Age Groups
Nursery
6 weeks - 12 months
In our nursery classroom, we strive to support children in their learning environments to meet their milestones while building meaningful relationships with their educators and peers. Our nursery room follows individual routines and allows all children to eat nutritious meals, rest, and engage in meaningful relationships throughout the day.
Toddlers
1 - 2 years
In our toddlers' room, our educators provide a safe and stimulating environment for exploring and playing. We support learning by engaging the children in sensory activities, encouraging social interactions, and fostering language with songs and stories.
Pre-Kinder
2 - 3 years
Our pre-kindergarten room focuses on educating children and building connections with each other to form positive and meaningful friendships. We assist each child in learning how to self-regulate to discover their needs and emotions. Forming these positive interactions helps prepare the children for their kindergarten years.
Junior Kinder
3 - 4 years
Our junior kinder room supports children in hands-on learning experiences and starts the foundation of learning to equip each child to become kindergarten-ready. Providing hands-on activities, encouraging independent exploration, and promoting social skills through group play enhances children's interests and learning and assists in providing the skills the children need to begin the school readiness program.
Kinder
4 - 5 years
Our kinder classroom is set up for school-age children to reach their full potential using high-quality resources whilst following a curriculum based on the children's voices and interests. We strongly believe implementing an effective school readiness educational program assists our children in a smooth, successful transition into school whilst having the tools they require to be confident and involved learners.

Frequently Asked Questions
We supply most of the essentials your child will need throughout the day. Please pack and label a set of spare clothes, a water bottle, any comfort items or dummies, and, if applicable, a sleeping bag, milk bottles, formula, or breast milk.
We provide orientation sessions for a short playtime before your child’s first day. Scheduled close to your child’s start date, these sessions offer you, your child, and our educators a chance to connect, ask questions, and discuss any essential details. Once enrolment is confirmed, you’ll be invited to these complimentary two-hour sessions. Talking about the upcoming experience at home can also build excitement and help your child look forward to the fun activities they’ll soon be part of.
Keep a positive attitude! Make drop-off a pleasant experience by taking a few minutes to help your child feel settled. While mornings are busy, finding an activity they enjoy and giving a warm goodbye can help set the tone for a smoother day. A friendly, caring educator will always be on hand to offer support, and you’re welcome to call the centre anytime after leaving to check in for an update.
The educator-to-child ratio varies. For children 0 to 24 months, the ratio is 1:4 in all states and territories, 1:4 in VIC for children 24 to 36 months, and 1:11 for children 36 months and over. You can find out more about it on the ACECQA website.
Selecting the right centre is key to feeling assured and at ease, knowing your child is safe, happy, and nurtured during the day. Look for a centre that offers a positive learning environment where dedicated educators provide guidance and model behaviours that encourage independence, confidence, and essential life skills. It’s also wise to consider practical factors that suit your family’s needs, like location, fees, and included services.

Eligibility for the Child Care Subsidy (CCS) in Victoria depends on various factors, such as family income, the child’s age, the type of childcare service chosen, and the level of parental activity, including work, study, or volunteering. Australian citizens and permanent residents can apply, although certain conditions may differ based on individual circumstances.
The CCS covers 100 hours per fortnight, depending on the combined hours of recognised activities (like work or study) by parents or guardians. The subsidy hours increase with more activity hours.
Reviews
Mayfield Seaford is a great modern long daycare centre, friendly staff, clean facilities, great meal choices caters to many requirements, my daughter has enjoyed her time here and there has been no issues. She will miss all her friends and the wonderful educators as she starts school.

Very friendly staff who make you feel at ease leaving your kids here. They engage the kids with meaningful activities and update you daily with what your child has done that particular day. What I love the most is, no matter who is on the early shift, all the staff are aware of your child and what he/she likes or doesn’t like, it makes early drop offs very easy when all staff are aware and familiar with your child’s needs. Keep up the great work :)

My 18mo daughter has been as Mayfield for 4 weeks now and absolutely adores her educators, big hugs for them when she arrives and lots of smiles, the place spaces are clean and lots to do! I’ve found communication very easy and emails are responded to promptly. Out of three kids, this is my first child in care and I’ve found it such an easy transition.
