What makes our Picton daycare different

Qualified educators, low turnover

Our team includes 3 ECTs and 2 educators working towards ECT qualifications, more than required for a 46-place service. Our key educators have been with us between 1 year and 3.5 years. We prioritise consistency of care.

All-inclusive daily fees

From $150 per day, with meals, nappies, wipes, sunscreen, learning resources, excursions and centre events included. No enrolment fees, no administration fees. Most families also reduce their costs through Child Care Subsidy and NSW Start Strong.

Small, family-owned, accountable

46 places means we know every child by name. Decisions are made on site by the people who care for your child, not by a head office in another state.

Our rooms

Our four rooms support children from 6 months to school age, in groups small enough to know every child.
