Enrolment

It’s never too early to start looking for childcare. Many families begin their search for a childcare centre as early as during pregnancy or shortly after birth. Starting early gives you the best chance to secure a place at your preferred centre, especially if you’re considering a popular option like The Fern Early Learning Centres.

Enrolling your child at a childcare centre like The Fern Early Learning Centres is simple. First, get in touch with your preferred location to book a tour. After your visit, you can complete an enrolment form and provide the required documentation. Our friendly team will guide you every step of the way to make the process smooth and stress-free.

Due to high demand, some of our The Fern Early Learning Centres may have a waitlist. We recommend joining the waitlist as early as possible to increase your chances of securing a spot. Our team can provide up-to-date information on availability and help you with next steps.

At The Fern Early Learning Centres, we welcome children from 6 weeks to school age. Our programs are tailored to support each stage of your child’s early development, offering nurturing care and inspiring learning experiences from infancy to kindergarten.

Yes! Most families in Australia are eligible for the Child Care Subsidy (CCS), which can help reduce your out-of-pocket childcare costs. The Fern Early Learning Centre accepts CCS, and we’re happy to assist you with understanding how it works and how to apply.

A childcare orientation is a valuable time for you and your child to become familiar with the centre, educators, and daily routines before starting. At The Fern, our orientation sessions help children feel safe and confident, making the transition into care smoother and more comfortable for everyone.

The Fern Early Learning Centres stand out with its strong connection to nature, child-led curriculum, and warm, welcoming environments.

Plus, our centres are designed to feel like a second home.

Finding the best childcare centre starts with identifying what matters most to your family — whether it’s nurturing educators, engaging programs, or a strong sense of community. We encourage families to visit The Fern Early Learning Centres to see our approach in action and discover how we support each child’s growth, learning and wellbeing.
