As a first time parent I was very nervous for my daughter to start childcare, but the team at Evoke have been so warm and welcoming. They were very informative about the enrolment process and reassuring throughout our trial period. Nadia and her team in the LillyPilly room are all so caring and kind. My little one has settled in well and is thoroughly enjoying the curriculum; we have even noticed a leap in her development since starting. My husband and I look forward to the photos and journal entries from the staff each day she attends; they are always doing wonderfully creative activities each day that she loves participating in.We were recommended Evoke from another family member and could not be more thankful! We would recommend them to any of our family and friends.

This is a massive appreciate post to say thank you for all of the love, support and care you have shown to my 3 children and our family since we’ve been at your child care Centre (which is over 2 years)My youngest baby has been in the Lily Pily room for 4 months now and it took him a while to adjust but he is thriving now and it’s all thanks to the staff. They are absolutely amazing and put his needs and wants above anything else. This truly is a home away from home. Nothing is ever a hassle. The reception and management staff are also incredible, we feel incredibly happy to be a part of the Evoke Community 😍🥰

My daughter joined the center when she was 10 months old, and the progress we've witnessed since then has been remarkable. The instructors are exceptionally kind, nurturing, and dedicated, and my daughter has formed a wonderful bond with each of them. I wholeheartedly recommend this early learning center; it truly is the great place to embark on your child's educational journey.

I had the pleasure of completing my placement at Evoke, and I am truly grateful for the warm help and guidance I received from the management team. The colleagues here are not only friendly but also highly professional. I have learned so much during my time here, and I am thankful to be a part of the Evoke family, even if just for a short time. Thank you, Evoke, for this wonderful experience!

We have had a wonderful experience at Evoke Early Learning, Clayton. Our daughter has thrived in the nurturing and supportive environment created by the dedicated team. The educators are genuinely caring, and attentive, and have gone above and beyond to ensure that our daughter felt comfortable and engaged every day.We are sad to leave due to our upcoming move interstate, but we are incredibly grateful for the care and attention she received during her time here. We highly recommend Evoke Early Learning to any parent looking for a warm, welcoming, and professional daycare.Thank you to the entire team for all the love and support!

Our experience with Evoke Learning Center, particularly the Waratah room, has been exceptional. The staff in the Waratah room are incredibly caring and supportive, ensuring that my child feels safe, valued, and happy every day.

My son has come out of his shell in his short time at Evoke, he has built really special relationships with all the educators, he even asks to see them on the weekend.This centre and their educators have made a lasting impression on our family, the children are introduced to great experiences and are well challenged.The service offers brilliant classes including sport, karate and art - my son is spoilt with learning when he attends Evoke!

1710927755

My son has been attending evoke since they took over in Albert park.He is so happy there, no tears at drop off and he is learning so much every day.The staff are of a high standard who are punctual, professional and fun where it matters.Both my son and I enjoy being a part of evoke and we will be sad to say goodbye when we move on to primary school.

We have been part of Evoke for 2 years now and highly recommended it for parents looking for good quality childcare in the area. The staff are compassionate and interacts really well with the children. You can tell that the staff really cares about the children and their families. My daughter had separation anxiety at the start but the educators have been so patient with her. She now loves her educator and is excited to go to Evoke!

1706642037

The team have been very caring and supportive of our son. Great indoor and outdoor facilities which are well maintained. Undercover outdoor play area allowed outdoor play even during times of rain. Son still misses staff and educators.

1706151376

Our son attended Evoke @ Oakleigh East for approximately 1.5 yrs and can't thank the staff and educators enough. We moved to Evoke from another day care facility and our only regret is that we didn't move across to Evoke sooner. Our son enjoyed his time, made great friends and the support staff were amazing. I strongly encourage anyone seeking a day care for there child/children to strongly consider Evoke. Special thanks to Saran, Jess, Jin, Saro and Mel. Thanks again team and keep up the great work.

Our two boys attended Evoke Early Learning (and previously Nido) for the last 8 years. The team at Evoke are amazing. It's a great community where all the admin team know and welcome you each day. The staff are so engaged with the kids and genuinely care about their development. I've always loved the fact that they celebrate the cultural diversity of all children who attend and have plenty of engaging outdoor space for the kids to explore and play in. I can't speak highly enough of the team at Evoke.

