Why Choose Us?
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.
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
We’ve been part of the Only About Children Carindale community for over 3 years, and choosing this centre for our children has been one of the best decisions our family has made. From the very beginning, Julie, Nat, and the entire team have created a warm, nurturing, and genuinely supportive environment where our children have thrived socially, emotionally, and developmentally.
One of the standout qualities of OAC Carindale is the low turnover of educators. Seeing the same familiar, caring faces each day has helped our children build strong, trusting relationships and given us great confidence and continuity as parents. The educators truly know each child as an individual and provide tailored experiences, guidance, and encouragement to help them grow and flourish at every stage.
The attention to detail throughout the centre is exceptional. From the Nursery stage, our babies were always clean, well rested, happy, and very well cared for. We particularly appreciate how proactive and attentive the team is when it comes to children’s health and wellbeing — any signs of illness are identified and communicated quickly, with thoughtful measures taken to help limit any potential spread through the centre. As parents, that level of care and vigilance provides enormous peace of mind- it also means our children are rarely unwell.
Most importantly, our children genuinely love attending OAC Carindale. They are constantly learning, growing in confidence, and coming home excited to share what they’ve experienced each day. The centre has built such a strong sense of community for both children and families, and we’re incredibly grateful for the care, professionalism, and dedication shown by every member of the team.
We would wholeheartedly recommend Only About Children Carindale to any family looking for a safe, nurturing, and high-quality early learning environment.
Shout loud to the staffs and the facilities of this centre. Been for a tour and it was an amazing experience.
We are so grateful to have found Only About Children Southbank . From the moment we toured, we felt welcomed. The teachers in all room are incredibly nurturing, and it’s clear they genuinely care about my child's well-being and developmental milestones. My little one genuinely loves going there every day! The communication is fantastic, and I feel completely at ease knowing they are in such safe and caring hands. Highly recommended to any parent looking for quality childcare!
Both kids of mine have been there from 6 months old - primary school and even though we moved further from the center we couldn’t bring ourselves to change Childcares . The team are absolutely amazing and the attention to detail by the staff makes us feel so comfortable having our children there . Will be sad to finish up at OAC but forever thankful for the nurturing environment they have provided our two boys .
I highly recommend this centre! My daughter has been attending the Nursery room since last October, and the experience has been wonderful. As she started from such a young age, I was initially nervous, but the educators have been absolutely amazing. They are so warm, caring, and attentive to every detail, making sure she feels safe and loved.
It’s such a relief to see her smiling at the educators every morning. I’m so grateful for all their hard work and support. If you're looking for a childcare centre where your baby will be in great hands, this is definitely the place!

My son attends OAC South Granville and I cannot thank the educators and staff enough.

I feel 100% confident leaving my child here every day. It feels like a second home, and the staff are always friendly and professional. I’ve seen such progress in my child because their teaching methods are so effective. Most importantly, I love that they use positive parenting techniques that align perfectly with our approach at home—it provides the consistency and support my child needs to thrive.

Nurturing staff, amazing food and experiences, highly recommend. New management staff are amazing , my child is very happy here.
We are so grateful for the care our two children receive here. The educators are genuinely so lovely and kind and it is so obvious to me that our children feel happy and supported at OAC Morningside. Thanks team :)
We’re really happy with our experience at OAC. My son genuinely enjoys his time there and has been learning so much, which is wonderful to see. The educators are warm and engaging, and he has built great connections.
Initially, I had some concerns around his sleep routine and how he would settle in, but the team handled it with care and patience. They kept me informed and worked with his needs, which made a big difference and gave me peace of mind.
It has been a positive experience, and I’m grateful to see him happy, comfortable, and thriving.
We have two girls 18 months and 3 years and they both love going to OAC brookvale, drops off are supportive and stress-free, the kids are happy and well looked after when we pick them up. The educators are consistent and communicative. Would definitely recommend!
My son has been attending OAC Brookvale over the last year and is loving it! From the moment you walk in, you can feel how warm, welcoming, and genuinely caring the environment is. The educators go above and beyond every single day, not just to keep the children safe and engaged, but to truly understand them as individuals. It makes me so happy as a parent to read the daily updates and how my child has been developing over the time at the centre!
The communication is amazing, the management is 5 star! Always replying to emails within the day and any interaction have a personalised feel, which goes a long way!
The updates give real peace of mind, and it’s so clear how much thought goes into the daily activities and learning experiences. My child is growing in confidence, social skills, and independence in such a natural and supported way.
My husband and I don’t have any family in Australia and it makes such a different having a centre we can trust to support us!
Couldn’t recommend this centre more highly 🤍
We had such a wonderful experience with OAC Mona Vale and can’t thank the team enough.
The educators played such an important role in our child’s development providing a caring, supportive environment and genuinely going above and beyond. It’s clear how much thought and effort goes into the way they nurture the children.
Since moving to a new daycare, the team there has already commented on our child’s strong language skills and lovely demeanour, which is a real credit to the care and guidance received here.
We’re so grateful for everything and really miss being part of the community. Would absolutely recommend 10 out of 10!
I enrolled my 3 yo son here from another centre in Carina Heights where he was not happy at all. He settled straight away and he loves it! It s a beautiful centre and with caring educators
I believe Only About Children in Tarneit is one of the best centres in the area. It has a huge outdoor space where children can run, explore, and enjoy active play. I bet no childcare centre in this area has this much space.
While many new centres focus on buildings and materials, this centre truly values outdoor play and children’s wellbeing. All the educators are so welcoming and helpful. I highly recommend parents to visit and see the difference for themselves.
