The childcare subsidy calculator above also calculates the childcare fees you pay - weekly, quarterly and annually.

When calculating this figure, it considers the childcare rate for all of your children, as well as the average time they spend in childcare.

Be aware that this is an estimation. The actual figure will vary depending on the amount of childcare actually attended by your child.

“We recently switched to Choklits from a previous childcare provider and could not be happier with the service provided. The staff are so friendly, and caring, our kids get very excited about going each day. The sugar free menu prepared by the chef is fantastic, we are very, very happy with the move!”.
– Pieta.

“A great play area”
– Healthy Kids Acceleration.

“Mum loves the healthy food served and I love the huge backyard for the kids to run around. And the educators are great, we love Choklits!”.
– Ben.

“If Sue is educating and caring for your children, they are in the best hands, she possesses all the qualities required to teach, love and grow. Choklits is the best centre with Sue in the Director’s chair, her calm positivity to make everyone’s day the best is what makes it great”.
– David.

“Fantastic day care centre. Such a loving and nurturing bunch of educators led by an equally loving and nurturing Director! Can’t speak highly enough of this centre.”.
– Di.

“I was actually against our children going into formal education so early, but I was sold the minute I met the staff and saw the facilities at Choklits, especially the big backyard. My 2 children absolutely love being there and I can relax knowing they are learning and having fun. Not sure how the staff do it, but they actually enjoy eating the veggies and fruits they grow at the centre, I can’t get them to go near them at home!!”.
– Paul.

“My son has been with Choklits for about 6 months and I absolutely adore the educators at Choklits and the culture they have created as an early childhood Centre. So glad to have found Choklits”.
– Madz.

“A warm homely environment with supportive and professional staff”.
– Fanni.

“Choklits Child Care is an amazing Centre that caters for all families with care available from 7am till 6pm. With care from babies through to kinder kids all under the one roof. My kids are always raving about the huge outdoor play area and the adventures they have from the fort slides to the climbing frames and the race track. The educators are friendly, well trained and have a passion for what they do. With a brand new classroom and learning initiatives don’t go anywhere else without a tour of Choklits first you won’t be disappointed.”.
– Cynthia.

“We had all of our 3 children attend Choklits over a period of 10 years. Never had a reason to contemplate using another facility. Not once were we ever concerned about the kids after drop-off. Amazing people. Amazingly big play area. Great food. Great activities. The Kinder program readied our children for school. They were well rounded little people by the time they finished at Choklits. No hesitation in recommending this facility. The children loved their carers. They loved them back”.
– Paul.

“As first time parents putting our child in care was a huge decision. we looked at a number of Centres and could not go past Choklits. It’s simply a home away from home, the owner knows every child’s name and all the educators are warm and most importantly they know my child. I feel very comfortable leaving my baby at Choklits and know she is receiving the best education and care possible”.
– Lisa.

“When the search began for childcare for our 6 month old daughter 5 years ago we visited over 10 centres in our area. As soon as we walked into Choklits it truly felt like home! Jade, Sue and the wonderful educators at Choklits have given our little one the best start in life! The outdoor area is amazing with so many areas for the children to play and explore! Now 5 years old, our daughter is in her Kindy year. The Kinder program is brilliant. Thank you Wei and Christine for your amazing support and education! Nothing was ever too much trouble! She especially loved music, sport and weekly visits to the library! I highly recommend checking out Choklits Child Care for your little ones!!!”
– Cate.

“Our kids have wonderful memories of Choklits, it’s a home away from home! We looked at 2 other centres before choosing Choklits. It’s got such a homely vibe. The staff are amazing, Helen (the cook) creates the most amazing weekly menu for the kids, lots of variety and activity to keep the kids busy and their creative minds flowing. Our kids have been there from the Nursery, then the Toddler Room and also Kindergarten Room. The staff feel more like caring family members and always keep me posted on how my son is going and how my cheeky monkey has been entertained throughout the day. Thanks Choklits for everything!
– Liz

“Thanks for all you do for Charlee”
– Belinda.

