About the Business
Welcome to Aurrum Kids Childcare Mornington, located in the beautiful Mornington Peninsula in Australia. Our spacious and light-filled centre is designed to provide the best education and environment for your children.
Situated on the land of the Boonwurrong people, Mornington Aurrum Kids is just 57km southeast of Melbourne. We are conveniently located across the road from the Mornington Botanical Gardens and Art Gallery, and only 5 minutes away from Mornington Beach. This prime location offers a fantastic option for local families seeking quality childcare and early learning.
Our centre features large gabled windows that allow sunlight to flood into our classrooms, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The classrooms open onto a generous playground with all-weather surfaces, covered decks, and a sustainability hub. Our greenhouse and kitchen gardens showcase our commitment to sustainability and provide hands-on learning experiences for the children.
In addition to our custom-built playground, which includes raised garden beds, climbing equipment, a rainbow bike track, water play area, and creek bed, the children also have access to the adjacent parklands and sports fields. This allows them to explore and engage with nature while enjoying outdoor activities.
At Mornington Aurrum Kids, we celebrate and embrace the diversity of cultures represented among our team and students. Throughout the year, we organize various activities and events to promote cultural exchange and understanding. We also offer the unique opportunity for intergenerational engagement through our Grandfriends program, where children build lasting friendships and memories with seniors.
Our on-site cook prepares fresh meals daily in our custom-designed kitchen. We prioritize using seasonal ingredients, many of which are harvested by the children from our herb and vegetable gardens. This not only promotes a healthy and nutritious diet but also allows the children to participate in cooking their own meals and learn about the importance of good nutrition.
Our dedicated educators are carefully selected for their qualifications and experience in early childhood education. They are passionate about sharing their knowledge and experiences with the children, ensuring a well-rounded educational experience. We focus on various educational areas and provide a stimulating environment that encourages curiosity and exploration.
At Mornington Aurrum Kids, we understand the importance of keeping families updated on their children's activities, interests, and development. Through our Parent Portal in KinderM8, our teachers and educators regularly communicate with families, fostering a strong partnership between home and the centre.
As part of our commitment to community engagement, we actively involve our children in the vibrant and active community of Mornington. From beach outings to park visits, we encourage our children to connect with and learn from their local environment and community.
We invite you to book a tour at Mornington Aurrum Kids or speak to one of our friendly team members today. At Aurrum Kids, we prioritize building relationships with children, families, and the community, creating a true sense of family and inclusiveness in all our centres.
Our dietician-reviewed menu changes seasonally to provide variety while consistently offering nutritious meals for children. We believe in the importance of food education and regularly involve the children in cooking experiences with our centre-based cooks.
Aurrum Kids is just the beginning of your child's learning pathway. With our play-based approach and the natural resources in our centres, your child will grow, develop, and thrive in a nurturing and enriching environment.
We acknowledge and pay respect to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the first Australians and custodians of the land.

Reviews
"Couldn’t recommend Aurrum highly enough! Our 2 girls have loved their time there & the educators & staff are all amazing. Sadly we have just had to take our girls out as we’ve moved an hour away. It’s one of the things we’ll miss most :( Keep up the great work Aurrum."
"Booked a tour after being told 3 days were available for both my 4-5YO. Was greeted by a collective look of distaste by the educators and brushed off with a few side eyes. Communicated my needs as a parent seeking daily care of my 2 LO. I communicated efficiently special care required for my 4yo on the spectrum and ensured I was transparent of his gift of absconding and other sensory needs. Although told I would hear back from them within the day or following so they could revise within their management which days available- was sadly met with crickets. Waited a few more days before following up with admin/management and told once again due to a busy schedule they would get back to me the next week- Monday. Deeply disappointed for the waste of time & energy as I still have yet to hear back from anyone. Would have been a more decent and professional approach to call and inform that 1) The day care did not have the capacity to meet the needs of my little one or 2) At least let me know a more appropriate time frame they would actually get back to me, so I wasn’t eagerly waiting for a response to be met with nothing. The better response is exhaustible & sadly enough none were met. If you are looking for a day care that is rightly suited for your little one and/or alleviate your stressors as a parent or human on this planet I heed caution bothering with this establishment."
"I cannot recommend Aurrum highly enough. Since moving my son from another centre to Aurrum, I have seen his personality and confidence grow. He has developed great connections with staff and his Kindergarten teachers. His kindergarten teachers go above and beyond to provide an engaging kindergarten program that supports all children. At pick up, my son is always happy and proud to share his artwork, pictures and his ability to now write his name on his work. Thank you Aurrum for helping my son reach many milestones :)"
"We have two kids at Aurrum and they love it. Our 4yo son has made lots of friends and is so engaged by the educators. He is always happy when we pick him up. Our almost 2yo daughter lights up when we tell her it’s a day care day and she loves her educators! Would definitely recommend to other parents."
"We have two kids at Aurrum Kids Mornington and couldn't be happier. The Kinder program is fantastic with a phenomenal educator who plans engaging activities, which she has provided exceptional support for our eldest, enabling her to navigate her big emotions and begin her education journey with a solid foundation. The youngest has slipped in seamlessly into daycare life with the caring and empathetic staff. Both kids love their days surrounded by friends and caring, fun and energetic staff."
