Growing, learning and belonging

Nourished each day

Mealtimes bring children together to enjoy nutritious food, build independence and feel part of our community.​

Warm relationships, familiar routines and sensory play help our youngest children feel secure as they explore and grow.

Outdoor adventures and play nurture curiosity, confidence and a connection to the natural world.

Learning beyond the classroom

Through bush kindy and everyday outdoor play, children have time to investigate, imagine and discover. Natural spaces invite questions, shared adventures and opportunities to build confidence, solve problems and care for the world around them.

Our Philosophy

Every child has a voice

We see children as capable, curious learners with their own ideas and experiences. We listen, follow their interests and support them to explore, make choices and grow in confidence.

A place to belong

Warm relationships with families help every child feel known, valued and included. We celebrate individuality and build connections with our community, Country and the Bundjalung people.

Growing with nature

Through play and discovery, children connect with the natural world and learn to care for it. We nurture their wellbeing, sense of wonder and foundations for a lifelong love of learning.

Reviews

  • "Highly recommend. Our boy has been going here for the last 4 years. The teachers are amazing. Lovely facility too. Modern and always so clean with new games and fun stuff for the kids set up everyday. The food is super healthy too; each morning fresh fruit is being served up as you drop your child there for the day. It's a wonderful daycare. Couldn't recommend it enough. 10/10."

  • “My boys have been going to Natural Elements since 2019. They both made the best friends and the most amazing connections with the educators. The food served for my boys was top shelf, they always came back super full!!! Never had any issues, we will miss this place very much. Thank you for caring for my children.”

  • “We love Natural Elements- we have found the centre very welcoming. The educators are full of energy and ideas and love. We feel part of the family! I love the vegetable garden, bush kindy excursions, incursion Eg Play Ball with Mr Russell. The arrangement with the next door pool for swimming lessons is really an amazing opportunity. Our children learn a lot at Natural Elements.”
