⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ CSIRO Care Clayton has been amazing for our family. The educators are warm, caring, and truly dedicated to each child’s wellbeing and development. We’ve seen such positive growth in our children— more confidence, better social skills, and genuine excitement to go every day! Communication is fantastic too. We always feel informed about daily activities, learning milestones, and anything we can support from home. It’s reassuring to know our children are in such a safe, nurturing, and fun environment. We couldn’t be happier with the care and attention our children receive. Thank you to the wonderful team at CSIRO Care Clayton for everything you do!

CSIROCare Clayton is a rare centre that has so many experienced educators who have been at the centre for over 10 years (some over 30 years). We have been so lucky to have found CSIROCare Clayton, where our children have felt safe, happy and cared for by the fantastic staff. We have found the centre to have a balanced approach to education and socilalistation for the children. A big plus with the centre is the incursions to Monash University and CSIRO, which are both within walking distance for children and a wonderful educational resource.

CSIRO is a well established NFP childcare centre with some of the best staff retention I've ever seen! I moved my two sons from a for-profit shiny new centre to CSIRO two months ago. Since we moved, my kids don't come home with unexplained injuries, they don't cry at drop off, they are happy and look forward to attending. I don't need to call in to check on them, and I never have to worry. I honestly couldn't be happier with the level of care at CSIRO - my kids are happy, safe, and developing new skills every week. Thank you to all the staff for their unwavering and nurturing support. Highly recommend!

About CSIROcare Clayton

Our programs for children evolve from a play based learning approach. Through play, children can learn to make sense of the world around them. Through play children can develop social and cognitive skills, mature emotionally, and gain the self-confidence required to engage in new experiences and environments. Play provides a strong foundation for intellectual growth, creativity, problem-solving and basic academic knowledge. We are committed to implementing inclusive programs that meet the needs and abilities of all children and are reflective of their interests. Weekly music & sport programs are included as a further extension to the program. Other special events are also arranged throughout the year.

We strive to build and maintain positive relationships with parents and families and work to enable families to feel a sense of community and belonging. Families are welcome to come in at any time and participate in the program. We value traditional parent involvement activities such as working bees and social events which are ways of building and extending partnerships. In addition, we have many different kinds of social events at different times such as morning/afternoon teas, a Christmas party, celebrations of cultural and religious events, excursions and incursions.

Having authentic partnerships with families is a crucial part of what we do every day.

Our team of more than 20 staff are dedicated to providing high quality care to the children and families within our centre. We have a combination of permanent educators allocated to each room, room support educators and casual relief educators. We also have a qualified cook who prepares all meals on site. 

Our centre is managed by a volunteer committee of management which consists of interested parent representatives.