“Choklits came highly recommended to us from another Choklits family after an unfortunate experience we had at another Child Care Centre. From the moment our son had his first day, it felt like we were part of a big family. We were always greeted with big smiles and always felt welcomed. Our son was there from 1-5 years old and he loved every minute with always great stories of the day to tell. The kinder program was fantastic and really prepared him for his first school year. When it was time for this era to finish it was bittersweet. Exciting times ahead for our son but we were sad to leave Choklits behind. We could not fault Choklits in anyway and would highly recommend Choklits Child Care to anyone requiring child care!”.
– Dayna and Chris.

“My daughter went to Choklits for eighteen months and I cannot rate them highly enough. Never once did we have tears at drop off!! The Centre has a brilliant play area and the food is excellent, but in my opinion their greatest strength is their educators, who are top notch. The relationships they developed with my child allowed us to think of Choklits as a home away from home. Excellent centre that I can’t rate highly enough”.
– Fiona.

“My daughter has been with Choklits since she was 6 months old and the educators have been fantastic. Ruby has learnt so much during the day time and I had no idea of the effort they put into their programs. They also have plenty to do and lots of room to play in the yard”.
– Bruce.

“From day one Jodi and the team in the nursery were absolutely beautiful! The communication was great and we loved getting updates and photos on StoryPark throughout the day. They were always flexible and a pleasure to talk to, were very attentive with our son and gave great feedback after each day. It always felt like a second home for our Son and we miss the team very much now that we’ve moved house!”
– Selena.

“We couldn’t be happier”.
– Kathrin.

“An excellent childcare centre with professional, nurturing educators. The environment is very homely and welcoming”.
– Amanda.

“We have been extremely happy with Choklits, and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a warm, friendly and genuinely caring environment for your kids. The communication is great, with regular updates on the kids daily activities including photos and posts about their development and interests”.
– Cheryl.

“Felt like a second home for my little man. I am going to miss everyone’s friendly faces every morning and afternoon”.
– Megan.

“We sent both our kids for nearly 2 years to Choklits.. they loved everything there – the friendly environment, the big backyard , the food , library visits , yoga , music and warm friendships they made there ! Loved the daily updates in story park ! We had to change centre since we moved and my kids still talk about Choklits ! Thanks to sue the director for helping out with everything and all the staff at Choklits for taking good care of Ishaan and Akshaj!”
– Ashwini.

“We think Choklits is fantastic! We moved our children from another centre down the road even though it was closer to our house, but an extra 2kms is irrelevant as couldn’t be happier. Everyone is friendly, the centre has a wonderful back yard and the development of our children in such a short period of time is amazing! Thank you Choklits”.
– Gareth.

“Very educational teachers and staff, my kid improved a lot during this year. Thanks for Wei, Christine and other teachers.”
– Linda.

“Great Childcare centre. Couldn’t beat the service we get here with my kids !”
– Brayden.

“Very friendly educators and office staff.”
– Nai.

“As first time parents putting our child in care was a huge decision. we looked at a number of centres and could not go past Choklits. It’s simply a home away from home, the owner knows every child’s name and all the educators are warm and most importantly they know my child.

– Lisa.

“Our 2-year-old son has been at Choklits for nearly a year. We have always felt at ease that we are leaving him in the best of care. The educators are warm and knowledgeable, the food is great and the activities they provide are exceptional!”
– Jacqui, Mitcham.

“The staff at Choklits are great, they are friendly, approachable and caring. The nurturing staff, separate baby sleeping room/indoor play areas and the outdoor area exclusively for the use of only those under 2-years-old gives their Nursery the reputation of being one of the best around. My son has been at Choklits for four years, he loves the large ‘big kid’ outdoor play area with real trees and the weekly excursions to the local library”.
– Fiona, Vermont.

“Both of our children enjoy the time they spend at Choklits. They love the staff and have made some beautiful friendships with the other children. Choklits offers our Children a wide variety of experiences from yoga and sports to chicken hatching and rock pool incursions. The high level of care the teachers have for our children gives us both peace of mind”.
– Jaimee, Ringwood.

My son attended Choklits when I was struggling to return back to work. He fits in very well, I personally think that’s because the staff are so friendly and they care for the kids as they would their own. The activities are fantastic as well!
– Ashlee, Vermont.

