Two ways to grow up, in one place
Mini Bambini is a family owned centre in Sinagra where mainstream long day care and our Early Intervention Centre sit side by side. Children of all abilities grow up in the same community, not in separate buildings.
Which one is right for your family?
Both services run from the same purpose built centre in Sinagra. If you are not sure which fits your child, tell us and we will talk it through with you.
4 months to 5 years
Long day care
Four rooms, from Baby Tots through to Kindy Kids. Play based learning and intentional teaching, open 7am to 6pm.
Explore long day care
2 to 5 years
Early intervention
The Criss Cross Program, for children with autism associated learning difficulties and developmental challenges. On site therapy facilities, with time alongside peers in the mainstream centre.

Family owned
Independently managed by a family who are parents themselves, not a national group.
Purpose built
A modern centre designed for early learning, not a converted house.
Parents are partners
We treat parental involvement as the cornerstone of a child's education, not an add on.
Both services, one site
Children can move between early intervention and mainstream care as they are ready.
What you can check on us
Still to add to this strip
Two of the strongest trust signals available are missing because the centre has not published them. Across the ten Australian centres reviewed in Phase 2, no site displayed its own rating, so this is free differentiation.
- National Quality Standard rating. Mini Bambini to supply the current ACECQA rating.
- Year established. Not stated anywhere on the current site.
A day at Mini Bambini
Knowing the shape of the day helps, especially for a child who needs to know what is coming. Meal times below are the centre's actual published times.
- Doors open. Breakfast is served until 8am for children who arrive early.
- Morning tea, then indoor and outdoor play.
- Lunch.
- Rest or quiet time, then experiences set up around the children's current interests.
- Afternoon tea.
- Doors close.
Rest times, outdoor play blocks and group time are not published on the current site. Mini Bambini to confirm the real daily rhythm for each room so this timeline can be completed.

What families say
"The staff go above and beyond for the kids and I couldn't be happier with the service. Really feel like I am dropping them off to spend time with family which is invaluable."
"Never had any issues and have always found the staff to be loving, caring and supportive. You have truly built a lovely little community for little ones to learn and grow."
"The way the staff greet and welcome our baby in the morning warms my heart and makes me feel at ease to go to work. The updates they send at the end of each day are always detailed."
Before this section goes live
- The real aggregate is shown deliberately. 4.3 from 12 reviews, with a link to the full listing. Showing only the five star quotes while hiding a 4.3 average and two one star reviews risks misleading conduct under Australian Consumer Law.
- Two one star reviews exist, from two and five years ago, with serious allegations. Neither appears to have an owner response. Responding to both should happen before this page is promoted.
- These quotes were captured for research, not licensed for publication. The live site should pull reviews through the Google Places API with attribution, or a reviews widget, or use static quotes with the reviewer's written permission.
- Reviews are stale. Only three in the last two years. Worth asking current families before launch.
Come and see for yourself
Visit during a normal busy morning, or book a quiet tour outside peak times. Whichever suits your child.
