PLAY Childcare & Kinder

PLAY Childcare & Kinder offers families a holistic and nature-based childcare experience that cherishes the precious time that is the early years.

Owned and operated by three families (with nine children between them) PLAY sits atop the Mountain High Shopping Centre and provides a natural and open-air haven in the heart of Bayswater.

At Play, we'll gently guide children to think creatively, communicate openly, solve problems collaboratively and confidently navigate social situations.

A Little About Our Centre

Spread across two levels, our dedicated Nursery and Kinder areas are connected by a central staircase, allowing these differing developmental groups to learn, play, run and explore effortlessly within their own purpose-built spaces.

Full-height glass sliding doors bathe the Kinder early learning rooms with sunlight and encourage children to move easily between indoor and outdoor learning opportunities. With views out to the Dandenong Ranges, this outdoor space provides a natural wonderland for this energetic and inquisitive age group to explore - featuring a towering fort, edible Children’s Kitchen Garden, winding creek bed and playful sand pit.

As you enter our Nursery space, you are immediately transported to a calm oasis. The early learning rooms are filled with soft lighting, textural furnishings, and carefully curated niches where Educators and children can spend quality time together in small groups. The expansive outdoor space is sheltered from the sun with tunnels, undulating hills, a water play space and a large sandpit all cleverly designed to allow our littlest ones to explore their emerging capabilities in a safe and all-weather environment.

We can't wait to welcome your family to PLAY!