1705532442

Mandy and Jess have fostered a compassionate education team and developed a beautiful environment for children to express themselves in. The admin staff are delightful and know all the children and parents by name. The kindergarten educators have been encouraging, communicative and addressed any issues in a timely manner. I highly recommend Evoke Early Learning, it is more than a centre, it feels like a family. ❤️

On every visit to Evoke Early Learning Clayton, I am always greeted with warmth and friendliness by everyone, from the reception staff to the teachers and the management team.When you engage in conversation with Mandy and her team, you will gain valuable insight into the nurturing and caring environment they have created.It is truly heartwarming to witness the dedication of this group of professionals who genuinely care about the growth and well-being of every child.

Prior to settling with Evoke Early Learning, we looked at 6 child care facilities! And honestly I do not regret the choice at all. The staff are amazing, they interacted with our son straight away.Due to all the stories I hear and read I was super sceptical about child care but it’s been a year and my son loves it. My son recently felt unwell and the way each staff handled it was amazing!! We are forever grateful!Honestly family vibes here and I love it. Recommend this place to anyone and especially first mums.

1693567358

Our daughter Leni went here from 6 months to 9 months until we moved house. The educators in the Lilly Pilly room did a wonderful job caring for her. We felt like she was in very safe hands.

Great place,very friendly staff,my both kids are there....great improvement on my kids since they join with Evoke.i would recommand to my family and friends.

1689717203

We have been part of the Evoke Clayton family for more than 2.5 years now and love it! We greatly appreciate the time, attention and effort put in by every member of the team in caring for our children. Our kids genuinely love going there and have a great relationship with everyone in the centre. Daycare dropoffs can be heart-wrenching, especially as first time parents, but it's definitely been made easier because our children go in with smiles, and we know they'll enjoy their day and learn so much there.

1689646344

We love Evoke Early Learning Centre and our kids love it even more. Keep up the good work!Much loveThe Haddad's.

Recently transferred my son to Evoke Early Learning Centre. Best decision I’ve ever made, they go above and beyond to make not only myself but my son feel at home. Incredible centre director, admin staff and educators. I highly recommend Evoke!!

I am a working mother/ surgeon and Evoke Clayton (Previously Nido Clayton) provided excellent care for all 3 of my babies for the last 7 years. This is a particularly exceptional childcare centre with experienced and compassionate staff, marvellous infrastructure for the children to learn through play in all weather conditions and responsive management. We short listed 12 centres and visited 6 prior to deciding on Evoke Clayton and we know we have made the best choice for our precious children.

1681795256

my daughter has had them for 3 years they are the best!!!!I can't switch to another oneTracey Sophia, the people at the reception all the educators are very attentive to meI just wanna say thanks all🤗

We absolutely love evoke. Our children have tried other day cares & nothing has felt as close to home than Evoke. We were referred to the centre and haven’t looked back since! All the educators & staff are approachable and all communication is thorough. From the playground to the activities to the events even to the menu the kids have everything is amazing. We are so grateful to have a centre & safe place where we don’t even need to think about how our kids are doing during the day as we know they are getting the best care & come home so happy and can’t wait to go again! ❤️

Recently went to Evoke Early Learning centre with my friend as moral support to enrol her child for the coming year.We both found that they offered so much more than just ‘daycare’We met with Mandy who is totally in touch with programs offered and the needs of the children. Any concerns my friend had soon disappeared.Mandy gave us a tour of the facility which definitely had a safe environment feel and all the kids there looked happy!

1681284537

I couldn’t be happier with the love and care Mandy and her staff give to my grandchild. The centre has such a warm and friendly feel and the staff are always smiling. If I could rate this early learning centre a ‘10’, I absolutely would.

1678446912

We sent our 3 year old son and 18 months old daughter here since they were a baby. The journey from when they were crawling, to walking, to blabber, to now talking articulately, shared under the care of high quality educators at Evoke. Outstanding module, loving caring educators, great variety of food for lunch and morning/afternoon snacks. Great location, safe environment for kids. Consistent and thorough updates on kids meals, toilet/nappy change, and sleep via Xplor. Summary/pics of day activities uploaded daily on Storypark.I definitely recommend Evoke to parents out there.

