About the Curriculum
About the Curriculum
“Let the child be the scriptwriter, director and the actor in their own play” - Magda Gerber
Nursery Space: 6 weeks – 2 years
Learning starts from before birth, and our Educators have created a welcoming and nurturing nursery environment where each baby feels safe to explore and discover new things - through their senses, their communication and cues (body language, facial expression and sounds) and by experimenting. On any given day you can see the nursery children engaging in all types of play, water play, music time, story time and more. Every day provides a brand new, exciting adventure for our babies to support their development, learning and wellbeing!
Toddler Space: 2 - 3 years
Our teachers and educators encourage the children to learn through play to help enhance their sensory-motor development. This happens through carefully planned music, dance, games and reading experiences.
On any given day the Toddler children can be seen developing their numeracy by building a tower, sorting objects, pointing and identifying shapes and patterns and participating in counting songs and games.
Children in our toddler space are encouraged to participate in group play. Group play is important as it helps our toddlers develop important social skills such as, turn taking, developing self confidence and emotional self regulation. Our team helps children through talking, planning and role modelling.
Kindergarten Space: 3 – 6 years
Kindergarten is a unique time for learning with peers and developing skills for later learning including confidence and curiosity, important skills for starting school. Our play-based program encourages active engagement in learning and supports a range of positive developmental outcomes including resilience, independence, critical thinking and creativity.
The oral language supports literacy learning. A child’s oral language ability is the best predictor for later success in learning to read and write. Hearing the sounds within a language is the first critical step for all literacy learning. Our team supports our Kindergarten children's development by engaging in rich discussions, introducing new vocabulary as part of everyday conversations, as well as singing, playing games, and reading with the children daily.
Throughout the Kindergarten year, children use their language to share ideas, ask questions, express themselves, and connect with peers and adults in social settings.
Social-emotional skills, including the ability to self-regulate emotions, is supported through group learning environments. Our team supports each child’s social and emotional development by labelling and talking about emotions and supporting appropriate responses as together, they engage in new and challenging situations. Lastly, ensuring that all children are ready for the ‘big school’ by preparing them for all that ‘big school’ has to offer.
Morning
Diane is 11 months old and enjoys sensory play outside in the sandpit with her friends. She sits near her educator who helps teach her how to scoop the sand into the bucket. Diane is learning how to dig, carry, and move the sand. She is also exploring texture and learning what happens to the sand when she adds water!
Lunch
Diane has finished her lunch and is preparing to take a nap. Her educator changes her nappy, prepares a bottle and reads Diane a story before her afternoon sleep.
Afternoon
Diane and some of her nursery friends enjoy some story time and songs outside in the shaded garden. They read ‘Peepo’ which is Diane’s favourite book.
Morning
Jacob is two and a half years old and loves to start his day at the centre outside on the climbing equipment. His friends join him, and together they pretend to be pirates on a ship looking for treasure. Through this exciting dramatic play, Jacob is learning about himself and the world around him. Dramatic play is helping Jacob identify his interests, abilities, likes and dislikes.
Lunch
Jacob is watering the vegetables in the garden. By doing this, Jacob is learning the importance of growing and caring for the veggies in the garden. Jacob picks a tomato from the garden, which the Chef will use to help make Jacob and his friend’s lunch - Spaghetti Bolognese!
Afternoon
Jacob enjoys art, and today he is painting a beach scene from a recent family holiday. He adds the finishing touches and sets the painting aside to dry; so that he can take it home to share with his family.
While painting, Jacob is learning how to express himself creatively and how to convey his ideas and emotions. Painting is also helping develop Jacob’s hand eye coordination, finger, wrist and hand strength. Making marks on paper is important for self expression as well as later learning.
Morning
Taylor is almost five years old and can’t wait for today’s carpentry experience - she loves building things! Carpentry experiences allow Taylor and her friends to extend their learning through real-life experiences. While participating in carpentry, Taylor is learning to problem solve, experiment and predict. She is also improving her hand eye coordination, manipulative skills and muscular strength.
Lunch
Before Taylor sits down for lunch with her friends and educators, Taylor takes part in the centre’s sports program. Taylor loves sports. Sports helps Taylor improve her flexibility and strength (perfect for growing bodies!). Sports also allows her to practice different skills in a fun and engaging way.
Afternoon
Taylor is off to ‘big school’ next year and she can't wait to start! Taylor and her friends will be visiting the local primary school next week. In preparation for the visit, the class is creating a list of questions to ask the Principal and school children.
Health and Nutrition
Health and Nutrition
Our centre chef prepares and cooks healthy and nutritious meals daily, catering to the unique dietary requirements of every child. We believe that by encouraging active participation (such as growing their own fruit and vegetables, preparing, and finally cooking!) children learn to appreciate and understand the importance of healthy eating.
Our centre offers children nutrient-rich, unprocessed, and seasonal whole foods – created to delight the fussiest eaters.

Hi my name is Montana, and I am the Centre Manager here at Buggles Beckenham. I have been working in early learning since 2014 and joined Buggles Beckenham in 2024. I hold a Diploma in Early Childhood Education and a Certificate IV in Leadership & Management. Throughout my career with G8 Education, I have taken on various roles across different centres. This experience has enabled me to build strong and capable teams, achieving quality outcomes for children and families. I particularly love developing strong, trusting relationships with my team, the children, and their families. I believe that a strong team culture leads to better outcomes and creates a nurturing environment where everyone can thrive.
I have learned that a one-size-fits-all approach does not work in early childhood education. I advocate for a holistic approach to cater to each child’s unique needs. Dedicated and passionate, I am committed to supporting children on their learning and life journeys.
Enrolling children in an early education and care service offers numerous benefits, such as peer-to-peer friendships, school readiness, and the opportunity to be cared for and educated by skilled early childhood educators following the Early Years Learning Framework.
At Buggles Beckenham, our team is long-standing, with many members having been with the service for over five years. As a smaller centre, our team gets to know all the children, creating a homely and family-like atmosphere. I support families by greeting them with a smile every day and listening to their needs, fostering strong relationships through open and friendly communication.

She started in the babies room and is now in the toddler room. Everyday we are greeted with happy and energetic staff. The centre manager Merrisa gets involved with the kids with singing, story time etc and doesn’t just sit in the office. One thing that I absolutely love is how loving and nurturing every single educator is and their programs actually involving the children’s interest. Communication is fantastic, I always know what my daughter had for lunch, what activities she had done and if they are any changes coming to the centre. Example: They were upgrading the kindy outside area. I highly recommend Buggles Beckenham! By far the best childcare I have put my children in. Read more

I'm not sure words are sufficient to express how amazing this centre is and how grateful I am to have them care for my child. I have three children of various ages and over the years have had them attend approximately 4/5 different centre, although they were all nice, Buggles in Beckenham have by far been the absolute best. I currently have a very stubborn and independent 3 year who is only clingy to mum when she chooses, She loves attending buggles and everyday she is smiling, learning exceptional things and even does not want to come home at the end of the day. All the educators here make you feel comfortable, get to know your child and genuinely take an interest in you to develop a trusting and caring relationship for the best outcome of your child. Nothing is ever too much trouble and you never feel like you are burden or that your child is. Also the menu of food makes me jealous. You wont be disappointed by this centre. Thank you all for so much love and care over the years. Read more
