5. Delicious, nutritious, culturally aware hot meals
At our Campbelltown childcare centre we work in partnership with our current families to provide the children with a range of meals that reflect the cultures present at our centre. We understand the importance of introducing a range of flavours and textures at a young age to avoid future picky eaters. We also understand that textures and flavours can provide unwanted sensory input to some children, therefore our meals are flexible and alternative healthy meals are always offered alongside the planned meal to ensure that all children in our care can take on the day with a full belly. Our delicious, nutritious menus are on a 4-week rotation as well as changed between a summer menu and winter menu to ensure variety. Families have the opportunity to give input to the menu, which is presented to our Childcare Centres Chef.

Purposeful Environments: Our Childcare Centre in Campbelltown has 4 rooms that cater for children 0-5 years
Tiny Wanderers Room (0-2 Years)
Our nursery room is designed to ensure children can explore at their own pace. Plenty of comfortable mats have been provided for a fun and engaging tummy-time experience as well as low furniture to encourage those who like to pull themselves up and plenty of foam furniture to provide cushion for those attempting their first steps.
Top 3 Experiences in the Tiny Wanderers Room
- Sensory Experiences i.e Slime, Playdough, Finger painting.
- Gross Motor Experiences i.e climbing with foam mats, rolling a ball, dancing.
- Building strong relationships. We believe the strongest foundation for future educational success is a sense of belonging. Our educators ensure to spend quality time with the children to help them build a strong connection to the centre. At this young age, our Wanderers need reassurance, support, and a warm hug now and then.


Little Explorers Room (2-3 Years)
Our Toddlers Room is designed to support all children’s individual interests by providing a variety of educational areas. These include dramatic play areas for our imaginators, construction areas for our thinkers, arts and craft areas for our creators and so many more. Children have the opportunity to engage in all areas of interest and are always supported by educators to further their knowledge and understanding. In our toddlers’ room, we understand this is where children begin to challenge their social awareness including sharing, empathy and basic connections. The Toddlers in our Campbelltown Childcare Centre are supported to develop these skills at their own pace, and we believe that by supporting them to feel a sense of belonging, they will have the confidence to challenge their social understandings.
Top 3 Experiences in the Littler Explorers Room
- Art and Craft Experiences i.e. painting, collaging and drawing.
- Sensory Experiences i.e. Water Play, Nature Play, Playdough and Slime.
- Dramatic play i.e. kitchen and cooking, home environment with babies, dollhouses.
Preschool 1 Room (3-4 Years)
In our Preschool Room at Redfern Cottage in Campbelltown, we understand the importance of setting strong foundations for future learning. We believe that this age group is really where children become aware of their own interests, needs and challenges. We believe that the support of educators is so important at this age group to help guide children to understanding positive actions and negative actions and helping them become empathic, caring and respectful individuals. At this age, children are so susceptible to their environments and the actions of those around them. That is why our environments, much like in the toddler’s room support children with a variety of interest areas. However, we also support children to work collaboratively by introducing group experiences and group times into the daily routine. Our team of educators introduce the basics of numeracy, literacy, cognitive skills and more to begin to prepare them for the upcoming transition to primary school.
Top 3 Experiences in the Preschool 1 Room
- Experiences related to current learning journeys i.e. animals, dinosaurs, space, nature, cultures, transport etc.
- Fine motor experiences such as tong experiences, drawing with tri-tip pencils, threading.
- Self-help experiences i.e. putting on own shoes & jumper, collecting belongings (water bottle, shoes & hats), wiping own nose etc.


Preschool 2 Room (4-5 Years)
In our Preschool 2 Room in Campbelltown our team of experienced educators ensure that programs and experiences are developed to challenge the children’s critical thinking whilst harnessing their individual personalities, to ensure a smooth transition to Primary School. We understand the importance of introducing a school readiness program to the children whilst still ensuring they are confident in their social and emotional skills as well as self-help and resilience.
Our learning environment is purposefully set out to ensure children can explore the areas that interest them most and allow our educators to add valuable input into their learning and help to extend their thinking. Our routines are purposefully flexible as we understand the importance of allowing an engaged child to continue their learning. In our Preschool 2 Room, we are confident that we are setting strong foundations for all future learning and ensuring the children are the most confident they can be going into their next learning journey.
Top 3 Experiences in the Preschool 2 Room
- Construction experiences i.e. train sets, Lego, magnetic shapes etc.
- Numeracy activities i.e writing numbers in sand, identifying patterns.
- Literacy activities i.e. magnetic letters, writing own name, literacy games.
