Heritage listed Kensington House is the new home of Wendy's Nursery School and ELC. The former grand residential Mansion has open access to bright, custom-designed spaces, and experiences with plenty of room for growing, inquisitive, energetic minds and bodies to play, relax and explore.

With warm and comforting interiors and beautifully landscaped outdoor spaces Kensington House is designed with all the senses in mind, stimulating creativity, encouraging children to develop their thinking and be curious learners.

Our centre is a homely, nurturing place where young children can thrive and be happy.  We enable each child to grow with varied learning experiences.  We have spacious outdoor environments tailored to the different ages and programs. 

Our in house chef prepares fresh, delicious meals on site and involves the children in the planning, cooking and growing of fruits and vegetables from our kitchen garden.

From individual and group play to intentional planned and spontaneous experiences, our educational programs are designed to help children develop into confident young individuals.
