Our childcare centre is conveniently located on Pickering Street, and we've transformed a repurposed church into a beautiful center. With its remarkable high ceilings and stunning stained glass windows, it's a unique and inspiring environment for children.
Outside, we provide a fantastic outdoor play area that encourages children to explore, complete with gardens, a fort, and a cubby house for their adventures. Our on-site kitchen is where our dedicated cook prepares delicious and fresh meals, ensuring your child's nutritional needs are well met. Inside, our inspired learning environment offers a place for your child's growth and development to flourish.
Our staff is known for going the extra mile in caring for and nurturing each child who walks through our doors.

Nursery
6 Weeks - 15 Months
Infants and young toddlers are in the early stages of their development. The focus of a childcare centre in this stage is primarily on providing a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment with a large focus on assisting children to reach their milestones and building strong relationships with our families. Our team prioritise building secure attachments with each child, fostering a sense of trust and emotional security.
Toddler
15 Months - 2 Years
The toddler stage is a time of rapid growth and exploration. Children at this age are developing their independence, language skills, and social abilities. At Mayfield, the focus shifts towards fostering self-help skills, promoting language development, and encouraging social interactions and play. Activities may include imaginative play, early literacy and numeracy experiences, sensory exploration, and physical activities that enhance coordination and motor skills.
Pre-Kindy
2 - 3.5 Years
The pre-kindergarten stage marks a significant period of cognitive, social, and emotional development. Children in this stage are curious, eager to learn, and starting to engage in more structured activities. The focus of Mayfield Enoggera during the pre-kindergarten stage is on developing early literacy and numeracy skills, fostering problem-solving abilities, Toilet training, and promoting social-emotional development.
Kindy
3.5 - 5 Years
Kindergarten is the final stage before children transition to formal schooling. At this stage, children have developed foundational skills and are ready for more structured learning experiences.We ensure our programs align with the early years of schooling, focusing on preparing children for a successful transition. The emphasis is on further developing literacy and numeracy skills, fostering critical thinking, promoting social skills, and encouraging independence and self-regulation. Activities may include phonics and reading instruction, basic math concepts, problem-solving tasks, science exploration, creative arts, and collaborative projects.

Meet Bek
Hi, Im Bek, I'm the Centre Manager here at Enoggera. I hold my Diploma of children's services and have been in the industry for over 16 years. I have a passion for Education in the early years as well as working in partnerships with families to ensure our children feel safe, secure and supported as a whole. Here at Enoggera, my goal is to create a space where children feel connected to their community filled with excitement, opportunities to grow and learn, out of the box experiences and lots of laughter and creativity. I feel its important to include both Families, Educators and the wider community while shaping their little minds.
Frequently Asked Questions
We provide most of the essentials that may be needed throughout the day. We ask that you pack and label; sheets, hat, spare clothes, water bottle, comfort items/dummies. And if your child requires a sleeping bag, milk bottles, formula, or breast milk.
We offer orientation sessions for families to come along before the first day to have a short play with us. These sessions are usually close to the first day and act as a good lead in. It gives you, your child, and the educators time to get to know each other and the opportunity to ask any questions or provide important information. These sessions are usually organized once enrolment is confirmed, they last for 2 hours and are free of charge. Talking about it at home is also a great way to get your child excited for all the amazing experiences they will get to be a part of.
Be positive! Make the drop off a happy experience and take a few minutes to help your child to settle in. The mornings can be busy, but taking some time to find an activity your child enjoys and saying goodbye can help for a smoother start to their day. There will always be a warm and caring educator on hand to help. You are always welcome to give the centre a call after you have left for an update.
The educator to child ratio varies depending on state and territory, we meet or exceed this ratio. 0 to 24 months the ratio is 1:4 in all states and territories. 24 to 36 months the ratio is 1:5 in QLD and SA, and 1:4 in VIC. Over 36 months the ratio is 1:11 in QLD, SA and VIC. You can find out more on the ACECQA website.
It is important to take the time to find a centre where you feel confident and comfortable and know your child will be safe, happy, and protected. Find a centre that provides a learning environment where careful guidance and role modelling by educators can help children become competent, independent and develop valuable life skills. It is also important to consider aspects that will impact your family such as location, cost, and inclusions.
All Mayfield Early Education centres aim to meet or exceed the National Quality Standards and Regulatory requirements of an early childhood service. We regularly update our policies and procedures to ensure that children, family, and educators are aware of their requirements and responsibilities to help keep children in our care happy, safe and protected. As a parent or guardian of a Mayfield Early Education centre, you can find out more by visiting www. mayfield.com.au/policies.

Reviews
Our daughter has been attending Mayfield Early Education for approximately 8 months and without fault, smiles everytime she walks through the doors to the embrace of educators. The educators are informative and keep us up to date with progress and behaviours displayed, along with daily photos and a snapshot of activities via the app xplor. The app offers a feature to notify the centre when your child is sick or will be away for holidays. There are often family based activities and opportunities for family to become involved in their childrens activities. We highly recommend Mayfield to families after community based education and care.

My daughter attends 5 days a week. She loves her time at Mayfield. Has made lots of friends and is eager to attend everyday. The teachers are kind, caring and knowledgeable. The range of food and activities the kids do are fantastic also.
