We provide what is known as ‘All inclusive care’. This means not only do we educate your child in a nurturing environment, our childcare centres provide meals and beverages, sunscreen, hats, nappy creams and kids Aeroguard for your child. All you need to provide is a spare change of clothes and any specialised products your child requires: medications, milk or formula.

We follow strict emergency protocols and will immediately notify you if your child requires medical attention while contacting a doctor/hospital if required.

We have a First Aid Officer on hand every day at every childcare centre who is first aid and CPR certified, and we conduct regular safety training.

What our Families say.

Renee Checkley

Our children love the centre and all the staff. The staff are very caring and great with communication.

Carina Moulden

Our son loves going to the centre. All of the staff are welcoming and keep us updated regularly. Couldn't be happier with the service.

Jasmine Wilson

The educators are all very welcoming, kind and take genuine interest and efforts to connect with the children. There is a focus on creating environments that are safe, stimulating and fun for the children, as well as activities that encourage learning and self-confidence.

Danae Sinclair-Clift

It doesn't get any better than this. We couldn't be happier with the service we have received here over the past 4+ years. The educators are amazing, they feel like family, a truly special group of people.

Michael Baker

We have received amazing care for our two children. The staff are very caring and attentive. My kids are really happy.

Pranit Prakash

My 4 year old kid was there for around a year and up until 2 months back when we moved to a different suburb and then we had to end this awesome journey.

Undoubtedly, we miss the warmth, activities, engagements and experience that we had in Gladstone and none of the other places were able to match our expectations (in the other two day cares that we tried after). The staff at Gladstone were so friendly, available when we needed and responsive to requests. Undoubtedly, these were reasons that the parents were not only from the local neighbourhood of Glenroy but even from distant areas. Overall it's a great place to send kids and we will highly recommend it to everyone.

Courtney Davie

My daughter has been at this childcare for 7 months now and I couldn’t be happier with it.
