CSIROCare Clayton is a wonderful Not-For-Profit childcare centre. We have enrolled our son here before age one and the decision to come to CSIROCare has been a positive experience for both him and the family. He is close to three and is thriving. The community is very close knit the staff are incredibly caring and dedicated to the children and their wellbeing. The staff are also dedicated to their profession and being the best in the business, resulting in many staff members working for the long term. Our son truly enjoys his time at CSIROCare and rarely wants to leave once pickup time arrives. He speaks positively about his days at the centre and playing with his teachers and his friends. His interpersonal skills, his demeanour are all enhanced by the activities such as sport and music classes, his interactions with his peers and the teaching staff. I highly recommend CSIROCare for anyone considering childcare for their child. They would not be disappointed to enroll here. Thank you CSIROCare Clayton!

We absolutely love CSIROCare Clayton and feel so grateful to be part of it. The staff truly feel like family, and I always feel at ease knowing my kids are in such caring and familiar hands. My son has been through all 5 playrooms and has been happy at every stage, which really shows the consistency and quality of care. My daughter also started when she was just 10 months old, and she has been so well looked after. The long-standing team creates a safe, nurturing environment and genuinely supports each child’s learning and development. It’s such a comforting feeling knowing your children are cared for like family. Highly recommend!

My daughter attends this childcare. Right from day 1, we felt right at home. I really like the community feeling where every educator knows every child by their name. All educators are quite approachable. And I felt that the educators really like their job and love the children. Every day my daughter is quite excited to go to childcare and the kinder at this place.

About CSIROcare Clayton

Our programs for children evolve from a play based learning approach. Through play, children can learn to make sense of the world around them. Through play children can develop social and cognitive skills, mature emotionally, and gain the self-confidence required to engage in new experiences and environments. Play provides a strong foundation for intellectual growth, creativity, problem-solving and basic academic knowledge. We are committed to implementing inclusive programs that meet the needs and abilities of all children and are reflective of their interests. Weekly music & sport programs are included as a further extension to the program. Other special events are also arranged throughout the year.

We strive to build and maintain positive relationships with parents and families and work to enable families to feel a sense of community and belonging. Families are welcome to come in at any time and participate in the program. We value traditional parent involvement activities such as working bees and social events which are ways of building and extending partnerships. In addition, we have many different kinds of social events at different times such as morning/afternoon teas, a Christmas party, celebrations of cultural and religious events, excursions and incursions.

Having authentic partnerships with families is a crucial part of what we do every day.

Our team of more than 20 staff are dedicated to providing high quality care to the children and families within our centre. We have a combination of permanent educators allocated to each room, room support educators and casual relief educators. We also have a qualified cook who prepares all meals on site. 

Our centre is managed by a volunteer committee of management which consists of interested parent representatives.
