I’m so happy with our experience at Child’s Play ELC Mambourin! My little one, Aaron, absolutely loves going every day, and it’s easy to see why. The educators are incredibly loving, patient, and attentive — they truly care about each child’s wellbeing and growth. A special mention to Teena, who has been so helpful and supportive from the start. Her kindness and genuine care make such a difference. The food is wonderfully healthy and delicious, something I really appreciate as a parent. The center itself is always spotless, with great attention to hygiene and safety. After trying a few other daycares in Mambourin, I can confidently say Child’s Play ELC Mambourin stands out as the best — not only for their caring staff and high safety standards but also for their creativity, cleanliness, and friendly atmosphere. I can’t recommend Child’s Play ELC Mambourin enough — they’ve created such a nurturing and positive environment for Aaron to learn and grow!

Child’s Play Mambourin has been absolutely fantastic for our family. The educators are warm, enthusiastic, and truly go above and beyond to make every child feel supported and excited to learn. The centre is vibrant, well‑organised, and full of engaging activities that spark creativity and confidence. Communication is excellent, and I always feel completely at ease knowing my child is in such caring hands. Highly recommend the center for those looking for the best care for their kids!

Get To Know Us

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.
