About Only About Children Southbank
Welcome to Only About Children Southbank!
Only About Children Southbank is a warm and inviting child care centre that is proud to be rated ‘exceeding’ by the National Quality Standard. Children are cared for by qualified and passionate educators, in a safe and home-like environment that facilitates play-based learning that is both structured and unstructured. Children from six weeks to school aged are cared for from 7.15 am to 6.15 pm with all meals and snacks provided.
In the large outdoor play spaces, the children are free to dig in the sandpit, ride on the bike track or water the plants in the vegetable garden. Inside, the light-filled spaces use natural materials to encourage play and interaction with friends.

The staffs are super friendly and helpful. I learn a lot from them as a student. All the children are well taken care of and get the chance to explore different activities. My mentors in the room taught me skills about how to get along with children and how to best support their development. We had good discussions about it helping me shape my vision of the career. Gratitude to everyone I met here and truly wish them the best.

Our daughter has been at OAC Southbank for over three years, and the care has been consistently outstanding. The meals are healthy and we get daily updates, which gives us peace of mind. The environment is warm and welcoming — she’s gone from having no friends (born during COVID) to building strong friendships, and the confidence to speak with others. Tina and everyone at the centre are incredibly supportive and genuinely care about the children and families. Security is solid with pass and code access, and rooms are well set up by age group. We really appreciate the regular updates and photos — they help us feel connected to her day. OAC Southbank has been a wonderful place for our daughter to grow.
