Proudly Ridgehaven’s longest serving childcare centre
We have served 2 generations of locals with some of the most experienced childcare workers in the region.


Educators who stay
Long-term educators — some with 20+ years’ experience. A consistent educator knows your child’s routines, comfort toy and favourite song. Photos and qualifications are displayed in the foyer and every room.
Newly updated building and facilities
Purpose Built Building
We recently finished an extensive new building which has been specifically designed for early learning spaces.
Outdoor Spaces
Outdoor environments, that are guided by the EYLF (Early Years Learning Framework) and encourage children to explore their surroundings.


Health & Nutrition
Our in-house chef prepares nutritious meals and snacks using seasonal menus. All food is freshly made on-site, ensuring quality and freshness. The menu is displayed in our foyer and we encourage families and staff to become involved in menu planning.
We educate children in healthy eating habits whilst encouraging children to participate in growing healthy food choices in our vegetable garden.
