Gardens, sandpit and climbing play

Calm, home-like indoor spaces
Indoor rooms have a warm, home-like feel, with neutral-toned furniture and wooden toys. The spaces are arranged to help children feel settled while they play, create, join daily routines and spend time with friends.
Educators with 10 to 25 years at the centre
Many educators and teachers have been part of the centre for more than 10 years, with some team members here for up to 25 years. This gives children familiar faces and helps families build relationships with educators who know their child well.
Individual Learning Plans
Each child has an Individual Learning Plan based on their interests, strengths and developmental goals. Educators work with families to review and update the plan, so it continues to reflect each childâs learning and needs.
Government-approved Preschool program
Our Government-approved Preschool program is delivered by a Bachelor-qualified Early Childhood Teacher. Children practise routines, build friendships and develop the confidence and skills they need as they get ready for school.
Excursions, yoga and language learning
Children take part in police and fire brigade visits, local park excursions and trips to zoos and farms. Yoga sessions are also part of the centre program, and preschool children can explore language through the ELLA platform.
Fresh meals by our in-house chef
Our in-house chef prepares breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea and a late snack each day. Meals and snacks are prepared fresh, with allergies and individual dietary requirements catered for.
Family communication through our app

Frequently asked questions
A centre tour is a convenient way to experience the childcare centre of your choice and meet with our qualified educators at a time that is suitable for your family’s schedule. Click here to book a tour online.
On the day of the tour, you can observe practices and interactions within the centre environment. Youâll be able to see all the rooms and playgrounds, ask the team members any questions you have in mind, and get all the information you need to make the best decision for your child.
Enrolling is simple, and our Family Support Team will guide you through each step.
First, find your local centre and book a tour so you can meet the team and explore the learning environment. If the centre is the right fit and a place is available, youâll receive an enrolment offer for your child. If a place is not currently available in your childâs age group, we can add your child to the waitlist and keep you updated.
To finalise your enrolment, youâll complete an online enrolment form through a secure link sent by our Family Support Team. Youâll also need to provide key details and documents, including your childâs birth certificate, Medicare details, immunisation history statement and, if eligible, your Child Care Subsidy details.
Before your childâs first day, you may be invited to attend a Stay and Play session. This gives your child time to explore the centre, meet their educators, and start feeling comfortable in their new environment. Once your paperwork is complete, your child is ready to start their early learning journey with us.
Starting child care is a big milestone, and a little preparation can help your child feel more comfortable and confident.
Before your childâs first day, you can talk positively about their new centre, explain what their day might look like, and practise small routines such as packing their bag, saying goodbye, washing hands and sitting down for meals. You may also like to visit the centre with your child, meet their educators and ask our team about what to bring on the first day.
When your child starts, our educators will take the time to get to know your childâs routine, interests, comfort items and individual needs. Settling in looks different for every child, so we work closely with families to help children feel safe, supported and ready to learn.
Most of our child care and early education centres offer nappies and wipes, sunscreen and hats, as well as nutritious meals prepared by our in-house cook. Some centres also provide sheets and formula, so you may not need to remember to pack them.
For nursery children, be sure to bring: nappy rash cream, dummies, bottles and teats, comfort toys or blankets, three spare outfits and spare socks.
For toddlers and preschool or kindergarten-aged children, itâs best to bring: spare underwear, water bottle or sippy cup, sun hat, closed-toe shoes, two spare outfits and spare socks.
Plus, anything else your individual child may need, such as breast milk, a sleeping bag, a comforter or medication.
Itâs best to speak to your centre of choice for a full list of everything included.
Early Learning Services uses Xplor Home as our family communication app. It is the best and easiest way to keep track of your childâs day.
After you enrol your child with the centre, you can utilise Xplor Home to book child care days, manage your account, receive the photographs that capture your childâs learning, learn about your childâs progress, as well as keep up-to-date with upcoming centre events and important information.
If your child shows signs of an infectious illness when they arrive at the centre or becomes sick during the day, you may be notified that you need to make alternative arrangements or pick up your child from the centre and keep them home until they are no longer infectious. While we understand that this can be inconvenient, Early Learning Services is committed to maintaining a healthy environment and reducing the risk of infection for all children.
Under the Child Care Subsidy (CCS), families are allowed 42 absence days per child, per financial year. These can be taken for any reason, including public holidays and when children are sick, without requiring families to provide documentation.
