Native garden, bike track and age-specific yards
Each age group has its own outdoor space. Babies explore a native garden, sensory path and small hill with a slide, while toddlers have sensory pathways, water play and a home corner. The kindergarten yard includes climbing frames, bridges, scooters and a bike track.
Home-like rooms designed for each stage
Our indoor environments change as children grow, from calm nursery spaces to busier toddler and kindergarten rooms. Children can explore construction, creative arts, music and movement, sensory play and quiet areas suited to their age and interests.
Strong educator team with low turnover
Many educators have been part of our centre for more than a decade, with members of our leadership team bringing 13 to 15+ years at Jellybeans Padbury. This continuity means children and families see familiar educators throughout their time with us.
Individual Learning Plans and inclusion support
Individual Learning Plans are developed with families around each child’s strengths, interests and goals. Educators can adapt routines, environments and communication approaches, work with allied health professionals and use visuals, gestures and familiar routines for children learning English as an additional language.
Kindergarten and school readiness
Our Early Childhood Teachers lead dedicated Pre-Kindy and Kindergarten learning. Children explore early literacy and numeracy, communication, problem-solving and critical thinking while practising routines, independence, collaboration and other skills they will use at school.
KIDDO movement program
Children take part in KIDDO activities that develop physical literacy through movement and active play. Experiences focus on coordination, balance, strength and fundamental movement skills while giving children regular opportunities to be active.
Nutritious meals each day
Our in-house cook prepares breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea and additional snacks each day. Allergies and individual dietary requirements are catered for, with meals planned to meet children’s nutritional needs.
Family communication and flexible care
Families stay connected through daily app updates, newsletters, one-on-one conversations and centre events. Our centre can also offer casual care, additional days, flexibility around bookings and holiday care where availability allows.

Pre-Kindy and Kindergarten
Our Early Childhood Teachers deliver dedicated Pre-Kindy and Kindergarten programs that prepare children for school without rushing them into formal learning.
Intentional teaching and play-based experiences help children develop early literacy and numeracy, communication, critical and creative thinking, problem-solving and collaboration.
Children also practise:
- Following routines and listening in group settings
- Expressing their ideas and working with others
- Making decisions and taking greater responsibility
- Building resilience and navigating friendships
- Developing the social, emotional and practical skills needed for school
The goal is for children to leave feeling capable, ready to learn and positive about the move to school.

Frequently asked questions
A centre tour is a convenient way to experience the childcare centre of your choice and meet with our qualified educators at a time that is suitable for your family’s schedule. Click here to book a tour online.
On the day of the tour, you can observe practices and interactions within the centre environment. You’ll be able to see all the rooms and playgrounds, ask the team members any questions you have in mind, and get all the information you need to make the best decision for your child.
Enrolling is simple, and our Family Support Team will guide you through each step.
First, find your local centre and book a tour so you can meet the team and explore the learning environment. If the centre is the right fit and a place is available, you’ll receive an enrolment offer for your child. If a place is not currently available in your child’s age group, we can add your child to the waitlist and keep you updated.
To finalise your enrolment, you’ll complete an online enrolment form through a secure link sent by our Family Support Team. You’ll also need to provide key details and documents, including your child’s birth certificate, Medicare details, immunisation history statement and, if eligible, your Child Care Subsidy details.
Before your child’s first day, you may be invited to attend a Stay and Play session. This gives your child time to explore the centre, meet their educators, and start feeling comfortable in their new environment. Once your paperwork is complete, your child is ready to start their early learning journey with us.
Starting child care is a big milestone, and a little preparation can help your child feel more comfortable and confident.
Before your child’s first day, you can talk positively about their new centre, explain what their day might look like, and practise small routines such as packing their bag, saying goodbye, washing hands and sitting down for meals. You may also like to visit the centre with your child, meet their educators and ask our team about what to bring on the first day.
When your child starts, our educators will take the time to get to know your child’s routine, interests, comfort items and individual needs. Settling in looks different for every child, so we work closely with families to help children feel safe, supported and ready to learn.
Most of our child care and early education centres offer nappies and wipes, sunscreen and hats, as well as nutritious meals prepared by our in-house cook. Some centres also provide sheets and formula, so you may not need to remember to pack them.
For nursery children, be sure to bring: nappy rash cream, dummies, bottles and teats, comfort toys or blankets, three spare outfits, spare socks and a plastic bag for wet clothes.
For toddlers and preschool or kindergarten-aged children, it’s best to bring: spare underwear, water bottle or sippy cup, sun hat, closed-toe shoes, two spare outfits, spare socks and a plastic bag for wet clothes.
Plus, anything else your individual child may need, such as breast milk, a sleeping bag, a comforter or medication.
It’s best to speak to your centre of choice for a full list of everything included.
Jellybeans uses Xplor Home as our family communication app. It is the best and easiest way to keep track of your child’s day.
After you enrol your child with the centre, you can utilise Xplor Home to book child care days, manage your account, receive the photographs that capture your child’s learning, learn about your child’s progress, as well as keep up-to-date with upcoming centre events and important information.
If your child shows signs of an infectious illness when they arrive at the centre or becomes sick during the day, you may be notified that you need to make alternative arrangements or pick up your child from the centre and keep them home until they are no longer infectious. While we understand that this can be inconvenient, Jellybeans is committed to maintaining a healthy environment and reducing the risk of infection for all children.
Under the Child Care Subsidy (CCS), families are allowed 42 absence days per child, per financial year. These can be taken for any reason, including public holidays and when children are sick, without requiring families to provide documentation.
