So glad you asked! Because we’re so much more than childcare. We’re a place to grow (and learn and make friends and explore the world and become school-ready!). What sets us apart is our curriculum and inclusions, immersed throughout your child’s day, every single day.

You’re invited to experience your local campus in action at our Stay & Play Open Day this September. Explore our inspiring learning environments and stay to enjoy fun, play-based experiences with our team.
At Only About Children We Are More Than Childcare.
Our unique approach to early learning goes beyond education to encompass the health, social development and total wellbeing of every child in our care. We call it the OAC Way.Here's what our families have to say
Sent our little one here. Amazing team!
The educators are so kind, loving, and patient with the kids. The spaces are clean and broad, featuring dedicated activity rooms. Another huge plus is their underground parking, so you never have to worry about finding a street spot.
We’ve had a wonderful experience with Only About Children Elsternwick. The educators are caring, attentive and genuinely take the time to get to know the children and their individual needs. We especially appreciate the warm and welcoming environment, as well as the regular communication and updates throughout the day.
Our little one is always well looked after and has clearly developed a strong sense of comfort and confidence there. It gives us great peace of mind knowing she is in such caring hands.
We’re very happy with OAC Elsternwick and would highly recommend it to other families looking for a nurturing and supportive childcare centre.
Deeno is spending 3 days of his every week here. As a parent I trusted this place because of the space it offers. It’s like a natural vacation for him, surrounded by large trees and shade. Feels like it will be very comfortable in the summer.
I must say Hailey and her team is managing the center very well. The educators are genuine and friendly and chef Saroj is awesome, making sure that food smells good and yum 🤤
My one complaints is the distance from our house to childcare 🤔
Highly recommend OAC Mosman. They have been so welcoming and accomodating. My daughter loves attending and has made so many lovely friends. Her confidence has really shone, and she has learnt so many new things and skills here.
The campus is so clean and organised, and I love that the play area is private from street view. I feel really comfortable and confident sending my children here.
From the moment I walked into OAC Warriewood West, it just felt right. We had visited quite a few centres, and this was the first one where I had that immediate feeling of, this is where I want my child to be.
When our son first started, the educators were incredibly patient and took the time to really get to know him, build his trust and make him feel safe and comfortable. During some of the harder drop-offs, they would even check in with us afterwards to let us know he had settled, was happy and having fun, it’s those little things that meant so much to us.
There is such a warm, happy atmosphere at the centre. The children genuinely seem happy to be there, and the educators are incredible with them. Communication has always been wonderful and we’ve always felt informed, supported and confident that our son is being genuinely cared for.
He now absolutely loves going and has made some beautiful friendships that he’ll be taking with him into his next chapter at school. We’ve had such a positive experience that our daughter will soon be starting at OAC Warriewood West too, which probably says it all.
We’re so grateful for the care, patience and love they’ve shown our family over the years and couldn’t recommend the centre more highly
We have had a wonderful experience with Only About Children, North Parramatta. My child has had a fantastic time there, and we have always felt confident knowing he is in such caring and supportive hands.
A special mention to the Director, Gayathri, who is an absolute gem. She has always been approachable, kind, and our go-to person whenever we needed any help or guidance. Her dedication and warmth truly make a difference.
The educators and staff are also amazing. Saba, Tasneem, and the rest of the team have been incredibly caring, supportive, and attentive towards my child. Their genuine love and commitment create such a positive and nurturing environment.
We are very grateful for the wonderful memories and experiences our child has had at Only About Children North Parramatta. Highly recommended!
My kids have been in 3 daycare centres in their life and OAC Warriewood West is by far the best we’ve experienced. The staff are amazing, there is very little turnover and very few casuals. Communication and organisation is great. The centre is kept up to date, clean and tidy. The activities are always well considered. The outside space is wonderful. The meals are always healthy and balanced and my kids actually eat everything. I cannot recommend highly enough!
