Welcome to Cambridge Early
Learning Centre!

Cambridge Early Learning Centre is a community early childhood centre catering for children from birth until school age.

"An asset the community is proud of"

If you are looking for the ideal early childhood centre for your child we are proud to offer The Castle which provides an environment that is welcoming, warm and friendly for children from young infancy until 3 years of age. Experienced teachers who are nurturing and supportive work within our dedicated Nursery Room (for 0-18 months) as well as our Toddler's Room (for 18 months-3 years).

In August 2006 The Pagoda was opened, this is a purpose built environment catering for children aged 3 to 5 years of age.  The Pagoda offers a delightfully sensory and well-resourced learning environment to extend the opportunities for children’s play, learning and development. Children’s strengths and interests are encouraged and explored, acknowledging the children’s talents and capabilities.

Cambridge Early Learning Centre operates an 'Open Door' policy.

The Castle

The Pagoda

Promoting strong learning relationships is a key focus for teachers.  They skilfully notice, recognise and respond to children's learning.  Oral language is well supported through open-ended questions and children's desire to inquire and be curious.  Children's preferences are respected by teachers as they choose to play alongside their peers, with adults and independently.
