Kingsville Childcare

My baby Maeve was looked after, loved and cared very very well specially by Miss Anna from the Nursery room 🤍. I'm so glad that she's so happy, playing and doing activities at this daycare. Can't thank you enough!

The educators at the Hive Kingsville are so caring and welcoming that the kids don’t look twice when we drop them off, they’re always so excited to go and they are always happy on pickup at the end of the day. A great team!

Very welcoming atmosphere and the staff is super friendly and helpful to integrate your little one into the daycare/kinder. The Hive gives us a very homely feeling and we will be sending our second child there as well.

Wonderful educators and staff, couldn’t recommend enough. The staff are very supportive and always willing to help in anyway. Thank you to Sai, Neha, Anh and Dimple! And all staff that have helped along our little one’s journey.

We are so thankful for our experience at The Hive over the past 3 years. Thankyou to all the wonderful educators- sai, Neha, Anh, Anna, Mama Ghie, Himasha, Dimple, Toula and so many other of the wonderful people who work there. Our children are always so happy when we pick them up. They love the group activities and story time, plus the local excursions are a favourite for them. The Hive has been amazing for our 5 year old son who loves structure and routine- the daily kinder routine has helped him feel so safe and get ready for primary school! Thankyou Hive staff, we’ll miss you so much. The Holden Family.

Both my kids are at this centre. We love it! This is one of the best childcares in the area that is well-run with a contented crew working in an environment that is friendly and welcoming for the kids. I know some childcares don’t quite have a good education program, but these guys do. To add, screens are not or rarely used for education which is great. I heard from other parents some centres have it on a lot. Their management takes feedback seriously. They put in the effort during special occasions like Father’s Day, Mother’s Day, Halloween, etc. Oh! And the food is pretty good. The menu and recipes are shared with us parents.

The Hive Early Learning Centre Kingsville has been incredible for our daughter over the past two years. The entire team is caring, trustworthy, and genuinely invested in every child. We have made wonderful friends and truly feel part of a special community. We would recommend the Hive to any family looking for a supportive, welcoming and high-quality early learning centre.

So thankful for the learning, love and care that all the teachers and staff gave our son at The Hive! He has thrived and we can see the difference that his time there has made. Beautiful memories and wonderful friendships!

We are so happy with The Hive Early Learning Centre Kingsville and the wonderful team of educators. (Sai, Anna, Ana, Ghie (Centre Cook) ,Karla, Kelly, Emma, and all the teachers and educators, even those we haven’t mentioned by name) After a couple of months, once our son settled, he has felt safe, welcomed, and excited to come in. The educators are warm, caring, and attentive, and it’s clear they genuinely love what they do. The learning program is fantastic, with lots of opportunities for play, creativity, and skill-building. My son has grown so much in his confidence, independence, and social skills since starting here. I really appreciate the regular updates and photos that keep us connected to his daily experiences. Our son has now been at this centre for almost two years. The centre is always clean, safe, and inviting, and I feel completely at ease knowing he is in such great hands. Thank you to the whole team for creating such a nurturing and positive environment — we couldn’t ask for a better childcare centre! Thank you very much again for looking after our son. We really appreciate it. 🙏 💌

The Hive has been amazing. As first time parents we’ve felt safe and supported. Sending our son there has been a great decision. He’s grown and learnt so much from the awesome staff in the Nursery room (especially Kelly!)

It’s a Vibe at the Hive 🕺 Our daughter loves her days at The Hive - particularly the singing and dancing! The educators are warm, caring, and very creative — it’s clear they genuinely care about every child. We’ve seen our daughter grow in confidence and curiosity since starting, and we feel very lucky to be part of such a nurturing community.

We have had such a positive experience with our son in the nursery room at The Hive. It is clear the educators are really passionate about what they do. He loves all of the educators and the structured activities they do each day. Special shoutout to Kelly who gives the biggest smile everyday, and who our son loves. The meals prepared are nutritious and healthy with recipes developed by the in house cook (who also shares her recipes in a cook book!)

We’ve had a very positive experience with The Hive Early Learning Centre Kingsville. The staff are very friendly and caring, especially Kelly! They always greet us with a smile. The center is very clean, well-organised and feels safe and welcoming. Our child enjoys going every day and always comes home happy. It’s clear the team puts a lot of effort into making it a great place for kids. Highly recommended!

Fantastic facility. Each of my 3 sons have attended the Hive and the educators at the centre have always been warm and welcoming and pay great attention to the children. Special mention to Ariane and the staff in the nursery who have been amazing with helping our 1 year old settle in so well at the centre.

