One Tree Altona Meadows Children's Service Centre overview
Our service has a warm, family feel.
Our open door policy means that you are welcome to drop in at any time to spend time with your children. You can take as much time as you need to settle your children in when you drop them off in the mornings.
At Altona Meadows we promote healthy eating and offer a range of food for lunch. Stir fries, vegetarian meals, homemade pasties, soups and hearty stews are offered to the children. Children with food allergies and provide cultural diets are catered for.
We foster the Reggio Emilia Philosophy at our service and believe the environment is the ‘third teacher’, encouraging exploration and imagination, reflecting the natural world. You will often see our resident chickens running around the yard with the children. All our educators are passionate about their roles and strive to provide the best possible care for your children.
We are a 58-place service and our:
- babies room caters for infants 0 to 20 months (allocation for 12 babies);
- toddler room caters for children 18 months to 3 years (allocation for 16 children); and
- kindergarten room caters for children 3 years to 6 years (allocation for 26 children).
A funded kinder program runs five hours a day, five days a week by our early childhood teacher. We offer both 3 and 4 year old kinder.

We have been so happy with the Educators and the service at One Tree Altona Meadows! The variety of activities and education has been amazing, always engaging the kids with something new and relevant to the community that they are a part of. The educators are very genuine and have worked with us to bring out the best in our daughter, who is part of the 'COVID generation'. I love the focus on different cultures and indigenous education and awareness too, which is woven through the curriculum, not just a token occasional acknowledgement. Highly recommend this service to prospective parents and families! Read more

My children have been with this childcare provider since 2016. The care and inclusion my children have received has been impeccable. There are always smiles and a welcome for each child and their family and they have a wonderful chef who prepares a huge variety of food for the children at the centre. My children have thrived at this centre and when it’s time for school, we as a family will be sad to leave. A great service all round! Read more

Navigating childcare providers as a first time mum the whole process can feel very overwhelming. After visiting a few different services it was obvious for me that One Tree Altona Meadows was the best. The educators are all warm and kind and genuinely enjoy their important job supporting children. I have been so impressed with the approach that I never bothered looking elsewhere for kindergarten for either of my children as the program offered (delivered by a contemporary fully qualified, energetic and inspiring ECT) is excellent. My children have loved One Tree and I've always valued and appreciated the collaborative supportive and passionate One Tree team. Thoroughly recommend. Read more
