Childcare in Adelaide: What should families know?

Choosing childcare in Adelaide is an important decision for families, and finding the right centre involves more than location alone. It’s worth considering your child’s age and developmental needs, the centre’s educational approach, safety practices, opening hours, fees and availability.

Mini Masterminds is opening its first South Australian childcare centre in Elizabeth Park. The purpose-built centre will welcome families from Elizabeth Park and surrounding suburbs, including Elizabeth, Elizabeth North, Davoren Park and Elizabeth Vale.

Discover our programs for baby childcare, toddler childcare and preschool to learn more about how Mini Masterminds supports children at every stage of their early learning journey.

Nursery Program

Six weeks to two years

Our Mini Beginnings nursery program focuses on responsive care, consistent routines and strong educator relationships. Babies are supported by familiar educators who understand the importance of comfort, trust and gentle communication.

Dedicated nursery environments support sensory exploration, early movement and emerging communication skills in a calm and nurturing setting.

Toddler Program

Two to three years

Toddlers are supported as they develop independence, language and social confidence. Learning experiences include music, storytelling, creative expression and problem solving activities shaped by children’s interests.

Clear daily rhythms help toddlers feel secure while they explore, experiment and form early friendships.

Pre School Program

Three to five years

Our Mini Milestones Pre School program supports children as they prepare for kindergarten. Learning experiences introduce early literacy, numeracy, technology and inquiry based thinking in meaningful ways.

The program was developed with input from a primary school teacher to support a confident and smooth transition into school.

  • How do I check a centre’s NQS rating in Adelaide?

    You can check a childcare centre’s National Quality Standard (NQS) rating through the Australian Government’s StartingBlocks website. Search for the centre by name or suburb to find available information about its quality rating.

    The NQS assesses early childhood education and care services across seven quality areas, including educational programs, children’s health and safety, staffing arrangements and relationships with children.

  • What does the Child Care Subsidy cover?

    The Australian Government’s Child Care Subsidy (CCS) helps eligible families reduce the cost of approved childcare. The subsidy is generally paid directly to the childcare provider, reducing the fees families pay out of pocket.

    The amount you receive depends on factors such as your family’s income, the type of care, your child’s circumstances and the applicable hourly rate cap. Eligible families must meet the relevant Services Australia requirements.

    You can check your eligibility and learn how to apply through the official Services Australia Child Care Subsidy page.

  • Does the 3 Day Guarantee apply in Adelaide?

    Yes. The Australian Government’s 3 Day Guarantee commenced on 5 January 2026 and provides eligible families with at least 72 hours of subsidised childcare per fortnight, equivalent to three days per week, regardless of their activity levels.

    The guarantee applies nationally to eligible families using approved childcare services, including services in South Australia. However, it does not guarantee a place at a particular centre, and families may still need to pay a gap fee.

    For more information, visit the Australian Government’s 3 Day Guarantee page

  • Does Mini Masterminds offer 3-year-old preschool in Adelaide?

    Mini Masterminds’ Adelaide centres will offer a preschool program for children aged three to five years. The program is designed to support children’s early literacy, numeracy, independence and social development while helping them prepare for their transition to school.
