About Old MacDonald's Child Care

Welcome to Old MacDonald's Child Care!

Old MacDonald's Child Care (OMCC) established since 2016, is a purpose-built private childcare service located in Orchard Hills (boarding Erskine Park). Our childcare service caters to children aged 6 weeks to 6 years. We operate 7.00am to 6.00pm Monday- Friday, 50 weeks per year.

OMCC is a rural service in suburbia on 8.5 acres with a wide variety of farm animals (cow, sheep, alpaca, pig, goats, rabbits, guinea pigs, chickens, ducks, turkeys and a pony). The children explore the open farm spaces by going on tractor/ trailer rides or by walking throughout the property to engage with the animals. The outdoor designed play spaces incorporate sustainability for the children to explore for hours.

OMCC has an abundance of outdoor play areas, complete with 2 separate age-appropriate natural play spaces. The outdoor environments have been designed to incorporate our natural rural surroundings and encourage all children to explore their senses while engaging in the environment.

Reviews for Old MacDonald's Child Care

Salvation Agent21 days ago

In summary, great centre (physical building) ok-ish service. The childcare has had some big changes and there only couple staff left who genuinely care and prepare for your child’s day. The industry is short of staff, casuals coming in all the time for periods then there’s stability then they go back to day one again. The owner is a good bloke like other have said, directors are doing their best dealing with parents (me included) and the current and previous chefs are legends. There is one particular staff member who enjoys spending little to no time with the children, has been reported multiple times to the directors but nothing changes. Now I understand there is a ‘conflict of interest’ due to the fact their family is in charge of the centre, that’s disappointing as their behaviour continues to tarnish the centres image. Otherwise, I am continuing to recommend the centre to you as a reader but only if you are ok with basic play and learning activities. The 4-5 ages have the best fun with the couple legends who work in those rooms hence the 3/5. This place has potential and things are getting better since Covid but there’s a longggggg way to go compared to other centres in the council.
