Apple Blossoms Early Learning - South Melbourne
Apple Blossoms Early Learning - South Melbourne Centre overview
Apple Blossoms’ newest Child Care Centre is centrally located in the heart of South Melbourne, near the Dorcas and Clarendon Street intersection. They are a privately owned centre who believe in providing the highest quality care for your children.
At the South Melbourne child care centre, they use organic food prepared by their in-house chef. Their focus is on delicious, low-allergenic food with menus designed especially for growing strong little bodies and minds. They encourage their children to learn about nutrition and food in a fun way – feeding the chooks and collecting eggs is a favourite activity within the centre.
Children can also enjoy growing fresh vegetables in our veggie gardens – and picking the produce when its ready. Apple Blossoms is a purpose built child care centre where they have incorporated worm farms, compost areas and fruit trees.
The natural outdoor classroom has wood structures left in their natural state. Children play and learn with natural elements like mud and water in the mud kitchen. In our adventure playground we use natural materials, in our hand crafted bamboo yurt, water flowing pump and sand play area. The river-like bed and splash areas are designed for appropriate aged children.

Out 1 year old daughter has an absolutely amazing time when she's there. It's evident that the staff in the nursery (baby) room are really dedicated to supporting learning, wellbeing and fun. The centre is also incredibly inclusive without being performative. Natsumi (centre manager) is onto everything and keeps us regularly updated on what's happening within the centre. We couldn't ask for more - highly recommend! Read more

We transferred our son from another local childcare provider and he has absolutely thrived at Apple Blossoms. There was a significant difference in the care offered and the genuine support from the educators. My son has loved his time in the nursery, the educators are amazing, he loves the outdoor play space and the room is regularly changed to meet the changing needs of the children. The food is incredible and they cater to dietary needs. My son recently transitioned to the Toddler room and the team went out of their way to support him to help with the transition. He talks about Apple Blossoms and the educators on his days off from childcare, it just shows what a positive impact they have had on him. Highly recommend Apple Blossoms to other parents. Read more
Hi, L. We appreciate the kind words and are glad we could provide you with a positive experience!

My daughter started in the nursery at Apple Blossoms Daycare at the beginning of the year, at 18 months old and our experience has been wonderful. Prior to this she was just at home with us. One of my favourite moments each day is watching her happily engage with activities and staff before she notices me at pick-up. The nursery offers an excellent mix of indoor and outdoor play, which she thoroughly enjoys. She recently transitioned to the toddler room, which features a spacious outdoor area integrated into the natural surroundings. This setup provides her with countless opportunities for imaginative play. The presence of rabbits and hens is a delightful addition, offering her a connection to nature despite living in the city. The daycare's commitment to organic food is a significant advantage, as not many centres offer this. Most importantly, the educators at Apple Blossoms are exceptional. They are caring, understand each child as an individual, and form meaningful connections. The communication is outstanding, and the support from all staff members is remarkable. Even when my daughter is teary at drop-off, they know exactly how to comfort her and ensure she settles in well. The staff is incredibly attentive, keeping me informed about any changes and discussing everything I need to know. My daughter has learned new baby signs and is supported in her love of colours and numbers, which is fantastic. Apple Blossoms Daycare excels in providing a nurturing, engaging, and supportive environment for my child, and I couldn't be more pleased with our experience. Read more
