Everything about this place is great. My daughter loves going to the care everyday. Staff is welcoming. The new kinder teacher is great.

- Mandy K

Child’s Play Mambourin has been an amazing experience for our family. The staff are incredibly friendly and truly go above and beyond for both children and parents. They take the time to listen and provide a very detailed tour, making sure parents understand everything and feel comfortable. The management team is clearly passionate, and that passion reflects in the quality of their work and the environment they create. The educators are calm, warm, and dedicated, which shows in their day-to-day practice with the children. It’s reassuring to see such genuine care and commitment. Highly recommend this centre to any parent looking for a nurturing and professional place for their child.

About Child's Play Mambourin

Located at 121 Callaway Street, our newest family-owned centre offers high-quality care and early education for children aged 6 weeks to 6 years. Guided by parents and educators Sam and Ian Johnson, we are committed to building strong connections with families and the community.

Our centre features eight beautifully designed rooms, each reflecting familiar home and community settings to help children feel safe, confident, and ready to learn. With separate nursery, toddler, and kinder rooms, we support every stage of early development. 

Our calming indoor spaces use natural timber furniture and soft, welcoming tones, while our outdoor areas spark imagination and physical play, because every day should feel like a new adventure!

At Child’s Play Mambourin, we believe in play with purpose, and that Every Child Matters. Join us and be part of a community where children feel cared for, safe, and inspired to grow.

Centre philosophy

Centre philosophy

At Child’s Play ELC, our philosophy is simple: every child matters. We believe each child is unique, capable and deserving of care, respect and opportunities to thrive. Our centres are guided by values of inclusion, belonging, kindness and respect, creating a place where families feel supported and children feel at home.

As immigrants from the UK, our founders Sam and Ian Johnson came to see childcare as an extension of family. After many years working in education, they dreamed of creating their own centres where children are truly nurtured and families feel deeply connected. That vision lives on today, in welcoming spaces that feel like a second home and give every child the chance to grow into a confident, compassionate learner.

Health and Nutrition

Health and Nutrition

We know healthy food fuels happy learning. That’s why our in-house chefs prepare fresh, seasonal meals and snacks daily, designed to give children the nutrients they need to grow and thrive.

Our meals are as diverse as the little learners we serve, featuring a variety of cuisines, including Mexican, Italian, Indian, and classic Australian dishes. Plus, we’re flexible – adjusting our menu based on children’s needs and preferences, making mealtimes a truly delightful experience.

About the Curriculum

About the Curriculum

Our curriculum is inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach, which sees every child as curious, capable and full of potential. We focus on seven key areas of learning, including literacy, numeracy, creativity, wellbeing, social and emotional development. This balance helps children build confidence and skills for both school and life.


Learning happens through play, real-world experiences and meaningful connections with others. Our educators listen to children’s ideas and guide their learning in ways that reflect their interests and cultural background. This creates a program that feels fun and engaging while also supporting each child to grow into a confident and compassionate individual.

Kindergarten/Preschool Programs

Kindergarten/Preschool Programs

Our kindergarten program is led by qualified kindergarten teachers who guide children through a rich, play-based curriculum inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach. With a strong focus on school readiness, we help children grow in confidence, independence and a love of learning.

Alongside literacy, numeracy and creativity, we celebrate the little milestones that make a big difference: putting on jackets, packing bags and caring for belongings. These everyday achievements, supported by our caring teachers, give children the skills and self-assurance they need to step into school with excitement and pride.
