What the parents say
What the parents say
I love the introduction of Kindy Hub, and receiving daily updates about my child’s day through the daily reports and photos.
Sarah - parent
The staff and managers are wonderful and professional in all aspects of the service. I am especially grateful for the extra support from the staff, while trying to find strategies to assist my son with transitioning to the Kinder Room. I have consistently found the staff willing to assist and even go above and beyond to help my young children feel happy and cared about while they attend the centre.

About the curriculum
About the curriculum
At Moorefield Park Childcare Centre, the Educators believe that play is the highest form of discovery and learning. Through play, children learn to make sense of and construct ideas about their world – the people, places, objects and experiences they encounter every day.
Valuing the capabilities, imaginations, and curiosities of children is paramount to the centre’s play-based program. The centre emphasises children’s voices through their supportive, responsive Educators who provide opportunities for children to fulfil their capabilities and explore their world.
The centre’s goal is to ensure that children are cared for and educated in a way that inspires a love of learning that continues throughout their entire educational journey.
Children of all abilities have the right to an education that is meaningful, appropriate and equivalent to that of their peers. At Moorefield Park inclusion is viewed as the opportunity to learn together and from one another.
Educators view childhood as a time to develop skills and knowledge at the pace which is right for each individual child. They place significant emphasis on ensuring that all children are supported to participate in learning and celebrate the uniqueness that each child contributes.
Educators acknowledge that everyone views the world from a different perspective; therefore, everyone must open their minds to the new possibilities and make room for different perspectives while enriching the experience for everyone along the way.
The children are cared for in the following groups:
- Nursery
- Tiny Tots
- Toddlers
- Junior Kindy
- Kindergarten
Health & Nutrition
Health & Nutrition
At Moorefield Park Childcare Centre, the children enjoy a wide variety of seasonal and local produce, with a menu that provides more than half of their daily nutrition requirements. The chef-designed meals also include many vegetables and herbs from the centre’s own vegetable gardens. The centre works in consultation with families to accommodate any child’s allergies, intolerances, their cultural background or other family preferences.
Mealtimes provide an important opportunity for children to develop good eating habits and learn about nutrition and food variety. They are also an important time for social interaction with other children and adults.
The Educators adopt meal time strategies to teach children about good nutrition. These include things like involving children in creating the menu, encouraging younger children and toddlers to talk about healthy food choices, providing children with opportunities to eat food and engage in the mealtime routines of different cultures, talking with children about nutritious food during mealtimes.

Centre Reviews

So many emotions and experiences I have had with this centre but the trauma they made me feel will never leave me, a place I hoped would be a safe place like home turned to a disaster child after child. October last year I arrived to the centre to quickly become aware my child was not at the centre and had been signed out. I gave the centre 20 minutes while they did their protocols of premier walks etc before I called it quits and called police. Their main priory was to call area manger. Police arrived and after discussing his profile and information etc we started a search party coming to a end closer to the 45 min mark later he was discovered face down in pillows with a jumper on unresponsive (has known febrile seizures). My friend and another worker found him my friend picking him up shaking him until he finally was dazed awake. He was in a pool of sweat and later discovered he had been unattended for more than 2 hours. The room leader couldn’t find him and as a result has just signed him out the centre had given her many training nights after this however failed to sack her. 2; Three of my children attended this service two of them being diagnosed with different disabilities requiring OT etc in the centre to assist them. I would waste so much of their funding as the rolling door of staff leaving after 6 months was not even funny I had to make the decision to save his funding for elsewhere. I would then get calls that he was on top of the cubby house and they couldn’t get him down, he urinated on other children he blocked the bathroom and many more things but never could I understand a child slower then others not being watched a little more nether the less how he had time to do the above if he was supervised correctly. This saddens me in the result of this many of their general caring staff have resigned due to the stress and centre services. This centre is by far the worst I have ever seen and I have been with the centre over 5 years I was glad to leave. Read more

They do not do extra curricular activities like they claim to. The centre hasn’t had a long term centre director OR 2IC since 2021. So often do dangerous incidents happen and it’s just swept under the rug (I could easily name a few I have seen). The educators are so wonderful but have no help from their higher ups at head office. Head office comes in for a day then leaves. Educators beg for assistance from them and get ignored. All head office cares about is parents/guardians money. Educators don’t get given adequate breaks and sometimes can only have 15 minute lunches during their whole 7hour shift and are made to stay back for to do overtime because of ratios. Educators also do not get paid ANY overtime they do. 44 children in a 3-4yr olds room is way too many children and with that high of a number the children are not being looked after adequately that each child deserves. As well as 16-20 children in the babies room. The rooms do not get cleaned properly throughout the day and sometimes are not cleaned properly the whole day. The staff have no assistance for children who struggle behaviour wise. Educators try their best to calm heightened children down and sometimes other children and staff become injured in the process. I know of some staff who have literally ended up with broken bones. The centre cannot hold as many children as they say due to staffing. The whole centre needs an overhaul. I do not recommend anyone to send their child/children there or anyone to work there. Read more
Dear Corinne, your feedback is important to us as we continually strive to build on our service. We would like to directly address your claims about our classrooms not being in ratio. Although we have experienced staffing limitations, we have kept families on our waitlist rather than enrolling and used multiple other operational strategies to maintain required ratio at all times. It is also our highest priority to find and retain the right management team for our centre and ensure all our team members feel valued and appreciated. We are excited to see our new leadership team flourish at Moorefield Park. We encourage you to call 1300 001 154 and ask to speak to a member of our Operations Team, so we can investigate and address your concerns.

My son didn't attend this service long due to unforeseen outside circumstances. When he did attend he was so happy to be around other children and the kind educators in the babies room. He would eat all the delicious food and was starting to create strong bonds with the educators. Read more