An absolutely amazing daycare, very highly recommended. We've had 2 children there for over 2 years and should have a 3rd shortly. Incredible and tenured staff who are great with all the children and extremely attentive. A perfect environment and even a great chef.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely incredible!
OAC has truly become something special. ❤️ I was talking to a few parents over the weekend who had previously attended OAC, and they were genuinely amazed by how much it has grown and evolved — several even said they wished they hadn’t left!
For our family, I honestly wouldn’t choose anywhere else. The love, care, community and opportunities OAC provides are exceptional. The educators go above and beyond to make every child feel safe, secure, valued and confident, while also encouraging them to explore, take on new experiences and discover the world around them.
I especially love seeing how engaged Maxwell is with learning outside of the traditional classroom. He comes home telling us the best stories about his Bush Kindy adventures, and it’s beautiful watching his confidence, curiosity and love of nature grow. 🌿
OAC has also created such an incredible environment for children with different sensory needs, including a dedicated sensory room where children can regulate and feel calm when they need some quiet time. Their state-of-the-art art room is another amazing space that allows the children to be creative, explore and express themselves.
What really stands out is the incredible team of educators and staff. They put so much thought, care and effort into creating experiences that challenge and inspire the children, while always keeping their individual needs and wellbeing at the heart of everything they do.
Thank you, OAC, for giving Maxwell the opportunity to grow, explore, build confidence, develop independence and fall in love with learning and nature. We are genuinely so grateful to be part of such a beautiful community. ❤️🌿✨
If you’re looking for a daycare where your child is genuinely known, cared for and encouraged to thrive, I couldn’t recommend OAC highly enough. xx
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ More than just a daycare, it genuinely feels like family. ❤️
One of the things that makes OAC stand out so much is the incredible variety of experiences they give the children. There is always something exciting happening, and the children are constantly given opportunities to learn, explore and experience things outside the usual daycare environment.
They bring in zoo educators and animal experiences, have a travelling dentist visit the children, run soccer afternoons and regularly have different amazing people come in to teach, entertain and engage the kids. It is the kind of place where you can tell they are constantly thinking about how they can make each experience even better for the children. 🐘⚽️🦷🎨
I also love that the children get out into the community. They go on walks wearing their high vis vests to the local park and even Buderim Primary, giving them a chance to explore their surroundings, build confidence and learn how to safely navigate the world outside the centre. 🌿
Then there are the incredible spaces and programs within OAC itself, including Bush Kindy experiences, the sensory room, beautiful art room and activities designed to cater to different interests, abilities and sensory needs. There really is something for every child.
But honestly, what I notice most is the feeling when you walk through the door. There are no bad vibes. It does not feel clinical or like you are simply dropping your child off at a childcare centre. It feels like you are walking into a family home filled with warmth, kindness, laughter and genuine love for the children. ❤️
The staff are welcoming, approachable and genuinely invested in the families. You feel included, supported and part of the community, and that means so much as a parent.
It is obvious that so much heart, creativity and effort goes into creating these experiences. OAC is not just looking after children. They are helping them build confidence, independence, friendships, curiosity and beautiful memories.
We feel incredibly lucky to be part of it. OAC is the kind of place you hope to find when you are choosing somewhere to trust with your child, and then realise you have found something even better than you imagined. ❤️🌿✨
A truly exceptional daycare. Bianca and her team have created a wonderfully caring and community environment where everything is run so smoothly and with great dedication. We couldn’t be happier with our experience. The educators are super caring and were very warm in welcoming our child and making her transition to the daycare smooth. We had complete confidence knowing our child was so well cared for. We were incredibly grateful to the whole team for everything they do!
The educators are so caring, kind, patient & just lovely people. The rooms are always clean, the rooftop outdoor area is so big and full of things to do. It’s shaded, and the educators always make sure the kids are wearing hats and sunscreen. I often see Liz, the director in the rooms interacting with all the children. Highly recommend OAC, particularly the Caringbah location.

