Delivering quality childcare to families in Northfield and surrounding areas

Stepping Stone Northfield Childcare & Development Centre will provide a happy, safe and nurturing environment where children can develop confidence and independence at their own pace. Take a sneak peek inside our centre below...

About the centre

We’re committed to providing your child with the highest quality of care possible with our team of experienced and qualified educators providing you an educational program that incorporates ‘Being, Belonging, Becoming’, which is based around The Early Years Learning Framework. This supports each child in a stimulating, fun and educational way, while recognising and providing for each child’s individual learning and developmental requirements.

Healthy food is provided daily for your child to enjoy. Our meals are all provided and cooked fresh, ensuring all nutritional requirements are met. Our rotating menu encourages discovery of various tastes and textures.

Our centre has dual access which allows us to build a relationship and work in partnership with the local school and kindergarten.

We have a combined split level outdoor environment in which a slide and sandpit have been included for children to explore with an indoor environment that is warm and inviting. The children and educators enjoy displaying artwork and masterpieces for everyone to admire and enjoy.

We pride ourselves on providing high quality care and an opportunity for your child to learn in a place that makes your child feel safe and secure.

Hear from families who have attended our Northfield childcare centre...

Our children have been attending the Northfield centre for a number of years. We have been provided with a lovely, caring and welcoming environment. The director and staff has always ensured our children’s needs are accommodated with support and care. It has always been an approachable environment in which we feel comfortable discussing our children’s needs. Highly recommend this centre.

Sarah Grasby

Northfield Centre

As a migrant, childcare was the only option. Like any child does, they’re both crying their lungs out on their first day. However the carers were so comforting, and confidently explained to me that kids will normally be fine in a week or so. I honestly didn’t believe them, however after a week, lo and behold they’re happy. Sheryl and the staff knows magic. They have a wide variety of activities so my kids don’t get bored. I also have to add, it’s one of the few places where my kids ate veggies at a very young age. This alone I’ll give them 6 stars, if I can.