1676637217

Amazing director and staff team working in there! Healthy and delicious food service is provided to children on-site. Thanks for your enthusiasm and kindness for kids💕

1676537151

Our daughter (born August 2020) started at Evoke in March 2022, and she has loved every minute of it. She is taken care of by a beautiful group of teachers who put together amazing activities each day, and all the children seem so well behaved and happy together. Sometimes it's hard to drag our little girl away at the end of the day! Finding Evoke has given us so much peace of mind, absolutely recommend.

Really Happy with Evoke Albert Park, the Educators are just wonderful. Nursery 2 staff is amazing. I have a great peace of mind taking my baby boy to evoke, that take great care of him, play and estimulare him a lot…and he gord there so happy!

1674335408

We have been using Evoke Childcare for our child for over 2 years now. The service we receive is amazing and our son has learnt a lot from the teachers. The teachers are very knowledgeable and know how to teach the children according to their age, ability and specific needs. The personal attention given by each teacher is top class.Our child has learnt so much and had become more independant. It made us feel comfortable to leave our son at this centre and now he enjoys coming every day. We have never felt better about leaving him in someone else's hands. Definitely recommend this centre to everyone!

Evoke has been a fantastic experience for our son (He was born in August 2020). He joined Evoke in September 2022. We love the communication between educators and parents. Facilities are awesome and the spaces they have to explore and play.

1671179447

We’ve had the unfortunate pleasure of trying to find centres around the Port Philip area for our son. We decided to give Evoke a go and the difference is astounding. The development in my son was immediately apparent and he is thriving here. I’m so glad we found this place.

1671179066

Our two boys (18 mths age gap) have been cared for by the team at Evoke Learning Albert Park for a few years now, and they 'love' arriving each day and going into their respective rooms. It is such a lovely team of educators and they all adore the children and offer an incredible variety of learning and sensory experiences. The facility is multi-storey with indoor, outdoor (undercover) and rooftop play areas, it's very spacious and always clean. I'm a Dad who wants the best start for his kids, we are very happy that we chose Evoke.

1671013619

What a lovely centre! From the facilities to the educators and carers that have made my sons time there a fun-filled learning experience - we can't thank you enough! An all round centre offering sports incursion, dedicated art lessons, nutritious meals, and a considered learning curriculum based on children's interests at the forefront of learning , just to name a few! Thank you to the amazing management and admin team who shower him with love and care every time and to the teachers and educators he has built an amazing bond with. We see you and appreciate all that you do for the children.

1670926980

Our kids have been going to Evoke and we couldn’t recommend a daycare more than them. From the educators to the management we couldn’t hope for a more loving and caring team.To know that when we send our kids to Evoke we have the trust and confidence that they will be cared for in the best possible way.There are some very special people at Evoke and they know who they are. They are family to us and and given the best start to our children’s lives and we couldn’t appreciate them more.

1670898894

Both of my babies started at Evoke from 6 months old. The love and care they were both shown by staff was incredible, they became an extension of our family and close friends to us all. I couldn't recommend this centre more for their care, their educators, their staff and the overall experience my children had with them

1670496029

My little boy has been coming to this centre for a year after moving from another centre he wasn’t thriving in. The educators have been great and the community / other families attending are also very lovely. We can see a difference in how well our son is being educated and notice a marked improvements in his development. The daily updates on their activities accompanied by photos are also really appreciated.

1670492870

Evoke creates a quality education through a stunning, creative environment as well as a beautiful educator team. The children who stay at evoke are enjoying their time and growing up safely and confidently.

Going through orientation with my first child before I return to work, both my daughter and I feel in very good hands! Let the journey begin!

1666053788

It’s taken me a little while to do this but wanted to make a special note how special this daycare is. The staff took such great care of my son and I was a very worried being a first time mum! It became his second home and for that I will always be grateful!

1663220592

Our daughter went to Evoke full-time from 15 months to 2 and a half and the staff are all amazing. We couldn't speak more highly of everyone who works there, all so caring and nurturing and supportive. They were a major part of our daughter's life and development and we were very sad we had to move away due to moving house. Thanks again to everyone at Evoke Clayton, too many of you to name.

