About Only About Children Chatswood Railway St

Welcome to Only About Children Chatswood Railway Street!

At Only About Children Chatswood Railway Street, we believe that our holistic approach to childcare gives every child the best opportunity to reach their full potential. Our quality early learning programs are innovative, with a focus on health, wellbeing and education. 

Our purpose-built Campus is located at Level 2 North Tower 1-5 Railway St, in the heart of Chatswood. With plenty of underground parking, families can enjoy an efficient drop off and pick up every visit. We are conveniently located near public transport with bus stops only a two-minute walk and Chatswood Train Station a five-minute walk away. Westfield Chatswood is a five-minute walk away from our Chatswood Railway St childcare centre. 

With a huge dedicated outdoor play area, including separate play spaces for all age groups, children have plenty of space for exploration, creativity and self-lead play. We have a large indoor space, covered with soft fall for children to enjoy covered play during wet weather. Our five age-based indoor spaces are filled with natural elements and specifically designed to encourage children’s growth and learning in a safe environment. We enjoy connecting with our local community through planned excursions and community activities that build on the children’s curriculum and interests. At our Chatswood Railway St childcare centre these include regular trips to the local library, the local park, the post office and the train station. 

As part of their enrolment at Only About Children childcare Chatswood, children have access to our Health Program, with specialist screening and support in Occupational Therapy, Speech Pathology, Vision and Nutrition. Our dietitian-designed seasonal menus are prepared daily by our Cooks, from breakfast through to evening snack so your child is well-nourished throughout their day, every day. 

At our Chatswood childcare centre we believe that our qualified Educators are our greatest strength. They are passionate about creating an early learning environment where your child can feel happy, nurtured, stimulated and safe. We support the development of growing minds, in nursery and preschool aged children, through our educational curriculum – Oac Grow. Our programs focus on exploration, technology, literacy and numeracy, sustainability and creative expression. All of our teachings are offered in an inclusive, fun environment. 

Our innovative play-based curriculum allows Only About Children to stand out from the crowd with intentional teaching in small group learning environments where we track children’s successes, skills and challenges regularly.

    We recently raised several concerns with management about ongoing issues at the centre, including high staff turnover, lack of consistency for children, potential breaches in staff to child ratios and communication that we found unprofessional at times. I was particularly troubled by reducing our baby's naps from 2 to 1 in the beginning against her developmental needs which appeared to be driven by staffing convenience rather than the best interest of the child. We received a follow up call from the Head Office which unfortunately felt more like a procedural formality than a sincere attempt to understand or resolve the concerns. Overall, we remain very concerned about the center's culture, leadership and how parent feedback is handled. I would encourage other families to be observant, ask questions, be vigilant and trust their instincts. WE DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE FOR YOUR KIDS

    We’ve had serious concerns about the standard of care at this centre. Over the past 2–3 months, there has been high educator turnover, leading to instability and a lack of continuity for the children. Many caring staff have left, which appears to reflect deeper management issues. We’ve observed rough handling during drop-off, dismissive communication with parents, and staff being spoken to unprofessionally in front of others. Our child still refuses to walk in when certain staff are present, even after more than a year. There have been multiple occasions where children were watching TV at pick-up time, and at times, the room appeared under ratio. We were also alarmed when our 11-month-old’s naps were reduced from two to one—clearly not age-appropriate and likely due to cost-cutting. Our baby has feeding challenges and requires patience, yet we often pick her up tired, cranky, and clearly hungry—suggesting her needs are not being met consistently during the day. These are not isolated incidents, but part of an ongoing pattern that has led us to question the quality of care and leadership at the centre. We would not recommend this service to other families.
