Brunswick West Childcare & Kindergarten

Only About Children Brunswick West childcare is a light-filled, warm and welcoming centre, with a range of exciting, resource-rich environments. With three dedicated outdoor play areas, two age-based and the third a shared space for all, children have plenty of space for creativity, exploration, and self-lead play. Children can enjoy our bike track, worm farm and our wonderful vegetable garden! Our seven age-based indoor spaces are designed around natural elements and encourage children in their growth and learning. We enjoy our connection with the local community. Our excursions and community activities are based around the children’s interests and learning. At Only About Children childcare Brunswick West, this means regular participation in a ‘Bush Kinder’ program and regular visits to our local nursing home.  

Additionally, the campus features its own unique sensory garden with a variety of edible plants where children are encouraged to explore and learn. The Playground to Plate program teaches children how to grow, prepare and share fresh seasonal food.
