A really well run centre with beautiful consistent staff. Don’t be fooled by first appearances, this community run Creche is so wonderful and full of engaged staff and ever changing activities. (As a parent who initially sent my child to a different centre that was photo shoot perfect, I found the staff constantly changed and the children were not stimulated.) Now that I am heading off to 4 year old kinder I’m happy to let this not so well kept secret out 😆. Cannot speak highly enough about it. The huge sandpit, water play, little trampolines, costumes, trikes. They have so much fun here and the staff are so well organized and they keep a calm/orderly schedule. The best.

Home away from home! Our son started attending CPCCC when he was around 9 months old and we could not have had a better experience. We were recommended Central Park by a colleague of mine, who said "if you want your child to feel loved and at home, this is the place for you". She could not have been more correct. As he grew, he thrived in their beautiful environment and loved being able to interact with children younger and older than him. I loved the relaxed nature of the centre, with the most kind, dedicated and flexible educators. We have since moved interstate and I often think about how wonderful our experience at CPCCC was. A true gem that I would recommend to anyone and everyone!

Excellent childcare with great, caring and stable carers (rarely ever change staff)

Our first child attended Central Park Child Care from the age of 12 months for one year. After the covid related lockdowns that Melbourne experienced, we had spent a lot of time with our little boy and it was challenging to handover care of him to someone we didn’t know - this was our first experience of someone other than family caring for him. Fortunately for us, CPCC was everything we had hoped for and more. It is a welcoming, comfortable environment with experienced carers. Our little boy loved being there and always talks about the carers. It’s not tangible but something this childcare has that others don’t, from our experience, is soul. It had a warmth and a vibe that we haven’t experienced since. We would recommend CPCC to everyone.

Truly a wonderful centre, with dedicated and caring educators who have provided a nurturing home away from home for our son over the past three years. Couldn't recommend this centre more highly.

My son and daughter both attend CPCC and love it. The carers have been there for a long time and are so kind and caring which is a big comfort. It’s a very homely environment and the kids enjoy the multi age grouping as they can be together.

My son currently attends CPCCC. I can't recommend this centre highly enough. The staff are so caring and kind, they really understand what children need. Lots of comfort given by staff and they go above and beyond to ensure each child is comfortable and cared for. My son enjoys the mixed age centre and loves joining in with the older children. Communication with the centre has always been prompt and easy. It's a really fantastic centre that feels like a family.

What a treasure CPCC is! We started sending my daughter late last year and within 1 week I already could see why she loved it here. The educators are all divine and Marlene the director is so flexible with days/hours. If I have ever wanted to book in an extra day she is most accomodating. The outdoor space is large with a huge sandpit and many other wonderful things to do even feed some animals! Thanks for providing my daughter with beautiful care. Deanna

Both of my daughters have attended CPCCC and we couldn't be happier. The educators are amazing, all have been working there a long time - a testament to the centre. We feel they have a genuinely caring approach, the children always feel welcome and comfortable. We really like the fact you can attend during kinder/school holidays or for a half day if needed when appointments or work come up. Our girls really benefited from the mixed age group - there are no separate "rooms" so they learn to play with children who are both bigger or smaller than themselves. Consider checking CPCCC out if you are looking for a smaller more homely type of quality childcare.

Such a lovely, enriching and caring environment. The staff are all wonderful and the multi age group works like a big family!
