Nursery

It’s incredibly rewarding to be part of your baby’s journey as they learn to interact and communicate with the world around them. By creating a safe, secure, and stimulating environment, we provide every baby in our care with the best opportunities to express themselves, develop relationships, socialise with others, and discover new things.

A welcoming space for your baby to thrive

Your local Sandcastles childcare centre is conveniently situated in the heart of the community, close to primary schools, parks, and familiar local organisations. Each of our early learning centres is filled with an incredibly friendly and experienced team ready to welcome you and your baby.

At the end of each day, we carefully reset our learning environments to support your baby’s individual interests, development, learning, and well-being, ensuring they are prepared for tomorrow and beyond.

We understand how important childcare is for busy families, which is why our centres offer extended operating hours for your convenience.

Friendly, familiar faces on a daily basis

Our team is like family, and we go above and beyond to ensure they are well cared for. This dedication allows us to attract and retain the most qualified early childhood teachers and experienced educators in the field.

Every day, our team helps us create a warm, welcoming, and stimulating environment for your baby. In this setting, relationships are nurtured and developed, and educators respond to each baby’s unique needs and strengths, guiding them as they explore and understand their world.

Where your baby will grow, learn and play

Our nurseries are purposely designed to make every baby feel safe to explore and discover new things. The spaces are filled with sensory experiences and activities to encourage intentional and responsive play-based learning, both independently and in small groups.

All our babies participate in our learning program, which is guided by the principles, practices, and outcomes of the National Curriculum and the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF).

What your baby will learn:

Engaging with others

Developing their ability to focus more deeply while improving their social skills, attention, communication and concentration. Our team responds to your babies’ cues as their way of communicating and developing language.

Singing

Improving their language development, memory and listening skills while supporting brain development.

Active engagement

Encouraging active participation in activities to boost self-esteem, gross and fine motor skills, socialisation, and communication.

Sensory play

Encouraging your baby to take part in activities that develop their senses and accelerate connections within their brain.

Language development

Supporting social, literacy, cognitive and language development to improve how your baby responds, interacts and communicates.

People and stimuli

Building your baby’s confidence to want to explore new things and meet new people.

Extended hours for busy families

We know how important childcare can be for busy families, which is why our centres are conveniently open for extended operating hours.
