The Nursery

The Yarragum room – purpose built for babies

A light-filled spacious room with its own yard provides a safe and nurturing environment for our babies.

We have a ratio of 1 educator to 4 children. Our team consists of experienced and qualified educators with a room leader that supports the staff in the delivery of the educational program. Our educators develop strong relationships with families and value the primary role that families play in their child’s life.

The flexible program meets the individual needs of each child. We place great importance on relationships and nurturing each child’s needs and interest. Programs aim to stimulate enquiry, engage the senses, creativity and imagination and offer choices for our babies.

We link our practice to the Victorian Early Years Learning Practice Principles and outcomes:

• Children have a strong sense of identity
• Children are connected with and contribute to their world
• Children have a strong sense of wellbeing
• Children are confident and involved learners
• Children are effective communicators

Our Management and Administrative team supports and guides the staff to implement the Early Years Learning and the National Quality Frameworks.

• Program supports individual needs of each child
• Peer learning and teaching
• Nurture, care and education
• Home like setting

The centre operates from 7.30am to 6.00pm. Nappies, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea and a light late snack is provided.
