Welcome to Jellybeans Childcare Como! We are a full-service, purpose-built childcare centre in South Perth who cater for children aged from birth to 6 years as well as before-school care facilities. We operate between the hours of 6:30 am and 6 pm to ensure that there is ample time for drop-offs in the morning and pick-ups in the afternoon. 

At Jellybeans Como our focus is on early education so all of our children have the ability to learn and strive through their journey at the Centre, we pride ourselves in having families involved in their children’s learning journeys during their time with us. We consider that educating and caring for young formative minds is a great privilege and we take pride in implementing and practicing programs and activities that develops this.

Our Learning Spaces

Each of our five rooms has a curriculum based on the Early Years Learning Framework which is established and implemented by our qualified and dedicated staff, which provides a program full of fun and activities, specifically designed for each age group. These programs accommodate each individual child’s strengths and interests whilst further developing their skills with the program being delivered via the online learning portal; Xplor. Xplor is an online learning hub where parents receive daily reports and photos of their child’s learning, parents can log on any time during the day to access reports, observations and photos of their child.

In our Kindy room we have a School Readiness program that is delivered by our Bachelor trained Early Childhood Teacher and supported by two qualified assistants. The school readiness program focuses on providing the tools that children require to transition to mainstream schooling, this is promoted through our early education centre. Our operating hours are longer than the standard school hours, allowing for flexibility for our working and studying families.

Community Engagement

Jellybeans Como offers incursions and excursions for all age groups as part of our curriculum, which are guided by the childrens interests and the relationships we have established in the community. The incursions and excursions are planned based around the current interests of the children, and any community events that are offered in the area. The centre also has a Centre pram called the ‘Jelly Jogger’ where up to six children can go for a walk, this promotes physical activity in our educators and also promotes and enhances the children’s exposure to the natural surrounding environments. Our children also visit the local zoo monthly, as we feel having strong connections with our communities is an important part of children’s growth and development.

The childcare centre has pets including two budgies and rabbits, our centre also participates yearly in the chicken hatching program. On Fridays we have Chinese lessons in the Pre Kindy and Kindy classes delivered by Miss Jenny.

Interactive Outdoor Environments

Our centre has large open play spaces in the downstairs rooms, these include vegetable gardens, bike tracks and large climbing forts. The children have ample opportunity to play and discover outside every day. Our menus are established for the seasons and offers a low sugar and salt variety. The menus and recipes are guided by the Australian Dietary Guidelines for children. These menus are rotational across the seasons of the year, and are also established with parent input and suggestions.

We appreciate our families come from all walks of life with different cultures, nationalities, and religions which we welcome and celebrate. Family involvement is cherished at Jellybeans Como, so we welcome contact from our parents and families at any time for any questions or ideas they might have in further developing our centre. We extend that connection and invitation to our prospective families also so please don’t hesitate to contact our centre to schedule a tour.

We look forward to meeting you and embarking on a journey as part of your extended family.

Grace Robinson

I began my career in early childhood education in 2017, and I started at Jellybeans Como in 2021. I am an early childhood teacher specialising in learning disabilities and special needs and believe this greatly supports me in my role as centre manager.

From a pedagogical perspective, I am influenced by the Reggio Emilia approach in that I believe children should be given the opportunity to direct their own learning, and we, as educators, should provide them with endless possibilities to do this.

I believe it is important to treat children like the little people that they are with the same rights as us. We as educators need to understand that they are our future leaders, and we should provide them with experiences that sets them up as lifelong learners.

I am passionate about helping children on their learning and life journey. My goal is to always ensure that the centre is a safe and nurturing space for children, a home away from home.

Attending a dedicated early childhood education and care centre like ours has many learning benefits. Early childhood educators are trained to create a stimulating environment for children, where they can socially interact with their peers and are given a multitude of experiences tailored to their specific needs and interests. As an early learning centre, we also have the ability to provide children with various resources needed to engage them in learning in a hands-on and play-based way.

At Jellybeans Como, we have a multicultural team who are dedicated to creating a nurturing space where children have a sense of belonging.

I believe that creating strong and reciprocal relationships with families, children, and the community is fundamental to success.

See what some of our parents say about our centre:

“I’m so impressed with all the experiences that you give the kids. I was a bit apprehensive about the concept of daycare initially because because I wasn’t familiar with what it involved, but the more I see what you do for the kids the more impressed I am. I could not speak more highly of the centre and all your staff. Even I get excited on Mila’s daycare days to see what she will be doing next! Can you please also thank the staff for the newsletters and photos… I look forward to seeing them and really appreciate the effort that goes into them.”

– Zoe 

“My favourite thing about Jellybeans Como is the staff. They are all kind and caring, and take the time to get to know your child and family even if your children are only in for one or two days. They really care about the kids and that shows, and they are happy to take phone calls and chat at the start and end of the day about how your child went.

We have two children there, the oldest is nearly three and has been going for two years and the youngest is one and has just started. What is really nice is that he is now being cared for by many of the same carers who looked after our daughter when she was that age – it is really nice  to already have that rapport with staff and as I already know them quite well and trust them has made the transition to day care for my youngest very easy. 

With my oldest currently in the Pre-­kindy room , I also like the focus on the educational curriculum and as she moves up to the Kindy room the school readiness program. The facilities are great and since Jenna‐Lee has been manager, communication is excellent. We are very happy at Jelly Beans Como.”

– Laura

“My daughter – 17 months old – has been attending Jelly Beans for the past 5 months. I have nothing but praise for the carers and management. The carers are kind, responsive, interactive with the children, the management is assistive in trying to work together with the parent to secure extra days, etc. The day care is always clean, and there are numerous activities for the children to be involved in. I can highly recommend Jelly Beans to any parent looking for a day care that is the best for their little one. Well done Jenna-Lee and team, you have made our life so much easier.”

– Michelle

“It’s not just childcare, it’s an education. Caelan has learnt so much in his two years here and wakes up sometimes asking to go to Jellybeans. The educators know the children very well and can be trusted to take very good care of them at the same time as instilling values and knowledge.”

– Jen

“I would like to thanks for the fantastic service that Jelly Beans Como providing for the kids. Excellent management, team work, and caring. Highly recommended.”
