We’ve had such a wonderful experience with this daycare over the years. Both of my children have attended since they were babies, and I truly couldn’t speak more highly of the care they’ve received. As a parent, I’ve always felt supported and reassured. The team communicates openly and consistently, which has made a big difference in building trust and confidence. It’s clear they genuinely care about the children and their families. What stands out most is the strong relationships my kids have formed with their educators. They come home excited, sharing stories about their day, the activities they’ve done, and the fun they’ve had. It’s comforting to know they feel happy, safe, and engaged in their environment. I’m incredibly grateful for the positive impact this daycare has had on our family and would highly recommend it to other parents.

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
Ariana 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. Ariana 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
Ariana has finished her lunch and is preparing to take a nap. Her educator changes her nappy, prepares a bottle and reads Ariana a story before her afternoon sleep.
Afternoon
Ariana and some of her nursery friends enjoy some story time and songs outside in the shaded garden. They read ‘Peepo’ which is Ariana’s favourite book.
Morning
Luke 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, Luke is learning about himself and the world around him. Dramatic play is helping Luke identify his interests, abilities, likes and dislikes.
Lunch
Luke is watering the vegetables in the garden. By doing this, Luke is learning the importance of growing and caring for the veggies in the garden. Luke picks a tomato from the garden, which the Chef will use to help make Luke and his friend’s lunch - Spaghetti Bolognese!
Afternoon
Luke 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, Luke is learning how to express himself creatively and how to convey his ideas and emotions. Painting is also helping develop Luke’s hand eye coordination, finger, wrist and hand strength. Making marks on paper is important for self expression as well as later learning.
Morning
Amanda is almost five years old and can’t wait for today’s carpentry experience - she loves building things! Carpentry experiences allow Amanda and her friends to extend their learning through real-life experiences. While participating in carpentry, Amanda is learning to problem solve, experiment and predict. She is also improving her hand eye coordination, manipulative skills and muscular strength.
Lunch
Before Amanda sits down for lunch with her friends and educators, Amanda takes part in the centre’s sports program. Amanda loves sports. Sports helps Amanda improve her flexibility and strength (perfect for growing bodies!). Sports also allows her to practice different skills in a fun and engaging way.
Afternoon
Amanda is off to ‘big school’ next year and she can't wait to start! Amanda 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.
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.
Hello, my name is Mystique and I am the Centre Manager here at Kindy Patch Grovely Early Education Centre.
I started working in early childhood education and care in 2012 and started at Kindy Patch Grovely in May of 2014. I started off as a Centre Float and since then have moved through all the roles from an Assistant, Lead Educator, Assistant Centre Manager and now Centre Manager.
I have always loved children. The best part of the job to me is making the connections with the children and families, some families we have around for years at our centre as their children grow and learn and it’s amazing the bonds you create and memories you make to last a lifetime.
Children are wonderful beings and have so much potential. I have learnt that children are honest and pure and have so much passion and wonder in this world. It has always been my philosophy to keep their passion and wonder alive, providing opportunities for children to learn and encouraging them to try.
Whether your child is starting school next year or in a few years’ time, consider giving them an early start to child care by sending them to an Early Education and Care Centre that provides high-quality early education in a fun, caring and supportive environment.
Our dedicated team of educators are experienced and understand the importance of extending on children’s home-life experiences. Individual programs are developed for each child to assist with and build upon their learning, understanding, communication, self-esteem, and confidence. The team work together to create an inclusive, educational environment that feels like a home away from home for the children in their care.
Choosing an early learning centre is one of the most important and difficult decisions that a parent has to make. At Kindy Patch Grovely, we have open communication at our centre starting from daily posts on our parent app to an email every Friday about our week and upcoming events. From the very first tour to the enrolment paperwork, we are here to help to guide and support you through this difficult transition.

Shani May Hughes
Mystique and her current team of educators genuinely care about not just my own child, but every child in their care. They are attentive, give consistent open communication even in the times of tough conversations and they’re committed to the wellbeing for the children helping them navigate through challenges whether temporary or lifelong. They have also been honest about mistakes made and go the distance to make things right which is more than I can say for many other centres we’ve been through! My son absolutely loves his time at Kindy, so thank you Mystique and big props to Miss Livvy as affectionately known as by her kindy class, and special mentions to all the staff who were still there on our return, always lovely to see a familiar face! Very grateful to be ending our kindy journey on a positive note in a supportive centre :-)
Thank you, Shani May, for your thoughtful and heartfelt review. We truly appreciate your kind words about the team. It is incredibly important to us that every child feels supported, understood, and cared for, and it is wonderful to hear that this has been your experience. We are also grateful for your acknowledgment of the team’s transparency and commitment to making things right. It is so rewarding to know that your son has loved his time at kindy and that your experience has ended on such a positive note. Thank you again for your trust and support, and we wish you and your family all the very best for the next chapter.

Always accommodating and friendly and helpful in assisting us with raising our babies. I would highly recommend Kindy patch Grovely to anyone looking for a friendly and trustworthy, reliable childcare centre
