Family Owned & Operated Childcare Centre at Warnbro
Hello and welcome to ‘Chuckles Childcare and Early Learning Centre’. Chuckles was established as a privately owned and run childcare centre on 2nd March 2010 as a 58 place centre. Having four daughters of our own, we understand the importance of providing a nurturing environment, which incorporates collaborative relationships and real life experiences, which has a play based learning approach.
As a privately owned centre, we are committed to delivering a high standard of care in accordance with all guidelines set out by the ‘Australian Children’s Education and Care Quality Authority’, the ‘National Quality Framework’ and the ‘Education and Care Services National Regulations and Law (WA) Act’.
I’m the licensee and director of Chuckles and I qualified in 1992 with a Diploma in Childcare (N.N.E.B.) I have spent my life caring and being committed to the welfare and development of young children and look forward to building reciprocal relationships with all our families.
On 1st July 2023, we expanded to a 94 place centre to account for the growing population around Warnbro. The expansion has enabled us to place the children in specialized age groups which creates an environment where social skills and relationships are easily established and developed, and appropriate teaching methods such as language, resonates with the entire group. Smaller groups of children that are in the same age group form caring relationships and build confidence as their peers are at the same development stage.
We aim to support our families by creating a homely environment, where the children are happy to stay and the parents/carers feel supported.
We look forward to you joining Chuckles. - Ann

Qualified Early Years Teacher, Diploma in Childcare and Cert III in Childcare Educators:
All our educators have a recognised qualification as specified in the Education & Care Services National Regulations and Law (WA) Act. Each room has a friendly and consistent mature team of educators that can be recognised by a uniform and badge.
The centre will sometimes employ young trainee educators that will be working towards a childcare qualification. Photos of all staff members are located in the foyer and within their classrooms. Employed educators will obtain; a first aid certificate, federal police clearance, working with children’s check (w.w.c.c) and a medical certificate.
Students/trainees and volunteers:
During each year we host a number of students from various University’s ,Tafe’s and/or Schools to help them with their studies. They can be recognised by the wearing of red tabards. In turn this gives us an opportunity to share ideas and keep us up to date with new practices. All students and volunteers are carefully screened before starting at the centre and will always be supervised by a permanent member of staff.
Relief staff:
Regular relief staff are employed on a casual basis to cover staff holidays & sickness.
Staff and grouping:
The children are split into six classrooms, where over time, they will progress from one age group to another. Transition forms will be completed before your child moves classrooms. This will be done in collaboration between parents and educators, whilst focusing on individual needs, developmental stages and what is best for the child.
If at any time you have questions about your child’s development and well-being, our educators are always available to have a discussion with you. However, we do ask that you talk to the room leader about any development or behaviour concerns. You can also arrange a private meeting.
If you have any queries or concerns, please speak with the office staff or alternatively you can phone us on Ph: 9593 8816 or send an email to director@chuckleschildcare.com.au. If we don’t know there is a problem, we cannot address it.
