We welcome children from six weeks to 6 years of age - Monday to Friday from 6.30AM to 6PM, 50 weeks of the year.
Our centre provides the all-inclusive fee for parents' peace of mind. From continental breakfast for early starters, all the way through to late evening snacks, all nutritious meals are provided.
In addition, we also provide linen, formula, nappies, wipes and hats.
We are conveniently located in Sandgate, with easy access for families travelling between Newcastle, Maitland, Raymond Terrace and Wallsend.
Nurture and Develop Early Childhood Centre supports play-based curriculum and our educators are inspired by Reggio Emilia approach, RIE and Pikler philosophy. We believe that a child is strong, competent and creative, curious and unique, who needs to be recognised as such. We will encourage independence and self-expression within a nurturing, trusting, respectful, comfortable and safe environment.
Our learning spaces are designed and set up in a way to allow periods of uninterrupted play, which gives children time to explore our natural and repurpose materials. Our learning space includes:
- A purpose built art studio
- Indoor/outdoor learning space
- An open modern kitchen
- Communal dining room
- Landscape designed outdoor areas with vegetable patch & chicken coop
- Mud kitchen & tool bench
