Our early learning and long daycare centre offers child care in the North Lakes area, in a modern setting for families living or commuting through the suburbs Munno Para West, Craigmore, Andrews Farm, Evanston & Angle Vale. Creative Garden Early Learning Centre North Lakes provides quality care and education for children from 6 weeks to 6 years and we are conveniently open from 7:00 am to 6:30 pm.

Exceeding NQS

Creative Garden Early Education Centre North Lakes has proudly received an Exceeding rating under the National Quality Standards. The National Quality Standard encompasses the 7 key quality areas that are important for children’s learning and development.

Spacious, natural play areas

Your children will be able to enjoy our outdoor learning environments featuring our very own Bali hut as well as vegetable gardens, water play areas, bike tracks, cubby houses, a boat and an obstacle course. Children will love to learn through play in our environments that also encourage a fit and active lifestyle.

Our indoor environments invite exploration with quality resources and learning experiences. Children marvel, create, and test out their ideas as they play with a range of materials in purposeful play spaces. Literacy and numeracy concepts are embedded in play-based learning, as children engage as architects, storytellers, scientists, artists and designers. We also provide quiet activities for the children as well.

Dedicated team of educators

Our longstanding team of educators are passionate about nurturing and caring for children and supporting them on the early learning journey. Our educators bring their own personality into the rooms allowing for engaging learning environments and building strong relationships with the children. We understand that communication is critical between our staff and families and partner with our families to keep you informed every step of the way. You will also receive daily updates and photos detailing children’s learning and development on our parent App – Xplor.

Nutritious and inclusive menu

We have everything covered here at Creative Garden child care centre, so you won’t need to worry about preparing lunch or snacks. Nutritious meals and snacks created and prepared by our on-site chef. Shared mealtimes between children and educators strengthen relationships, with opportunities to share stories and experiences, and model healthy eating practices.

Approved Kindergarten Program

Our centre proudly offers a kindergarten/preschool program to ensure your child is supported for their transition to school every step of the way. With a focus on language, literacy, numeracy, social skills and more your child will become school ready.

As members of our Creative Garden community, we look forward to partnering with you to provide information, support, and high-quality education and care in your child’s formative years.

Meet our Centre Manager – Emma Whittaker

early childhood teacher lady smilingWorking with children has been a lifelong passion and I have over 30 years of experience working with children of all ages in many different situations and places around the world. I qualified in the UK and worked as a nanny, holiday rep, nursery nurse, Centre Manager and Early Childhood Teacher before moving to Australia in 2012. My qualifications include NNEB, BA (HONS) Early Childhood Studies, Diploma in Leadership & Management.

During my career, I have learnt how all children are unique and special and how to tailor my teaching according to how best children learn. Children learn so much more through interacting with their peers and I have a fun and passionate approach to helping children to learn.

I believe open, honest relationships are the best and only way to build lasting and trusting relationships with families. At Creative Garden Early Learning North Lakes, we have an amazing and dedicated team, they are passionate and committed to providing the best experiences and education for the children in our care.

Hear from our families

“My little one started here this year and the treatment from these amazing people has been awesome, frequently updated through the app on my child’s day and activities everyday, the care they give to the children is amazing, my little one has grown so much under the care and support from the staff and other children, any issues have been dealt with quickly and communication they go above to keep you up to date, thank you so much to all at the North Lakes centre.“

– Jasmine Tilbrook

 

“My daughter starts properly tomorrow but during the few Orientations we’ve had, the ladies at this centre have been very welcoming, caring and easy to talk to. So far their communication has been great, the few ladies I’ve spoken to have asked several questions to find out my daughters interests to make it the best they possibly can for her. Great experience so far.”

– Tishara Nixon

 

“I can not speak more highly of this incredible early learning centre. My son has attended here since January 2020 and every single morning, we are greeted so warmly and genuinely by the every single educator. The highly professional and nurturing staff members, including the director, ACM, room educators, and cook have made us feel like part of the family from day one. They care for our son like he is their own, providing him with love, support, guidance and rich and meaningful learning experiences. I feel so comforted and confident, knowing that I am leaving my son in such a warm, welcoming and supportive environment. Communication is outstanding, we are constantly updated with all information via email and the xplor app. The creative garden family at north lakes has become an extension of our own. Thank you for all that you do for our family and the many others that attend your service.”

– Lauren Westgarth

 

“Picking a place to send my son is hard enough, let alone doing it from interstate before a move. The staff at Creative Gardens North Lakes made me feel at ease right from the get go. The transition is never easy but the staff really do feel like family, and I can’t fault their communication. Highly recommended.”

– Kim

 

“I send my children here and I have had a fantastic experience. From my orientation day to my first drop off for a full day and now 16 months later they have been exceptional. The educators are super caring and understanding of both the parents and children and you can definitely tell they love what they do as the children are always happy and constantly learning new things. Recommended for all parents.”

– Brooke Cairns