Our little one loves having so much space to explore, learn and play with their friends in Toddler 2. We also love that the educators know all the kids across the different rooms—it creates a warm, welcoming and connected environment. The staff are caring, attentive and genuinely invested in the children’s development. Many thanks to all the staff, too many good ones to name ♥️
Good good , good teacher good food and good facility
Rose Bay Village has been an outstanding daycare for our son. We are so grateful to Bianca and all the educators in the Nursery and Explorers rooms, who fill each day with care, fun and learning. The food is also cooked in-house (thanks to Chef Daniel)!
We feel confident that our son is safe and well looked after, and he’s known as an individual with regular check-ins on how he’s is doing. He speaks enthusiastically about his days and the friends he has made.
The centre has a lovely community, enabling us to connect with other parents too.
My child has been going there for a couple of months now, he is getting full support from the educators and the team. Shout out to Ed Leader, Shulang who gave me the tour on the first day of induction and my son was very excited ever since! Keep up the good work, OAC Southbank.
I am very grateful to the OAC Marubura team. My child really likes that place and looks forward to the day we go. Perhaps it is thanks to the excellent facilities and the warm, friendly teachers. Nicole, who was especially considerate and attentive, is the best.
My daughter and I absolutely love OAC, we adore every single one of the educators and the office ladies are always greeting us with a big smile and cheerful voices, which plays a big part of our daily moods.
My little girl has attend since she was 1 and a half and I honestly am so grateful for all the things she has learnt. The educators are absolutely amazing and I feel at ease knowing my little one is being looked after properly.
We are very happy with this childcare. The educators are kind, caring and genuinely attentive to our baby girl. They create a safe, welcoming and positive environment where she feels comfortable and supported.
We really appreciate how much they care about each child’s development and education, while also making sure they feel loved and valued. It is reassuring to know that our child is in such good care and capable hands. Healthy and delicious meals are offered to her and I can see how much she has learned to eat and enjoying her food at home too.
Thank you to the whole team for everything you do every day! We truly appreciate your dedication and care. ❤️
We're so glad my cousin sister Asmita and brother in law Stuart made the decision to send her baby to the Only about children at Croydon park. Alice baby has learned so much in the few short months after she been there. As being an Asian family member I was nervous when I heard about she goes to daycare but I was wrong. Looks like the staffs are experienced, patient and kind. They are helpful and gives meaningful feedback of kids daily activities. The centre is always maintained clean and spacious. Detailed daily schedule is mostly provided. I recommend this centre for parents looking for reliable daycare.
They have taken such a good care of our little Alice Goody. 😍❤️🥰
We are so happy that we chose OAC Armadale for our daughter. Obviously, choosing a childcare for your kids can be a bit stressful and daunting, but ever since the first day it’s been nothing but a great experience for us. The toddler staff, in particular Janaira and Selinay are incredible. Our daughter is so happy and developing so much with them. They have nurtured her and shown her such care and we can’t thank them enough. The detail we receive about daily activities, nutrition, education etc is fantastic also.
Again, thank you for creating such a great environment for all children!
We have been sending our son to Only About Children Armadale for the past two months and couldn’t be happier with how smoothly he has transitioned into care. From the very beginning, the team in the nursery have been so warm, caring and attentive towards him, which has given us so much reassurance.
We absolutely love the regular updates we receive throughout the day and the communication from the educators. We can see the genuine care and affection the nursery educators show him, and we can tell that he feels safe, happy and comfortable while he is there.
We are so grateful to the whole team at Only About Children Armadale. We couldn’t be happier with the care our son is receiving.
Great service
Well experienced
Great stuff
We’ve had a wonderful experience at Only About Children Glebe. The educators are caring, patient and supportive, and our son has been so happy here. A special thank you to Lyndsy, Elle and Janjira for their kindness, dedication and genuine care. We truly appreciate everything you do. Highly recommend!
