PADDINGTONS is a family-owned and operated kindergarten and childcare centre.
Its management and staff take great pride in the reputation they have developed serving the community over the past 10 years and are committed to providing a safe, stimulating and friendly environment for the families in their care.
The service is in a safe and convenient position directly opposite Target at the rear of the Chirnside Park Shopping Centre, and next to the View Point Medical Centre.
Paddingtons offers a large undercover drop-off and pick-up area and is equipped with ducted heating and refrigerated cooling for year-round comfort.
Large open playgrounds are complemented by shaded areas and a large undercover deck area.
As a Sun Smart centre, Paddingtons staff ensure children have outdoor play at appropriate times with necessary protection and supervision.
Paddingtons also offers half-day bookings, outside school hours care, vacation care as well as discounts for additional days booked by families. The service’s management is confident families will not find better value for money.
Being open 12 hours a day allows families to claim a greater rebate than for a service open for fewer hours.
Childcare has never been so affordable and can cost from as little as $11.15 per day, based on a family receiving the maximum childcare benefit and eligible for the 30 per cent tax rebate.
The centre can provide families with an accurate cost estimate based on booking needs and current circumstances, so drop in or give staff a call.
Paddingtons has achieved the highest level of accreditation and its dedicated team of professional carers are committed to providing the highest possible levels of care and education to ensure children are stimulated and have activities which are tailored to their individual needs.
The centre offers four separate age groups including separate three- and four-year-old kindergartens, which are both staffed by fully qualified kindergarten teachers.
Children can also experience a variety of weekly activities, which includes a dance and movement program and a computer gym.
The centre also has regular visiting shows, acts, educational groups, animal farms and other attractions and various excursions are arranged throughout the year.
