be part of the growing community with so many wonderful developments that surround us.

The Hive Fairfield is situated amongst a dynamic and yet unique community. And with that, a team of educators who treasure every moment of a child’s life while being a part of that beautiful journey.

My experience in childcare and, in general ‘education’ at all levels (from infant to adults), the passion to work with children, educators, teachers, and families continues to keep me inspired because while every day challenges are inevitable, so are the opportunities that allow us all to make a difference in the lives of the children who are in our care.

I am confident that on behalf of the team, educators, teachers, and other staff including our extended Management team who frequents the Centre from time to time, will endeavour to work collaboratively to make a difference in the lives of amazing, and unique children we have at the Hive Fairfield.

We welcome you to be part of our amazing Centre and invite you to book a tour.

The center truly lives up to its name—a nurturing hive that provides a highly conducive environment for growing “Ba-bees” (babies). The organization demonstrates a genuine passion for designing meaningful learning opportunities that support each child's development according to their individual level and ability. The warm and welcoming presence of the Center Director, Vanessa, along with the rest of the dedicated staff, creates a positive and uplifting atmosphere throughout every room. As a member of the team, I have always felt supported, respected, and genuinely cared for by the management, which made my experience all the more fulfilling.

The Hive Fairfield has been an excellent opportunity for my journey in this industry. Since arriving last year, I have been embraced by a welcoming and supportive environment. I am fortunate to work alongside a dedicated staff who are always ready to lend a hand. Vanessa, our exceptional centre director, consistently checks in on both the children and families, ensuring that everyone feels valued. Additionally, Amjum plays a vital role in guiding students on their placements, helping them maximise their experiences. It's truly a fantastic place to grow and thrive in my career.

The Hive Fairfield has been such a great place for my child. The care, attention, and genuine warmth shown by the director, Vanessa, and the educators made it clear from the start that my child was in a loving and supportive environment where they could truly thrive. My child has also been enjoying the delicious, in-house prepared meals every day, and we love receiving the daily photos and updates that keep us connected with their experiences. Every day when I pick them up, they’re full of smiles—and sometimes don’t even want to leave! It’s clear they feel safe, happy, and confident. Even after moving up to the next classroom, they’ve continued to feel just as comfortable, excited, and enthusiastic about going to daycare, which really speaks to the consistency and dedication of the entire team. I’m so thankful for this incredible team who go above and beyond every day to nurture and support my little one. I couldn’t recommend The Hive Fairfield more highly to any parent.

I was initially apprehensive about placing my son, Gabriel, into any form of childcare. However, my concerns quickly dissipated thanks to the exceptional care and warmth provided by the educators at The Hive, particularly Vanessa. From the very first day, I could see that Gabriel was not only receiving the attention and reassurance he needed but also thriving in a loving environment. Every time I pick him up, he is bright, bubbly, and excited about his time spent at The Hive. It’s clear that he feels safe, happy, and eager to return each day. I am incredibly grateful for the dedication and passion the staff show in nurturing and supporting my little one. Thank you so much for all that you do for Gabriel. I wholeheartedly recommend The Hive to any parent seeking a truly exceptional childcare experience. Five stars! 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟

We’ve had a consistently positive experience with the Hive ELC. The director, Vanessa, is clearly a seasoned professional and herself a parent. Her patience and empathy is boundless and nothing is too much trouble. Highly recommend the Hive ELC in Fairfield.

My children moved to the Hive early this year from another centre. The team at The Hive made them both feel so welcome and comfortable during the orientation period, which made for a calm and smooth transition (for us and the kids!).

We’ve been very happy with The Hive Fairfield and would recommend it to families in the area. We started our eleven-month old in their Nursery 1 room in 2023 and haven’t had any issues since. Communication is clear and regular, from standard daily updates (food, sleep, nappies, photos), weekly room activity plans, day summaries, to individual child care plans/learning summaries, centre updates and weekly fee invoices. In addition, Vanessa and Lyn are very approachable and happy to answer questions and clarify concerns. Room activities are varied and the educators lovely and engaging. Despite moving into older rooms, past educators will always say hello and remain engaging with our toddler. We will happily be staying at The Hive for the remainder of our time in the pre-school care and education system.

The Hive ELC in Fairfield is the best decision we have made for our daughter. The property has large, bright, open spaces. The outdoor areas are lovely and green. The educators are extremely attentive to the children, provide a safe space for learning and fun, and all the children love them. The care they have for our daughter is like she’s their own. Our daughter loves going there every day and seeing her development over the year has been phenomenal. Daily activities are varied, providing interest for the babies, are well thought out, and we just love seeing photos of what she’s up to each day. I honestly could not recommend a daycare more. I fully entrust in their genuine care and support for our daughter. Thank you Vanessa, and all the educators in Nursery 1 and 2!

Our children have been going to the hive Fairfield for over a year now. They love it. It’s such a caring environment, the staff are so thoughtful and provide a fun, engaging, energetic and supportive environment for them. It means a lot to me to know that when I pick them up they’ll be smiling and happy. There is excellent communication from the staff and the team have always been really accommodating for requests and changes I’ve needed to make to the kids days there.

The Hive is amazing. The staff are wonderful and I trust them implicitly with our little girl who has been attending since before she turned one. It may not look as glitzy as some of the other ELC’s I the area but it is really all about the staff and their care for the kids. Highly recommend

Hive Fairfield can’t recommend them enough . The staff are so caring, friendly and help me with tough situations when my child doesn’t want to leave me making her feel safe and happy. When I pick my child up she always states she’s had the best time. The facilities are 5 star with many learning opportunities for children.
