A welcoming and nurturing environment where little ones begin their early learning journey

At Bright Days Herston, we know how precious the early years are. When your baby joins our nursery, they’re not just starting childcare — they’re entering a gentle, loving space designed to feel like a second home.

Our team understands that handing over the care of your baby is a big decision. That’s why we focus on building strong, trusting relationships with both you and your child, so you always feel confident they’re in the very best hands.

One-on-one attention, every day

From around 18 months, your baby is growing, exploring and absorbing more than ever before. These are the months filled with first words, first friendships, and the beginnings of independence. We’re here to gently guide them through it all, with open arms, soft spaces, and familiar faces.

Our caring and qualified educators know how important it is for babies to feel safe, supported, and loved as they explore the world around them. That’s why we keep our baby groups small, giving each child lots of one-on-one attention and gentle, responsive care.

Start your child's education the right way with Bright Days

A calm, nurturing environment

Thoughtfully designed spaces that encourage quiet moments, close care and meaningful one-on-one interactions—supporting your child’s development every step of the way.

Flexible routines

Individual sleep and feeding times with gentle transitions that follow each baby’s natural rhythm, respecting their individual needs.

Responsive, strong relationships

Our consistent nursery educators place a strong focus on building caring bonds with each child—helping them feel safe, secure and supported through all stages of development.

Our Early Learning Centre Facilities

Our purpose-built, three-level centre is designed to support every child’s growth, comfort, and sense of belonging from their very first day.

14 learning hubs

Our centre caters to every stage of development. Babies and children enrolled begin in a calm, stimulating space and grow into familiar learning hubs at their own pace, building confidence as they move toward school readiness.

Safe, accessible indoor and outdoor spaces

Each nursery room opens to peaceful, sensory-rich spaces. Even if babies aren’t yet exploring them, they take in the sights and sounds, growing more at ease as they prepare to join our pre-kindergarten program.

A welcoming parent lounge

A comfortable space where families can pause, chat with educators and feel connected to the daily life of our early learning centre. It’s a place to relax, ask questions and be part of your child’s early childhood education journey.

An on-site chef’s kitchen

While babies may still be on bottles or beginning solids, our on-site chef is ready when they are. As they grow, they’re gradually introduced to soft, healthy foods made fresh each day—helping them become familiar with mealtimes and new flavours in a calm, supportive environment.

childcare and education from babies to kindy

As your child grows, our early education centre grows with them. After nursery, children move into age-appropriate learning spaces designed to support their developing skills, independence and curiosity.

Pre-kindergarten (2-3 years)

A gentle introduction to group learning with plenty of play-based activities designed to promote resilience, social skills and self-confidence, all guided by the principles of the Early Years Learning Framework.

Kindergarten (3-4 years)

Children participate in a structured, government-approved kindergarten program teaching language skills, numeracy, and critical thinking.

Kindergarten (4 years)

A program offering an extra year of early education, giving children additional time to develop key skills and feel confident as they transition to school-age learning.

At every stage, our dedicated educators guide and support your child’s learning journey, helping them feel comfortable, confident and excited about what’s ahead.
