Childcare for early starts, late finishes and shifts that don’t fit a 9-to-5 day. Children’s Choice offers after-hours care from 6am to 8pm in Raceview and Heritage Park, built for nurses, healthcare workers, hospitality staff, night-shift workers and any family on non-standard hours.
Need childcare that works around your schedule?
Not every working day starts at 9am and finishes at 5pm.
Some parents leave home before sunrise. Others finish work in the evening. Many work rotating rosters or schedules that change from week to week and standard childcare hours don’t always reflect that reality.
Our after-hours childcare gives families a wider care window:
This extra flexibility around early starts, longer workdays and later finishes can ease the daily pressure of rushing between work and childcare, or relying on several different people to cover the hours a standard centre doesn’t.
After-hours childcare is designed for parents who need care outside the hours offered by standard childcare centres. At Children’s Choice, that means a wider window between 6am and 8pm helpful if you:
Rather than forcing your working day into a limited childcare schedule, extended hours give you more room to plan care around how you actually work.
Shift work rarely follows a predictable 9-to-5 routine an early start one week, a later finish the next, a roster that changes without much notice.
Our 6am–8pm care window may suit families managing:
If you’re looking for childcare for shift work, the real question isn’t just whether a centre has a place available, it’s whether the hours can realistically work around your roster. Our team can talk through your typical shifts, the days you need care and your preferred Children’s Choice location.
Healthcare doesn’t stop at 5pm. Nurses and other healthcare professionals often work early starts, long shifts, changing rosters and late finishes which can make standard childcare hours hard to manage.
Our after-hours service, with care from 6am to 8pm, may be particularly useful for:
An earlier opening time helps when a shift begins before the standard working day. A later closing time gives more flexibility when work runs into the evening. Every roster is different, so we encourage nurses and healthcare workers to speak with our team about their actual schedule and care needs.
Hospitality work often happens when other businesses are closed. Early breakfast shifts, busy afternoons, evening service and rosters that change week to week can make childcare especially difficult for parents working in:
Children’s Choice offers childcare from 6am to 8pm, giving hospitality families more flexibility around early starts and later finishes. If your roster changes from week to week, our team can help you understand your options and whether our extended hours suit your family.
For some parents, the childcare problem starts before the working day even begins. If you need to leave home early, a later opening time can make it impossible to get to your shift on time.
Children’s Choice opens from 6am useful if you:
Finishing work later shouldn’t mean watching the clock and worrying about childcare closing time. Children’s Choice stays open until 8pm for families whose working day runs beyond standard childcare hours.
Later care may help if you:

Children's Choice
We moved to the area last year and decided to send our 3 kids here. I have been amazed by the overwhelming amount of support and communication. Our kids are not the easiest to deal with and we have been met with nothing but kindness and support. To date, this has been the best centre we have been to. Would highly recommend!
My kids have a lovely experience and care there. Staff are really kind and helpful with great knowledge. Staff always keep the things up to date and enough activity for kids . My kids also enjoy the company . In short have wonderful experiences.
Fantastic staff and great care for both our boys.. they have a blast every day
Children’s choice is definitely the best choice I could’ve made for my son. He absolutely loves his. Daycare loves the care providers and I feel so comfortable with him being there knowing that he’s safe and sound. They keep me in the loop with anything that is happening and I feel very confident and at peace with this Daycare and the care they can provide is amazing. 10/10 recommend
My daughter has been going here since 4 months old and she's now 3. With us being first time parents it has been such a comfort having the guidance and encouragement from all of the educators at Children's Choice supporting us in our journey of taking care of our little one. She absolutely loves going every day. We've seen her grow in confidence, make friends, and she always comes home happy. It is amazing the work they do and I’m so grateful for the nurturing environment they’ve created.
My two babies go here. They are always so lovely and kind. They supply nappies and food. They are a great daycare. 10/10 would definitely recommend!
Our son loves going to this centre and our second child has recently started there. The staff are friendly and our kids learn a lot on their days at the centre.
We are so grateful putting our Son to Children’s Choice. It’s an amazing experience and interaction with all the educators. Ms Sila has a wonderful way of nurturing and making every child feel valuable and are always open to work with parents to improve their children. I have noticed positive growth in my son’s confidence and social skills as well as learning and the teachers really took a big part on that. Couldn’t be happier with the Center and the services they provide.
Our family moved from New Zealand, and when our son struggled to adapt at another kindergarten, we enrolled him here. Thanks to the teachers’ warm care and support, he settled in well, and we are truly grateful to all the staff for making the transition so positive.
My son has been to two child care centres and childrens choice has been the best choice for him.. Daily updates, nutrition food, regular nappy changes, and well what can I say about the staff as soon as you walk in your welcomed straight way its like you are 1 big happy family... but my sons Current teacher miss savannah she is just amazing and so are the other educators... No1 children center around
With the caring heart of the management through to the attentive, highly skilled staff , this childcare centre caters for all types of families. Caitlin and Stacey are very supportive and passionate about their careers within the organisation offering assistance second to none. Having 5 children all under 7 and a single mum, having the extra activities from learn to swim through to yoga and also a bus for home pickups and drop offs makes life just that little more easier for me. Thanks to you all for allowing my little ladies and I the opportunity to be part of your extended family. 😇
