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.

Provider Reviews

“You guys are just amazing. Andrew Riley, you and your wife are honestly the most amazing owners this team could ever have. You guys are kind, caring and you do the best job to make sure the family’s and children and educators are happy . My family can’t recommend Parkside enough.”

Pauline, Mother of Akara (4) and Piper (3)

“My experience with Parkside early learning centre has been utterly fantastic, my kids have flourished so much since being here, they have learnt so much and grown so much while they have been at Parkside. I honestly can not speak highly enough, the staff are incredibly amazing and supportive and try so hard to help each and every child. They let kids be kids and help them learn along the way, what more could I ask for, for my kids. Such helpful people that are always more than happy to help however they can. I consider myself honestly do lucky to have the Parkside family in my kids and my life.”

Thank you Parkside.

Cassie, Mother of Riley (5) and Violet (3)

“I can’t sing the praises of this centre loud enough. After my son was having a rough time at a different centre we moved to Parkside in August last year. My son is no angel and I’m the first to admit that, but they are working wonders with him. If there is an issue with his behaviour or if he tells me he is having issues with anything the team address it quickly and professionally and we work TOGETHER to help resolve any issues. I have tried to teach him to write and spell his name and he just isn’t interested in sitting still and listening to me. Imagine my surpise and how much my heart swelled with pride when out of no where he wrote his name on a piece of paper. It was legible and I instantly knew exactly what it was. I nearly burst out in tears in the middle of a restaurant! He can write and spell his name now with ease. He only just turned 4!

The staff know that he’s a kid that would rather be climbing trees and kicking a soccer ball instead of sitting and reading and writing and they work with him to give him the best of both worlds. He recently came home and showed me his breathing/meditation exercises and I’m blown away at how he can control himself to not only do them but to gently lead me through them as well.

He thinks that Mr Andrew is the best thing since sliced bread and gets excited when he sees his car is there and starts squealing before we are even in the parking lot. 6 months ago I had a boy that cried at the mere mention of going to daycare and now he gets upset when its not a daycare day. I’m excited to work with them over the next 12 months as my son takes part in their preparing for school program!

And I haven’t even begun to tell you about my 2 year old daughter who HAD separation anxiety but now waves good bye to me as she plays happily with her little friends and teachers. Oh! Did I mention she can speak full sentences and is nearly fully toilet trained?

The real question is… why aren’t your kids going here yet? Ring up and make an appointment for a viewing today! And tell them I sent ya

Charmaine, Mother of Will (4) and Emma (2)

“Parkside is wonderfully inclusive and respectful! A community of devoted carers whose number one focus is your child’s wellbeing, happiness and development which extends out into genuinely caring for your whole family. Children, parents and family members from all walks of life are treated with respect and kindness, with individual needs attended to in a supportive and helpful way. The staff are friendly and approachable, no matter how big or small your issue, they will make time to chat with you and put your mind at ease. From clingy toddlers, to toilet training, preparing for school readiness, or a baby’s first day, the team at Parkside have the experience and devotion to handle it all. Our children are greeted like family when they arrive, and are always brimming over with stories of their day’s adventures when they leave. Healthy and delicious meals and snacks are provided, which gives me peace of mind knowing that my children are eating well while they are out of my care, as well as being exposed to a variety of new food choices. And that’s before I move on to the array of stimulating, interesting and exciting experiences they are exposed to on a daily basis. I cannot recommend Parkside highly enough.”

Laura, mother of Mia (11m), James (2), Daisy (3) , Lilly (5), Charli (7), Indiana (8)

“It has been lovely seeing everyone’s smiling faces at Parkside Early Learning Centre. We have all been made to feel very welcome and have confidence in the care your staff provides to our boys. My 2 boys have been quite vocal about how much they like your facility. The fact that my 4 year old had a sleep there is very impressive. Therese and Mel have been wonderful.

Keep up the good work Parkside! It is very much appreciated.”

Danielle, Mother of 2 boys (4 & 7 years old)

“My favourite thing about Parkside would have to be how friendly, loving and caring all staff members are not only to Savannah but to me and my family as well, always feel welcome I couldn’t send my daughter somewhere if her educators made me uncomfortable and uneasy. I was a very hesitant mum when it came to sending her to daycare if it wasn’t for the friendly, kind hearted nature of the staff I don’t think I would have sent her. But she needed it as much as I did and she has strived…so thank you to all the staff members at Parkside 
I also love that when I have had an issue Carolin and Andrew do their very best to fix it and go above and beyond to resolve the issue. Definite plus for the daycare!  thank you guys!”

Sasha, mother of Savanah (4)

-------------------------------------------------------

“There are numerous things to love about Parkside. First I love that meals are provided by the Centre, when getting 4 children ready for the day having to not worry about even one child’s lunch is very helpful. Secondly the staff is wonderful. They are very friendly and helpful, always balancing different learning abilities and personalities of the children. Thirdly, the time that is put in from the staff, from getting to know the children to working bees and additional training. I could go on with more but I think people should find out how wonderful the centre is themselves.”

Bridgette, mother of Talloulah (3) and Cheyenne (6)

------------------------------------------------------

I am a full time working mum with 2 children who attend the after school and vacation care programs at Parkside. The staff are not only friendly and caring, they are also all professional and highly motivated to provide the highest care and learning environment for my children.

My children LOVE being there – it is only ever a struggle to get my children to leave when I come and pick them up!! I am constantly being told by my kids “why are you picking us up so early mum…can’t we stay just a bit longer”

The obvious other major draw cards are the courtesy bus, the nutritious meals provided (where they have managed to get my son to eat amazing food he won’t eat for me!!), the convenience of the centre with the beautiful park side surrounds which the Centre takes full advantage of and the amazing improvements and upgrades the new owners have made.

Thank you, thank you, thank you to Andrew, Caroline and all of the staff at Parkside – without you guys in our life we would really struggle!!”

Toni, Mother of Saylor and Corbin