My son has been attending the Nursery for 4 months at The Hive in Kingsville. He enjoys his time at daycare and participates in lots of enriching activities. We get regular updates (including photos) and care is taken around allergies. Most importantly, the staff are kind and take great care of the children. He is always happy to see the educators upon arrival.

Our son is so happy there. Ms Ariane and Ms Kelly do a wonderful job in the baby room. It gives us such peace of mind to know he is so well taken care of. All of the staff are so welcoming and know the name of every child. We are very happy with the Hive.

Very warm and friendly atmosphere. Wonderful educators and my son loves going there! Highly recommend.

Our daughter has spent the last four months at the Hive. She was the youngest in the Nursery, and the staff, particularly the Nursery educators, provided her with exceptional care and attention. I always find the atmosphere pleasant when I drop her off and pick her up, and the staff are friendly and approachable.

Our kids love going to the hive and we love that they are so well cared for everyday. With great nutritional food, activities and educators it’s the best daycare experience we’ve ever had! Highly (highly) recommend!

Every morning our daughter receives the best cuddles (sometimes group hugs!) from the wonderful educators at the Hive Kingsville and just feels so happy, comfortable and loved there. They have great differentiation for different age groups, but the kids also get a chance to all play together in the late afternoon. Love that they have heaps of outdoor time, structured activities but also free play. We couldn’t feel luckier to have found such a supportive daycare.

We love sending our little one to Hive with the warm and nurturing educators who have made us feel safe and welcome since day one. We like that it's a smaller centre and staff feel like family even though bub's only been there for a few months. We appreciate that Hive are proactive, responsive to changing needs and have always been easy to communicate with (both management and educators on the floor). As first time parents it's given us a lot of reassurance and confidence that our little one is in good hands. We'll be sad to leave the Hive community when we move away from the area!

Our son has been going to The Hive for a couple of years and absolutely loves it. Lovely educators, good programming, lots of resources in the rooms and a generally friendly atmosphere. The sportsbuzz program is also popular with our son.

Our son has been attending the centre for almost 2 years after pulling him out of another centre. Our experience couldnt be more positive. We love the centre’s kind & thoughtful educators & staff members who feel like family. The centre’s facilities are clean & well maintained. We love the weekly incursions & care taken to the children’s activites - so much variety. A beautiful community & looking forward to having our son there for years to come.

Both our children attend The Hive Kingsville and they love it. We are so pleased that we were able to get places at The Hive and we find all educators and staff absolutely marvellous. Jo, Jessica are great with communication and always do what they can to accomodate the requests of all families; the team do everything they possibly can to make the centre inviting, comfortable, caring, enjoyable and inspiring for the children.

We have been at the Hive almost 3 years and all of the educators are amazing. The menu is excellent and we are very happy with the quality of care provided to our boys. Highly recommend.

Wonderful centre. Has a really nice family vibe. The staff are so lovely and the communication is great!

We have just started this year at The Hive and have felt very welcomed from the first day. My little one has settled in well and I believe that has been down to the truly warm and kind educators she has had in the nursery room, they know what they are doing!

Highly recommend The Hive Kingsville! We like that is is a smaller center with very caring educators.

Great neighbourhood centre. The kids are so well looked after and we always get lots of updates about what activities they have been doing during the day. The carers are kind and very friendly.

The most wonderful team, highly professional who take so much care, effort and pride in their centre. Our children couldn't be better looked after. Highly recommend.

We've had lots of experience with child care centres in Yarraville and Prahran. The Hive is the perfect size – not too big so that children go without, but not too small that they can't blend in – so that our third child has had a wonderful time here from the nursery to the kindergarten rooms. Care and attention at every level, and a wonderful team of educators and administrators. Thank you!

Could not be happier with the staff & facilities. My little one loves it & is growing every single day. Amazing.

Excellent learning centre with enthusiastic staff who are dedicated to the well being and development of the kids! Can't recommend highly enough!

If you are looking for a warm, welcoming and inclusive place to send your child - look no further. My daughter has attended The Hive and I have been consistently impressed with their care and attention - from the farm animals to the arts and crafts - the children's days are full of colour and movement. The Hive is a much sought-after childcare venue in the area - they beautifully integrate play with education and have a lovely philosophy when it comes to keeping parents updated throughout the day.

My family’s home away from home. No staff turnover and attentive and responsive programming. Always clean and great communication.

Terrific staff who absolutely love the kids!

Recommended. Really lovely, caring staff.
