The Scallywags Experience

Here to support children and their families.
Our Educators are not only friendly and approachable, but they are also highly trained, well qualified, professional, experienced, and full of energy!
Every day, our dedicated team works together to create the best possible environment for the children in our care, always putting the needs of others before their own.

All Staff Paediatric First Aid Trained.
At Scallywags, the safety and well being of the children in our care is our top priority. That's why all of our staff are fully Paediatric First Aid trained, ensuring we are equipped to respond to any situation with confidence and care.
In addition, we offer free Parent and Carer First Aid training throughout the year, helping families feel prepared and confident in emergency situations.

Our management system: Famly
At Scallywags, we use Famly, a platform that keeps parents and carers informed and involved in their child’s daily activities.
Through Famly, you can send us messages throughout the day, access updates, photos, and important information, as well as view documents related to your child’s care.
Additionally, Famly allows you to make Tax-Free Childcare payments directly through the app, for added convenience and peace of mind.

"But they won't eat that at home?"
We believe healthy, delicious, and varied meals should be a joy, not a chore. That’s why our home cooked meals are prepared from scratch every day by our talented chef. We cater to all dietary and weaning requirements, offering a full range of meals, from breakfast to lunch, dinner, and healthy snacks throughout the day!
We often hear that "they only like that at Scallywags," and we couldn’t be happier - but don’t worry, we love sharing our recipes!

Flexible Bookings
At Scallywags, we understand that family life can be busy and unpredictable. That’s why we offer flexible booking options to fit your schedule.
Whether you need Full or Part Time childcare, we can accommodate your needs, giving you the flexibility you need.
You can also book 'Ad Hoc' sessions, for those 'last minute' childcare needs!

A few more questions?
We pride ourselves on our in depth knowledge, experience, and ongoing training. We believe that this foundation enables us to not only support children but also to provide the necessary guidance and assistance to their families.
We are constantly striving to develop our practice and enhance our setting to ensure we offer the best possible care and experience for everyone who walks through our doors. If you have a question, please don't hesitate to ask.
