Barefoot Early Childhood

Sending our first child off to daycare was a scary step to take but the amazing Barefoot family have made it a smooth transition for him and us! We chose Barefoot for its connection to nature and outdoors which is really important to us. We have been so happy with the amazing teachers and educators at Barefoot and all the wonderful activities they do with the kids!
Can not recommend this amazing centre enough!

Barefoot have made the transition from home to childcare so smooth for both my children. My boys are always so excited to go to care & I really feel like they get the love & affection they need from their Educators. My eldest son was having an emotional time at his last kindy & was crying every drop off, he hasn't cried since moving him to Barefoot & is always keen to go to kindy & has lots of fun stories to tell us about his day. The staff are always so friendly, approachable & professional.

Barefoot Early Childhood is truly one of a kind! From the moment I walked through the doors I knew I had found the right place for us.
The staff are friendly and welcoming, treating every child with respect and compassion - an extension of their own families. The atmosphere is peaceful, warm and inviting making you feel comfortable and at home from the moment you enter .. and the environment, what can I say!
Not many childcare centres are fortunate enough to offer the space and activities that Barefoot does. A natural environment far removed from the clinical feel of most other centres .. where else are children able to play with chickens, learn to ride a pony, grow their own veggies, practice yoga, splash in the mud, explore the creek and reconnect with the simple joys of childhood.
The only downside is they don't cater for adults, or I'd enrol myself!
When my son wakes up excited for daycare and comes home with a massive smile on his face each day, I know I have found somewhere truly special.

Barefoot Early Childhood offers our children home away from home . A safe haven to discover themselves and their environment. Mud kitchens, cubby houses, yoga, bush craft are just a few things that are offered. Our children always come home with happy hearts. Highly recommend this childhood centre.

When looking to send our second child to kindergarten before he went off to prep I felt sick, we didn’t want to send him to one of the mainstream Centres, we wanted to send him somewhere where he was still able to be a child and be nurtured when he needed it. We wanted a home away from home, then we came across Nicole and her amazing Barefoot Team, as soon as we walked into Barefoot we knew this was the place for us and our Son. Nicole made us feel right at home and put all of our concerns at ease. My Sons teachers are amazing and it makes me sad that we only have this one year with them! I wish we had of come across Barefoot earlier. If you are wanting something special for your child/children this is most definitely the place. We honestly can not speak any higher of Nicole and her beautiful team. We are so blessed to have found them.

Absolutely wonderful place for children of all ages to spend their day. As a previous worker in a child care centre & now a mum myself I can honestly give the highest recommendation of Barefoot Early Childhood centre. What wonderful memories our lucky children will have being lil Barefooters.

Barefoot is our son's home away from home, it's beautiful, warm, inspiring and down to earth. Love the fact that he goes to kindy in bare feet and learns through exploring and creativity

We moved to Dayboro in December and Barefoot’s was one of the main reasons, amazing place with wonderful caring staff and my daughter absolutely loves it!

Perfect start into society and learning for my child.... Very loving and caring my son is absolutely thriving there I can't speak highly enough 😀
