Need child care in Newcastle, Lake Macquarie or the Hunter?

We know how hard it can be to find childcare so here’s the Newy with Kids Child Care Guide which lists child care centres by different suburbs. Whether it’s long day care for a baby, preschool or early learning centres for toddlers or preschoolers, there’s a centre for your child.

We recommend visiting the Australian government website Child Care Finder to do more research on potential child care facilities including looking up their rating in the National Quality Standard. Also check out the Newy with Kids article on how to secure childcare which contains tips on finding care for your baby or child.

 

Featured listings are posted at the top. We thank these businesses for their support of Newy with Kids.
