Detailed attention has been placed on planning each indoor and outdoor space at our centre, with a focus on nature and sustainability. Our centre has been designed to stimulate children’s creativity, exploration and sense of belonging.
Explorers Surrey Hills will boast many great features, play spaces and amenities. Some of these include:
- Rooftop gardens and vegetable patch
- Offstreet parking
- Close proximity to the train station and public transport.
- Designated sleeping rooms for babies
- Outdoor landscaped play spaces on each level (3 levels)
- Natural and Reggio Emilia inspired resources and learning environments
- Classrooms dedicated to each age group
- Secure pram storage
Our children are given the opportunity to play outdoors in large yards for each age group. We will have community gardens, sand pits, mud play areas and much more.
At Explorers, we like to give our children EXTRA! That’s why our Extras Program has been created to enhance the children’s experience and provide opportunities for learning in specialised areas. All children are welcome to participate in this program at no additional cost.
These programs include Gardening & Sustainability, Music & Movement, French and Speech Therapy.

Our child initiated, play based program stimulates children’s learning, exploration and social connections.
Our Kindergarten program (for 3 and 4 year olds) uses a play based approach that emphasises learning through exploration and investigation. The program encourages children to be creative in all areas, whether it is problem solving or the expressive arts. It also encourages lateral thinking and positive social interactions.
Our program will run within long day care hours.
Please enter using the underground carpark.

Our youngest particularly enjoys the Surrey Hills centre with its view of the trains... She loves trains and it was always the easiest thing to distract her with at drop off. She doesn't need distracting now - she lives attending too.
The staff are always welcoming and professional. They have always felt trustworthy and reliable. And turnover seems low... We always see the same friendly faces there!
We are constantly recommending Explorers to friends and we whole heartedly recommend the Surrey Hills centre. read lessEllie HMy daughter has attended Explorers at Surrey Hills since she was 10 months old.

She is now 2.5 years old and I can honestly say she is thriving because of the environment that Explorers has set up for her. The educators are nurturing and encouraging, they are like family to us. Our toddler looks forward to seeing her educators and friends so we hardly have any problems at drop offs. There is low turnover of staff which is something important to us; she has had the same group of educators care for her since her first day as a baby. I am glad we chose to send her here and would highly recommend this centre to others too. read less

It is our first experience of day care, and it has spoiled us for life. We are so grateful for the care, attention and love that the carers give to our child. His routine is carefully considered and supported, and the educators plan so many different opportunities to engage him in play and learning. At pick up time, the educators always have time for a chat, to fill us in on the day and share stories so that we don't miss out. We cannot recommend the wonderful team at EEL Surrey Hills enough, they feel like our second family. read less