“Making the decision to put your child into child care is a difficult one, however, I felt very comfortable with all the staff from the start. It’s been the right decision for us, my toddler enjoys his time at Choklits, the huge play area and extracurricular activities!”
– Irene, Ringwood.

“Choklits is a great place for my son to be. He has learned singing and sports, there are so many activities to be involved in that he really enjoys.
– Sha, Ringwood.

“We have been part of the Choklits family for the past 9 years and have made some fabulous lifelong friendships. We have seen our 3 children flourish under the care of these amazing staff, many of whom started at the centre long before we enrolled with our children. We love the amazing outdoor play space, the interactive incursions and the overall nurturing environment we have experienced. The kinder program has been outstanding and has prepared our children to be the best they can be in preparation for their next learning adventures. We are so sad that this is our final year at Choklits as our baby embarks on her primary school years. Thank you to everyone who has played a part in shaping our children into the wonderful little human beings they are today”.
– Nicola, Mitcham.

My daughter started at Choklits at 6 months of age. The staff were wonderful in helping settle her (and myself) in over the first few weeks. It’s great knowing that my daughter loves going to Choklits not only to see her friends but because she loves all the staff there too.
– Mischann, Ringwood East.

“We feel Choklits is very special, when we first walked in for our first visit we immediately felt the warm and family welcoming atmosphere. Choklits knows my little girl very well and we couldn’t be happier having them taking care of my little one!”
– Candy, Ringwood.

“My 4-year-old daughter has been attending Choklits since she was 7 months old. She loves the big outdoor area and especially loves the music and sports programs! She adores the staff and has made so many new friends, we couldn’t be happier!!!”
– Cate, Mitcham.

“We recently moved to the area and was nervous to send our son back to childcare, however, the staff were so warm and inviting towards myself and my son that he quickly relaxed and settled in very well. There is great communication at the end of each day and the staff know my son very well. He loves the big yard and the extra activities included in the program every week such as the sports and music programs plus the one-off activities such as the hatching chickens and animal incursions that occur regularly. I will be enrolling my other child very soon and feel comfortable leaving them both at the centre”.
– Lauren, Ringwood.

“We started at Choklits with our eldest son 5 years ago. I love the setting as it welcoming and homely, with room to move for our kids. The Kinder group is a lovely size, each child can get involved and they are not lost in a large group. My oldest is now in prep and still loves coming with me to pick up at Choklits to say hi to the staff which I think speaks volumes of the rapport he built with the carers”.
– Sarah, Croydon South.

“I enrolled my daughter at Choklits when she was 16 months old, she is starting school next year and has enjoyed her time there. My second has been at Choklits for 10 months in the Nursery and I’m more than happy with the service, I recommend Choklits to everyone!”
– Nina, Ringwood.

“Choklits has been a home away from home for our son for the past two years. He absolutely loves the staff, other children and the outdoor play area. We recommend the centre to all of our friends in the area”.
– Mel, Heathmont.

“Our two kids attend Choklits as it’s a convenient location to drop off/pick up on my way to/from work, one is in the Nursey and the other is in the Toddler room. The Nursey is very convenient and is located away from the bigger kids and noisier Toddler room. My son enjoys the outside play area and the outdoor dining area which is like a cafe!”
– Ashwini, Ringwood.

“When we moved to Ringwood East we searched for the right place to leave our little boy. I was instantly comfortable with the staff and the yard was amazing at Choklits, perfect for my active boy. I didn’t hesitate to enrol my baby girl when I returned and she was six months old as the Nursery staff were fantastic. I recommend Choklits, especially to those families who are nervous about leaving their precious ones for the first time”.
– Kitty, Ringwood East

“My oldest daughter has been at Choklits for 2.5 years and loves it! They have an amazing outdoor play area and always have extra programs and incursions going on which Lily always adores. The staff are great, always make drop off and pick up easy and keep up the communication. The menu is faboulous, I only wish Lily would eat the same food when I make it at home! My youngest daughter will be starting there soon too, I have no concerns about leaving her at Choklits”.
– Jess, Ringwood

“My daughter started at Choklits after a recommendation from a neighbour and we couldn’t be happier. The centre feels warm, inviting and homely, and you immediately get the sense that the facility is well organised, safe, clean and that the educators are really passionate about what they do.”
– Carly, Ringwood
