Our daughter has been going to Wimble since she was one year old, a whole 34 years after I went there as a one-year-old. The facilities have changed but the atmosphere of safety, care and warmth has not. The coordinators and educators (many with long-term tenures of up to a decade or more) have always been exceptionally kind and invested in each child’s development and day-to-day experience. The parent community is strong and our family has made many friendships with other families that will continue beyond Wimble. Drop-offs have been easy for years now!

Wimble Street Co-Op is a standout in today's child care sector, offering a refreshing contrast to the increasingly industrialised and impersonal approach of many centres. It’s a nurturing community where attentive, long-term staff create a warm, family-like environment that fosters the growth and development of young minds. The genuine care and commitment of the educators make Wimble Street a wonderful place to be a part of, and has proved to be a secure and supportive space where my child has been able to thrive.

We moved to Melbourne from London and discovered Wimble by pure chance. We have rarely felt so lucky. It is the most astonishing little community of parents, children and educators, all housed in a beautiful building of extraordinary character. The children here benefit from a social, educational and play environment like no other.
Wimble Street Child Care Cooperative is a small parent-run centre that consistently achieves an ‘exceeding’ standard of excellence as assessed by the ACECQA (Australian Children’s Education & Care Authority).
We offer 31 places across three rooms and healthy and delicious meals for the children cooked on-site by our Wimble cooks. We also provide each child with a blanket for nap time and a Wimble Street hat for lots of sun safe outdoor play. Our Centre is open 7.45am to 5.45pm and the Centre provides morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea, catering to your child’s dietary needs.
Our front and middle rooms are multi-aging rooms. There is a significant body of literature that suggests that ‘family groupings’, that is multi-age groups, allow younger children the benefits of learning from and watching the skills of older children. Older children also benefit through the helping and caring relationships they form with their younger peers.
Our three and four year old kinder program is acclaimed by parents and includes one of the first bush kinder programs established in Victoria. You can read more about our programs and teaching and learning philosophy here. A key element of Wimble’s supportive and engaging environment for children must be attributed to our educators who have more than 50 years of working at Wimble between them. Wimble is proud of our record of retaining quality staff, most of our staff members have been at Wimble for 7 years or more and this translates into a stable, consistent and tailored environment of care for our children.
