Hi, my name is Hayley and I am the centre manager at Oakbank. I have been at this centre since 2016, originally as an educator before transitioning to the role of manager. I believe that all children are individuals and need to be nurtured in a safe and caring environment to help them become our future citizens of the world. I am passionate about my staff, and firmly believe that a well rounded balanced team that utilises each educators strengths can only enhance the care we can provide to you and your child.
We have a great centre team who trust and respect each other and share responsibility for the care of the children in our centre, our director started at the centre in the nursery room as an educator and has grown with the centre ensuring that we create a team of amazing educators with different skills and strengths to support our families.

Centre philosophy
Centre philosophy
Mayfield Early Education Oakbank Centre Philosophy
At Genius Oakbank we acknowledge the Peramangk and Kaurna people (pending Native title dispute)as the traditional custodians of Adelaide Hills country, and value and respect their cultural and historical beliefs.
We recognise and respect that every child has the right to know and feel secure in their own culture, religion, language, and abilities.
We believe in a cohesive, inclusive, welcoming, and nurturing environment that provides opportunities to support children’s interests and needs in a play-based learning environment.
We are committed to ensuring that the child’s voice is heard and respected in our centre’s daily practice, and that the children receive responsible, compassionate care and have their opinions valued.
The Early Years Learning Framework and the National Quality Standards as well as Genius’s policies and procedures will form the basis of our practice; so that children can emerge as capable, curious learners and future independent citizens in society .
We aim to work collaboratively with our families and acknowledge and respect them as their child’s primary caregivers as we build strong, trusting relationships with them and their children. We work to make sure each child has an educator they can build a connection with, this educator will document the child’s learning as required .
We aim to provide all children with a sense of belonging as we continue to build strong connections within our centre and local community, now and in the future.

The staff at Mayfield Oakbank do an amazing job caring for and engaging my child in a safe and fun environment. My son loves being at daycare and loves his educators. He has been attending for almost two years and has learned so much, gained friends and is becoming so confident and independent. I can go to work knowing he is in great hands!

They have gone above and beyond to support my daughter. They have been so welcoming as my daughter when my daughter started daycare this year and supported me greatly on her first day (when I was a mess). Not only did do the staff give regular updates on the children in their care, they really get to know the children on a deeper level. I have been so impressed with the staff and facilities at Mayfield and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great local childcare facility. Read more

The staff are so friendly and welcoming. They have been so helpful with my child's dietary needs and helping my eldest make new friends and grow in confidence. Their communication is excellent, I love chatting with the staff when I pick up the kids, hearing about their days, discussing how they can help when one of the kids are going through a different time. Its not just a day care centre it feels like community. Read more

5 Stars – A Wonderful Place for Growing Minds and Happy Hearts! We couldn’t be happier with the care our daughter receives at Mayfield... 5 Stars – A Wonderful Place for Growing Minds and Happy Hearts! We couldn’t be happier with the care our daughter receives at Mayfield Oakbank! From the very first day, it was clear this is more than just a daycare – it’s a nurturing, inspiring environment where kids are truly allowed to thrive. What sets this center apart is their love for the outdoors. Rain or shine, the children spend meaningful time outside exploring, playing, and connecting with nature. Our daughter comes home every day full of stories about her adventures, she absolutely loves bush kindy!! . It’s beautiful to see how much she’s learned simply by being outside and engaged. The staff are caring, attentive, and clearly passionate about early childhood development. They’ve created a place where kids feel safe, confident, and free to be themselves. Most importantly, our daughter is incredibly happy here. She runs in with a smile every morning and comes home content, tired in the best way, and excited for the next day. It’s the first place she’s actually sad when we leave!! We feel truly lucky to have found a place that values childhood joy, exploration, and connection with the natural world. Highly recommend to any parent looking for something special. Read more
