How long will it take to hear back?

Most enquiries get a response within a couple of business days. It can take longer if you're looking for a hard-to-fill age group (like under-2s) or a suburb with fewer centres.

Does it cost anything to send an enquiry?

No, submitting the form is free. You're simply describing what you need so we can connect you with a suitable centre.

What details should I include?

Your child's age, the suburb or area you need care in, how many days a week, and your ideal start date. If you're waitlisted elsewhere or have a tight deadline, mention that as well so it can be factored in.

Find a centre with a place for your child

Fill in the form with a few details about what you're after and we'll pass your enquiry on to a childcare centre or early learning provider in Brisbane who can help. This might be a centre we work with directly, or one that's well placed to take on a new family based on what you've told us.

The more specific you are, the better the match. It helps to include your child's age, the suburb or area you need care in, how many days a week you're looking for, and roughly when you'd like care to start. If you have a preference for a particular approach (long day care, family day care, a centre with a strong outdoor program, and so on) or you're on a waitlist elsewhere and need something sooner, mention that too.

Childcare places can move fast, especially for popular age groups and inner-city suburbs, so if your timeline is tight, say so. Most people hear back within a couple of business days, though it can take a little longer if you're after a less common age bracket or a specific area with limited spots.
