Bendigo Family Day Care

Bendigo Family Day Care, an integral service of Bendigo Community Health Services (BCHS), offers a distinct home-based childcare experience throughout Bendigo and surrounding regions of Central Victoria. It provides a nurturing and flexible environment where qualified, passionate educators care for small groups of children in their own homes. This model fosters a strong sense of belonging and ensures individualised attention, deeply rooted in a commitment to high-quality, community-focused care for families.

The service’s primary highlight is its personalised, home-based approach, often delivering greater flexibility than larger, centre-based care. Children thrive in smaller group settings, benefiting from the continuity of care provided by a consistent educator and an environment that truly feels like a 'home away from home.' Educators meticulously plan engaging, age-appropriate learning experiences, aligning with national frameworks to promote holistic development through play in a familiar, safe setting. As an approved service, Bendigo Family Day Care also administers the Child Care Subsidy (CCS), enhancing accessibility to quality care.

Mums consistently choose Bendigo Family Day Care for its intimate and adaptable nature, particularly those seeking a warm, family-like atmosphere for their children. It’s an ideal choice for parents who value a consistent caregiver and a flexible schedule that can seamlessly accommodate varied work patterns or unique family requirements. The intentionally smaller group sizes guarantee that each child receives focused attention, cultivating deeper bonds and creating a calm, less overwhelming environment perfect for infants, toddlers, and even school-aged children requiring before or after-school care. Families find immense peace of mind knowing their child is flourishing in such a caring, dedicated home-based setting.
