Meet our Centre Manager – Hope Watcham

Creative Garden Cheltenham Hope WatchamMy name is Hope Watcham, and I have been working in early education for 14 years. I hold a Diploma in Children’s Services. I am most passionate about building meaningful connections with our community, families, children and educators. 

I have always wanted to be an early childhood educator since I was in Year 7. The joy on a child’s face as they play is contagious, and seeing them accomplish something and be so happy about that is such a wonderful feeling. I feel a deep sense of happiness and pride when a child finishes up at the centre to move on to school, and they are so ready for that next stage of their learning journey.

At our centre, we are such a tight-knit team. We all work together to provide the best possible care to the children and support to our families. We are happy, kind and always there for the children and their families. All of us educators bring something unique to the table, whether it is musical talent, another language, a love for science or the amazing storytelling talent. We are a centre that prides itself on connecting with everyone in our community. We pride ourselves on the consistency within the centre, ensuring that children have regular educators looking after them throughout the year.

If you choose our centre, you can expect a warm welcome from all of us here.

Testimonials

“I am so happy that I picked this centre for my son. I was really nervous about getting him started at day care. Claire was so warm from the day we did the tour and Violeta really is as good as all the reviews suggest – she really treats the kids like her own. The team really worked hard to ensure my son had a smooth transition into day care. The centre is beautiful, there is a strong focus on being outdoors in nature as the name suggests, and the rooms and outdoor play areas are amazing. Very impressed with the friendliness of the team there and the previous reviews. Super happy with my decision! Huge thanks to all the carers. All I hear at home now is “daycare tomorrow! Let’s go see Maree, Melani and Violeta” – Dacia

 

“Beautiful people with beautiful mind, always willing to help, very responsive and flexible , little one is happy that’s the most important thing to us.” – Amy T

 

“Creative Garden Early Learning Cheltenham is an excellent childcare centre. The team is extremely supportive and they all work really hard to provide superior education for the kids. My son loves going there and has such fun and always comes home having learnt something new! The food is excellent and they even provide dinner (which is unusual for a childcare). I love how each day I get sent photos and videos of the activities my son is doing – I love seeing him playing with all the other kids and knowing he is well looked after. Without hesitation, I would highly recommend this childcare to all parents in the Bayside area.” – Georgia Finlayson

 

“I can’t recommend Hope and her team more. Our experience with Creative Garden was truly incredible and left a lasting, positive impact on our children. Our kids wouldn’t want to leave when it was time to go home! The educators and management team are all phenomenal, they genuinely care and the kids adored them all, not to mention Yuval the amazing chef feeding them so well. We moved back to Sydney and were so sad to leave the team. This is simply the most incredible centre – send your kids here, you will not go wrong.” – Nathan Viviani

 

“My little boy started at Creative Garden Cheltenham this year, and he absolutely loves it!! All the educators are so kind and caring. I feel extremely happy knowing he is well looked after and enjoying himself while he is there.
I would highly recommend this child care centre to anyone.” – Luaren Spicer