1660539420

We are so glad we discovered Evoke and are thrilled with our decision, to trust the wonderful staff there with our boys!We knew we needed to find a centre that had a fantastic outdoor play area, when we were looking for our eldest. He is a very busy, very physical kid and needed space to run, explore and develop his gross motor skills. The outdoor play space is a massive draw card - it has a great range of activities and stimuli and is a great space to burn off their energy! I also love that with support and supervision, all age levels play outdoors together; encouraging their social emotional development.The staff are simply wonderful!! Our boys have had the most caring, kind, supportive, passionate, energetic and experienced educators. They genuinely care and develop beautiful trust and relationships. As the boys progress through their leaps and developmental stages, the educators work to both nurture and challenge them.They have been exposed to so much learning and diversity and I’m grateful for the care that is put into their early education.The Reggio Emilio approach was of great interest to me when I was searching for centres… following the lead of the children and following lines of inquiry based on their interests and passions of the children is wonderful.The AMAZING admin staff and Mandy are just fabulous!! They greet us with genuine enthusiasm each day and take such an interest in the kids and our family. My Mum did the drop offs and pick ups recently for us and was SO impressed with the incredible support of all the staff. The daily updates on Storypark have also really enhanced our conversations with the boys about their days and their learning.Thank you so much for all of the work you put into making each and every day a fantastic experience for our boys.

We absolutely love Evoke Early Learning centre. There is a huge community atmosphere and the staff are incredible! The staff are familiar not just with the children who attend but the families too which is really comforting. Lots of hands on experiences for the children and a huge outdoor space for the kids to get fresh air and burn off their energy. The dedicated chef makes the most delicious and nutritious meals. Looking at the menu there are days I wish I could stay for lunch too. My older child went to a different daycare and is in primary school now, even she wishes she could come to Evoke. We honestly can not rate this centre high enough!!!

1651192539

Such a lovely environment for children to be in. I am very happy with the staff and management at Evoke Clayton. Always greeted with a smile and a friendly chat. Very professional. Highly recommend this centre.

1651035977

We have been providing professional development to Mandy and team from Evoke Clayton for several years. These presentations have been easy to conduct as the team is always engaged and participates in the forums that we host. They are obvious led and managed well! Always a pleasure to return to the centre.

1650261517

I highly recommend Evoke Early Learning! I sent both my kids to Evoke from a young age (9 months) and watched them develop and thrive from such a positive and nurturing environment. The staff and educators from Evoke are all lovely and welcoming and made the whole experience positive for my family. They definitely get 5 starts from me!! Thank you Evoke Team, forever grateful for the head start you have given the kids 😊

My son and daughter are currently at Evoke. I've been to a few childcare centres around the Clayton area before and it was only up to chance that I found Evoke.Other childcare centres were hectic appearing, looked over busy or had a cold feel to them. Sterile almost.But Evoke, is clean but not clinical, homely but not hectic. The general play area, outdoors is spacious and there's alot of variety as the kids get older.I bring my child in at 630 in the morning and then on the other day, I bring him in at all sorts of times. It's a great feeling walking in. I walk past kids that are smiling and playing on the lawn. And then I reach my room, depending on the time of the day, the kids are sleeping, or they are sitting around a circular table eating lunch. Busy as it may be, it's never hectic. Every child is understood and accounted for.Besides the actual venue and the wonderful staff, during our 4 years at Evoke the staff have involved my children in celebrations for Holi and Harmony day, as well as Sri Lankan new year. Throwing colourful powder around and inviting guest to play on the drums. I love their dedication of considering different cultural and ethnic backgrounds and how they introduce it to the kids learning.The staff. Every room my children have been in, we have grown such wonderful relationships. Rohini, Kim, Saran, Inoka, Sarojini, Boya, Cordelia, Hannah and Alexia.Over the years they have been patient, understanding and kind. They have shown love to our children and has been a pillar of support around the needs of our children. If not for the centre, you can look no further for such amazing, caring and such kind hearted educators.As for management. Mandy. The cleaning schedule at Evoke is truly applaud worthy. My children are rarely sick. With the pandemic, they have been transparent and communicative. Close to 2.5 years on, our entire family has escaped having covid, and that it all due to the management at Evoke.If you've read this far, then consider Evoke. My experiences have been simply amazing, and I'm so glad I've found a wonderful childcare to start my children's early learning. Possibly one of the best decisions I've ever made.

Evoke has taken care of our children for several years and they have loved every minute
