Benefits of Child Care

Centre in Walkley Height

We recognize that staying at home is not always an option. Our goal is to create a space for your child that feels safe, secure, and fun, just like home. When you enrol your child in child care, you can trust that they will experience opportunities for play and development that will stimulate their sense of socialisation and autonomy.

We offer three rooms to better address the needs of our three age groups. This gives our staff the chance to provide age-appropriate opportunities for growth and play. Our focus is on fostering your child’s sense of belonging and self-worth while incorporating elements of family culture as well as their unique interests and strengths.

Your child will love learning at Walkley Heights Child Care Centre. Contact us or visit our centre in person to get a better idea of how your child would benefit.

What Parents Are Saying

  • "

    My daughter started here five years ago, and my son is currently here. The biggest attribute is the staff at the Centre! They are all amazing, caring, nurturing, creative and funny. The Centre keeps families informed via an app and I find this helps me interact with my son. The Centre is always celebrating something different, and everyone joins in the fun of dressing up. I trust these educators with the most precious people in my life and they are amazing at what they do! Thanks to Randall and his AMAZING staff for running a brilliant centre where my children have been given the skills to be independent and ready for school. You are all amazing!!

    Randall Johncock is the very caring and thoughtful owner of Walkley Heights Child Centre. As a parent I looked at four other child care centres and was not impressed by them at all. I heard Walkley Heights was opening around October 2003, so I rang and put my daughter's name on the list, went for an interview, as soon as I walked in, I knew this was the place for my daughter. Very clean and tidy place I found the staff very helpful and friendly. I liked how they cooked on the premises; menu was always out on the board. Everything was supplied within the Centre and my daughter loved bringing home drawings and crafts. Janet and Randall decorate the Centre for special occasions and always looks lovely. Overall, my child was at the Centre for three years and I knew when I left her, she would be in very good hands!

    I could not be happier with the Centre, and its team. Everyone is caring and approachable; communication is great and my little one seems happy at the end of each visit but also in no rush to leave.
