“Debbie, the centre manager, and Leah are both great at managing the centre, and all the staff are so lovely, friendly and caring.”
This is honestly the best childcare centre my child has ever been to. Debbie, the centre manager, and Leah are both great at managing the centre, and all the staff are so lovely, friendly and caring.
They often organise fun activities for the kids, like excursions, Coles shopping trips and cooking, which the kids really enjoy. It’s not just about childcare — they give the children lots of fun and meaningful experiences.
Our family has had such a great experience here, and I really feel the centre deserves its Exceeding rating. We’re very happy with the care our child receives here! 👍
“We made the switch to Una after becoming unsatisfied with another daycare in the area, we’re so happy with the community of staff, educators, kids & parents.”
We made the switch to Una after becoming unsatisfied with another daycare in the area, we’re so happy with the community of staff, educators, kids & parents.
All the staff from the admin to educators in other rooms know all the kids. Even before my baby started Una, they knew his name just from us doing the drop off and pick up.
The staff are super responsive with any comms or issues. If there’s anything going on, Deb will have comms out about it ASAP, if you need to call or email, you’ll get a response pretty quickly.
We love it here and wouldn’t send our kids anywhere else.
“Its safety standards are incredible and I feel 100% confident leaving my kids for the day.”
I LOVE this centre. Its safety standards are incredible and I feel 100% confident leaving my kids for the day. Staff turnover is very very low compared to surrounding centres and they would rather combine rooms than hire casuals from an agency for the day if short staffed which is so much safer in my opinion.
Lovely educators, top teams leaders and a great director which is probably why this centre is so successful and sought after by families in the area.
“The environment is always welcoming and nurturing, and the teachers consistently go above and beyond in the care and attention they provide.”
We are so grateful for UNA Childcare Centre! Debbie and Leigh are wonderful leaders who coordinate beautifully with their team. The environment is always welcoming and nurturing, and the teachers consistently go above and beyond in the care and attention they provide. I especially appreciate how they keep us informed about every detail of our child’s day — it gives us such peace of mind knowing he is safe, cared for, and happy. The extra effort they put into creating a safe, supportive, and positive space truly shows. Highly recommend!
“As traumatic as it was starting daycare for us as parents, the educators really went above and beyond to help our child settle and engage with activities.”
The educators at the facility were fantastic. They really do care for a child and really helped us when we first started. As traumatic as it was starting daycare for us as parents, the educators really went above and beyond to help our child settle and engage with activities. We're really looking forward to continuing at the daycare centre as our kid goes to the next room!
“We have had 2 children attend una (youngest still attending) .”
We have had 2 children attend una (youngest still attending) . We had attended another centre in the area prior so understand what you else is out there . The management and carers at Una really do an amazing job of looking after the children and creating engaging activities to help them grow and develop . We couldn’t recommend the centre highly enough.

FAQs
Everything families usually ask us about Una Taringa.
Still have a question?
What qualifications do the staff have?
Our Educators have a range of qualifications, including Bachelor qualified Early Childhood Teachers, Diploma and Certificate 3 Level qualifications in Early Childhood Education and Care. Our Trainees are studying towards their Certificate 3 in Early Childhood Education and Care.
How many days can my child attend?
At Una Taringa we understand the need for flexible care arrangements for our families. As such we offer not only full-time care (5 days per week), but also part time care (1-4 days per week). These bookings are of a permanent nature meaning that your child’s booked place is guaranteed at the Centre each week and as such fees must be paid regardless of attendance. We are however happy to change your child’s day within a given week subject to availability.
Your child is able to attend for any time within our daily operating hours on their booked day (with the exception of public holidays when the Centre is closed).
How do I pay my fees?
Fees are payable weekly via an automatic debit system, set up forms are provided on enrolment.
If you choose to receive government fee assistance as a fee reduction, these amounts will be credited to your account once the details are received by the Centre from the Australian Government – Family Assistance Office (FAO). For determining your families eligibility for Child Care Benefits please contact the Family Assistance Office on 136150.
Will I be charged for public holidays?
As part of our commitment to providing continuity of care, our educators are employed on a permanent basis and are paid for public holidays. To support this, Una charges the full daily fee on public holidays.
We appreciate your understanding as this helps us ensure stability for our team and maintain the high standard of care we provide.
What happens if I no longer need care for my child?
Two weeks’ notice in writing to the Centre Manager is required if you would like to cancel your child’s enrolment at Una or cancel a day permanently. Please note that if you do not attend the Centre during the notice period, you are unable to claim government fee assistance for that period and full fees will be payable.
What if my child has an accident whilst at the Centre?
Una is committed to providing a safe environment for everyone in our Centre however despite our best efforts sometimes accidents do unfortunately occur. If your child is involved in an accident whilst at the Centre, we will ensure that first aid is administered immediately. The Responsible Person in Charge will ensure that you or an emergency contact are notified promptly and details of the accident will be recorded on an Accident Report.
