Holland Park Kindergarten & Daycare
Situated in the peaceful and leafy suburb of Holland Park, Charley's Place enjoys the best of both worlds — a tranquil, family-friendly environment, combined with the convenience of being just a short distance from Brisbane's city centre.
This central location allows us to connect with the energy and vibrancy of the city, while still maintaining a calm, nurturing space for children to learn, grow, and explore.
The surrounding area’s green, tree-lined streets create a sense of calm, while the close proximity to the city offers families the convenience of being just 15-20 minutes from the hustle and bustle of Brisbane's CBD.
Whether families are commuting for work or enjoying the city’s amenities, our centre serves as a peaceful sanctuary where children can enjoy the tranquillity of suburban life without being far from the city’s resources.
Holland Park Centre's Meal Experience

We ensure your child enjoys a healthy diet and nutritious meals every day, supporting a strong foundation for their growth.
What Your Child Will Eat?

Children enjoy delicious, home-style lunches such as popular spaghetti bolognese packed with hidden vegetables, a gentle chickpea curry, or mini beef meatballs with sweet potato mash.
How Much Will My Child Eat?
At our Holland Park centre, we ensure mealtimes are a positive and unhurried experience. We offer age-appropriate portions and always provide the opportunity for seconds if your child is still hungry. In this relaxed social setting, our educators gently encourage children to explore new foods without pressure, helping make every meal an enjoyable part of their day together.
What Do You Do for Food Safety, Allergies & Preferences?
At our Holland Park centre, we place your child's safety above all else.
