Who we are
At Jnr Explorers, we believe early learning begins with a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment—where every child is known, valued, and celebrated.
As a small, boutique-style 30-place centre with just three thoughtfully designed rooms, we pride ourselves on building strong, genuine relationships with each family. Our intimate setting creates a true sense of belonging for both children and parents, allowing us to provide highly personalised care and attention.
Our family-oriented approach means we work closely with parents, respecting and supporting each child's individual needs, interests, and routines. We embrace and celebrate diversity, recognising that each child and family brings a unique background, culture, and perspective. Through inclusive practices and a welcoming environment, we help children develop empathy, respect, and a sense of identity within a multicultural community.
Our dedicated educators foster secure, trusting relationships, helping children feel confident, curious, and ready to explore their world.
Safety is at the heart of everything we do, offering peace of mind to families and providing a calm, caring space where children can grow, learn, and thrive.
At Jnr Explorers, your family becomes part of ours.
Our Philosophy
At Jnr Explorers, we believe that every child is capable, unique, and full of potential. We provide a safe, welcoming environment where children feel confident to explore, learn, and grow at their own pace.
Here’s what’s important to us:
Empowering Children
We follow a play-based, child-led program based on the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF). We believe children learn best when they are actively involved, making choices, and following their interests.
Partnering with Families
We value strong, respectful partnerships with families. We welcome all families—no matter your culture, background, family type, or beliefs—and work closely with you to support your child’s learning and development.
Creating a Safe Environment
The safety and wellbeing of every child is our highest priority. All our educators are trained in child protection and follow clear policies and procedures to ensure children are safe, respected, and supported at all times. We are committed to creating an environment where children feel secure, listened to, and protected.
Being Part of the Community
We aim to be a centre that gives back to our community. We acknowledge and respect the Traditional Custodians of the land, and we’re passionate about sharing knowledge and building strong, inclusive community connections.
Inspiring Environments
Our centre is clean, calm, and filled with beautiful spaces that invite children to explore. We offer diverse experiences so children can learn about different cultures, people, and ways of life—helping them grow into kind, open-minded individuals.
Caring Educators
Our educators are not only qualified, but also kind, passionate, and respectful. We support each other and work together as a team to create a nurturing place where children and families truly feel they belong.
At Jnr Explorers, we’re more than just a childcare centre—we’re a community where your child is celebrated, supported, and kept safe every step of the way.

"Our son started here at 7 months and spent 5 years here. He absolutely loved going here everyday single day. He had a safe and happy place growing up here. Lots of credit goes to Miss Renee and Mr Tom for giving the care and being a role model for the kids. JNR explorers was a second home for our son."

"We are so happy with Jnr Explorers! It is the perfect size, clean, new and feels super homey! All the educators care about the children and it is evident. Cannot recommend enough. You know when your children run in and don’t even look back, you’ve hit the jackpot."

"Jnr Explorers is brilliant. As a teacher myself, it is so great to see show much fun and excitement the director and educators bring to my daughter’s first official learning experience. They have a lot of play based learning but also important focuses throughout the day. They care about each child and connect with the families and local community. I can honestly say my daughter has never cried being dropped off there as she loves it so much. Highly recommend."

"Our daughter's review is "Miss Renee is THE BEST". We love JNR Explorers. We feel so well supported by the team there. Everyone in the centre knows our kids, their personalities and interests, and they support them in their development and social skills - after moving from a different centre we have seen our daughter's confidence and language skills grow tenfold. But the thing we notice most is that our kids are happy, and so are all their friends. It's great."
