Babyccino Long Day Centre overview
Welcome to Babyccino Long Day Care Centre, located in the heart of Brighton Le Sands and surrounded by a diverse community. We are a small service that provides a warm and friendly environment and aspires to be a second home for children and families. Our exceptionally caring and professional educators nurture young children through our nursery, toddler, kindergarten, and preschool programs. The children at Babyccino have access to bright, open-designed spaces with a plethora of resources and experiences for ever-growing and curious minds to engage in new learning experiences and explore through play.
At Babyccino, our aim is to create secure and positive environments for children to thrive and become more competent and confident individuals. We are committed to providing opportunities for intellectual, social, emotional, and physical development through planned experiences, learning through play, and drawing on the children's interests and funds of knowledge to further their learning experiences. Our educators foster children's growth and development by building on children's interests, needs, and strengths within a safe and caring environment guided by the Early Years Learning Framework to embed and implement a quality learning program.
We are an inclusive service that strives to work in partnership with parents and families. This allows us to provide the highest-quality care for your child and their loved ones, as a parent/guardian, to feel secure and confident that your child is receiving the best possible care. We invite you to visit Babyccino to learn more about our quality care, curriculum, and learning environment.

Our Second Family! I was highly recommended Babyccino after having a not so good experience at another daycare! THANK GOD I found Simone and her team of professional carers. My daughter has been going to Babyccino since she was 5 months and she absolutely LOVES it there, she is always happy, smiling and jumps out of my hands at drop off's. The team at Babyccino are extremely professional, they provide many updates and pictures daily and on many occasions offered great advice. As a first time mum Simone and her team have been a god send! Babyccino really feels like a family rather than a daycare, I can not recommend them enough! So, so happy with their service!
Pererra Family
My three children have attended Babyccino for the past year. The team have been very flexible, accommodating, generous and nurturing.
The same educators have cared for my children since we started and this has helped them to feel secure and to really thrive in an enriching learning environment. The other families at the centre are lovely and we share a strong sense of belonging to the Babyccino community. As a professional dietitian, I have been very impressed by the healthy meals provided at Babyccino. I have noticed that my children are enjoying a much wider variety of foods.
Brown Family
My son has been attending Babyccino long day care 5 days per week from the time he was 12 months old and he loves it. He is now almost 5 and ready to start school in February.
The staff are amazing! Simone, the owner, and the other educators ensure that the children receive a lot of one on one attention and they also encourage them to interact with each other.Babyccino provides many structured activities to stimulate their learning and development. My son has learned basic maths such as counting and adding and subtracting. He knows the alphabet and he can spell his first and last name. Attending Babyccino has helped him to grow and learn beyond what I could have ever managed as a mum who works full time.
Saric Family
We moved my son to the centre only five months ago and from day one he loved it. The team have been amazing! His education and social skills have developed in ways that still amaze me every day. The team lead by Simone have not just provided support to my son but also to our family.I would not hesitate to recommend Babyccino for any parent looking for a centre that provides nurturing support to the kids as well as being an amazing educational learning centre.
Siwicki Family
My Daughter has been at Babyccino for the past 3 1/2 years. She loves it and has grown and learnt so much by attending, Simone and the Educators are wonderful and friendly. She also loves when Shake n Move comes and I love the Kinderm8 app as I get to see what they have done during to day, this allows me to chat to her better about her day.

We value creating a sense of wellbeing and close relationships with our children, partnerships with community and families, sustainable practices, cultural immersion, inclusive learning environments and programming and documentation of your child's development. To ensure we remain up to date and flexible to changing attitudes, working approaches and new ideas, our philosophy, policies, practices and goals are annually reviewed through working closely with our families and educators.

Centre is clean and bright. Educators are so caring. My first started during lockdown and the owner Simone did all she could to accommodate us and settle him in during such a weird and crazy time. Now my second goes there too and they love it. They come home very happy each day and we have never had any issues. Kids are barely ever sick either. Whether that’s their own good immune system or cleanliness of the centre I don’t know but it’s a bonus! Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend babyccino :) Read more

That is a testament to what an amazing daycare babyccino is! Simon, Bay-Lea, Charlotte and their team of educators in both rooms are amazing! They all have a genuine love for the kids and it shows! All my three at drop off everyday run in and forget about us! And at pickup, they'd rather stay and play than come home! Probably the best daycare centre, in our opinion! The facilities are great and the place is clean. Could not fault it. Definitely recommend it to other parents in a heartbeat! Read more

After my child was at All About Children for months and felt like he was just a number there (like a robotic soulless environment) we moved to Babyccino and it’s been a revolution and frankly an awakening on how child care should be. Intimate, caring, clean, customised and attentive. My baby boy is thriving, advancing and so is our family with both of us working highly demanding full time jobs. Just excellent. Can not recommend more and say goodbye to big chain day cares. Read more
