Q: What are your operating hours?

We've designed our hours specifically for commuting families, opening early enough for Sydney-bound professionals and staying open to accommodate return journeys via Windsor Road. We are open Monday to Friday, 7am until 6pm throughout the year. We are closed on public holidays. We offer the flexibility of drop off and pick up any time within our opening hours.

Our purpose-built facility features ducted climate control air conditioned rooms indoors, and extensive UV-rated shade structures over all outdoor play areas. We follow a strict heat policy, moving activities indoors during peak temperature periods to ensure child safety.

We strictly adhere to and often exceed the NSW National Quality Framework ratios. This ensures that every child, from our nursery to preschool, receives the individual attention and emotional support necessary for their development.

Q: Do you offer orientations for new families?

Absolutely. We provide unlimited "Stay and Play" orientation sessions to help children settle into their new environment and build relationships with our educators.

My daughter has attended the nursery room since January 2024. We have had nothing but a great experience at Flourish. My daughter is excited to go to day care and she shares a special bond with her educators. The educators all seem to love working there and there is consistency with the staff, no frequent staff turnovers like I've seen at other centres. Amanda and the team at Flourish are actively involved in the community - running events and fund-raisers on a regular basis - which makes us feel like we are really a part of a special community. I'm so glad we made the choice to send our daughter to this centre.

Flourish Early Learning Centre Oakville is an amazing place! With wonderful staff who have kind heart and caring mindset! Flourish is very clean & very welcoming. The lovely educators really make an effort to engage the kids and develop them in a very individualised way. Amanda (the manager) is really committed to providing a safe, fun, and loving environment and I am very thankful for that! I couldn’t ask for a better daycare. THANK YOU SO MUCH AMANDA & THE TEAM!

We have had our daughter in care here for three years. They have been so incredibly helpful through the hard times and provide such a loving family feel daycare. They have taught our teacher so much. Teacher retention is also very good. Blessed to have our little girl attend this daycare.

My daughter began her journey at Flourish Early Learning Centre this week, and I couldn't be more pleased with the exceptional care she has received! The educators in her classroom have been incredibly attentive and nurturing, consistently reaching out to update me on her progress and sharing daily charts. The environment is not only warm and welcoming, but it also fosters joy and happiness for my little one. As a first-time mom, this has truly eased my mind, knowing she is in such capable hands!
