About this service

Our program and approach

When children play and explore, their imagination and curiosity are sparked – they enjoy learning and are inspired to continue learning more.

Our play-based program intentionally provides a wide range of engaging opportunities and activities based on the Early Years Learning Framework.

We have a strong focus on building a community of inquiry and investigation. Our journeys into the local community encourage meaningful conversations and extend children’s natural curiosity.

A wonderful centre with beautiful staff. Our son started in the baby room and is now in the pre-school room. During our time at KU Phillip Park we have felt our son has been supported to grow and learn with the help of the lovely team of educators. We feel his interests are explored and his curiosity encouraged. Could not recommend the centre more highly.

We are so happy with KU Phillip Park - our 18 month old son has been with the centre for just over 2 months and it has been a seamless transition with so much support from all the staff who are super thoughtful, knowledgeable and caring. I feel so comfortable knowing our son is there - he’s already built strong bonds with the staff and other kids which has been so lovely to see. Can’t recommend them highly enough!

I would highly recommend KU Phillip Park. We were hoping to send our child to a daycare closer to home but there was no availability so we looked at a number of others. After a tour of KU we knew it was the place for our child. The outdoor play area is great and you couldn’t ask for a more skilled and caring group of educators. The staff really take a personal interest in the children and their families and are always willing to help out with any issues that you might be having - in our case a child who is a tricky sleeper. When a place came up at the daycare closer to home we decided to stay at KU Phillip Park because it’s hard to imagine a better environment for our child.

We couldn't be happier with our experience at KU Childcare! From the moment we enrolled our 4-year-old daughter, we've been consistently impressed. The staff is incredibly professional, dedicated, and skilled at creating a nurturing and stimulating environment.The tailored approach to learning is outstanding. The curriculum is designed to cater to each child's individual needs and interests, promoting holistic development in a fun and engaging manner. The facilities are top-notch, providing ample opportunities for exploration, creativity, and social interaction.Communication with the staff is excellent, with regular updates and insights provided on our daughter's progress, especially since Sheryl has taken the management role.Overall, KU Childcare has exceeded our expectations. We wholeheartedly recommend it to any parents seeking high-quality care and education for their child's early years.

My kids enjoy their time at this center. It's like their second home. Although we moved a little farther away from the center after my older son turned 6, we still send my younger son here.The spacious outdoor and indoor play areas are filled with the joy and laughter of children every day. If your kids are nature-loving and sporty like mine, this center is an ideal place to go. The directors and educators are very kind, supportive, and professional. There are several staff members I have known for years. They always put kids' safety first and provide them with lots of opportunities and resources to build their social skills and learn through play. Can’t recommend this centre more!
