Kids Club Malabar

All meals at Kids Club Childcare centres are freshly prepared on-site using high-quality ingredients with recipes designed by our renowned, in-house chefs on a 4-week rotational menu. Meals are tasty, nutritious and freshly-prepared by our qualified chefs in order to meet the daily dietary requirements of all attending children.

Weekly menus are displayed outside the kitchen. We welcome your input for different recipes or cultural meals. As much as possible, we attempt to cater to individual likes and dislikes, whilst incorporating multicultural tastes and diets.

Kids Club Early Childhood Centres has been recognised for its commitment to quality early education and care across a number of areas.

Several Kids Club centres have achieved an Exceeding National Quality Standard (NQS) rating through the Australian Children’s Education & Care Quality Authority (ACECQA) assessment and rating process. This recognition reflects the quality of education, care, relationships, environments, leadership and practices delivered within these services.

Kids Club has also received recognition through industry and business awards over the years, including the Local Business Awards for Outstanding Early Childhood Centre, the NSW Business Chamber Startup Superstar Award and recognition for the design and construction of our purpose-built early learning environments.

While we are proud of the recognition our centres and teams have received, what matters most is the quality of care, learning and experiences children and families encounter every day.

At Kids Club, children are active participants in their own learning. Our Educators observe each child’s interests, ideas, strengths and emerging skills, using these insights to create meaningful experiences that encourage curiosity, exploration and discovery.

Learning may begin with a question a child asks, something they notice in their environment, an interest shared from home or an idea that develops through play. Educators then extend these moments through thoughtful environments, resources, conversations and intentional teaching.

Our programs are guided by the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and are designed to support each child’s development while recognising that every child learns, grows and explores in their own way.

By working in partnership with families and responding to children’s interests and experiences at home, within the centre and in their wider community, learning becomes meaningful, connected and relevant to each child.

The Child Care Subsidy (CCS) is an Australian Government subsidy that helps eligible families with the cost of approved child care.

The amount of CCS your family may receive depends on your individual circumstances, including your family income, the type of care your child attends and the applicable CCS hourly rate cap.

From 5 January 2026, eligible families can access at least 72 hours of subsidised child care per fortnight (3 days per week) under the Australian Government’s 3 Day Guarantee, with some families eligible for 100 hours per fortnight depending on their circumstances.

Our Kids Club Child Care Subsidy Calculator can help you estimate your potential out-of-pocket child care fees after CCS is applied at your nominated Kids Club Early Childhood Centre.

For information about claiming CCS, eligibility, updating your family details or finding your Customer Reference Number (CRN), visit Services Australia.

Please note that our calculator provides an estimate only. Your actual CCS entitlement is determined by Services Australia and may vary depending on your individual circumstances.

Starting child care is a big milestone for both children and families, and every child will approach this transition differently. Our team works closely with families to help children feel safe, secure and supported as they become familiar with their new environment, Educators and daily routines.

Before your child’s first day, families are invited to attend orientation visits at the centre. These visits provide an opportunity for you and your child to spend time in their room, meet their Educators, explore the environment and begin becoming familiar with the rhythms of the day.

Sharing information about your child’s routines, interests, comfort items, preferences and individual needs also helps our Educators get to know them and provide consistent, responsive care from the very beginning.

There are also simple things you can do at home to help prepare for this exciting next step.
