Business: Explore & Develop Sydney CBD Castlereagh Street is a privately owned and operated, boutique service, taking a different approach to Early Childhood Education and Care.

4worldlovers: Our curriculum caters for all age groups from babies to pre-school and includes a School Readiness / Transition Program and is guided by Australia’s National Curriculum, the Early Years Learning Framework.

We offer many opportunities for children to engage in additional programs such as Spanish and Mandarin lessons, Sporting programs and Excursion Program to many of the city’s amazing places of interest including Hyde Park, The Botanic Gardens, The State Library, Martin Place and The Opera House.

We invite you to come on a tour and see for yourself why our families say that Explore & Develop Castlereagh Street is the best Sydney CBD childcare centre.

The Owner and Director, Paul Ludlow, provides a personalised approach that corporate-owned services are unable to offer. Parents can feel assured that the Owner-Operator of the service will be available on-site daily, ensuring high-quality education and care.

All of our inspiring educators hold qualifications and Working With Children Checks. Their passion for nurturing and educating children is evident in everything that they do. Please read our testimonials to hear what our families think of the standard of education and care that we offer.

Both the indoor and outdoor environments have been designed by Early Childhood Educators in collaboration with industry leading Architects and Landscape Architects to create an environment that is home like, nurturing and stimulating.

We know that parents are busy, so we provide the convenience of longer opening hours of any service in the city. We are open from 7.30am to 6.30pm, so that parents have the flexibility they need to achieve a balance between work and home.

We also support families by offering not only breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea and a late snack but a dinner option depending on what works for your family.

We believe that building respectful and collaborative partnerships with each family is important. For this reason we share information about children’s interests, their learning and development. We achieve this through face-to-face communication, as well as through digital applications, so that families receive regular updates and photos during the day of their child’s time at Explore & Develop Castlereagh Street.

Paul Ludlow was inspired to create an environment for children and families based on what he would have personally wanted for his own children growing up. This philosophy ensures that every interaction and decision regarding the operation of the service considers not only the practical, but also what is in the best interests of all children and families. Paul’s extensive management and hospitality experience is evident in his approach with educators and families at Castlereagh Street. Paul is active in his local community, and volunteers his time at a local primary school where he was President of the Out of School Hours (OOSH) care program.

What we have seen on drop off, pick up and via Kinderloop along with the pace of her development indicates excellent care. The baking activity for ANZAC Day and crafts for Mother’s Day was special. I have nothing but praise for the professionalism and dedication of all carers I have interacted with. It was noticeable how quickly they all got to know our daughter’s personality.

Our aim is to provide a clean, nurturing and stimulating environment for our infants where our focus is on relationships, to ensure each child feels safe, secure and supported. We have two beautifully designed rooms, so that the younger babies and the older babies have their own spaces to explore. Age-appropriate resources, materials and equipment are provided to encourage children to explore and investigate using all their senses.

A private breastfeeding area is also provided and our fully inclusive fee for this age group is $186 per day.

Our two Toddler rooms deliver the toddlers their own spaces to explore, discover, create and imagine through play-based learning. The environment and program is vibrant and flexible and responsive to the interests and abilities of each child and includes puzzles, literacy and numeracy activities, construction activities, creative arts, music and pretend play set-ups.

Our fully inclusive fee for this age group is $186 per day.

Aligning with the Australian EYLF Framework, our unique S.M.I.L.E.S curriculum nurtures children’s Champion Mindset, teaching them to become creative and confident life-long learners.

MindChamps @ Broadway uses our research-based programs alongside our school readiness preschool curriculum. This early learning and child care centre focuses on learning through Crafted Play, which encourages children to explore new concepts, through play and under the guidance of our educators.

Young children learn best through hands on, experiential activities. Our learning programme is about embracing the learning potential in everyday experiences. The S.M.I.L.E.S Methodology encourages our young Champs to engage in Sensory, Motor, Intellectual, Linguistic, Emotional and Social activities within the play environment to harness these opportunities.

Alongside our early learning programme, our preschool Champs benefit from our breakthrough Reading Programme. Using theatrical strategies, the preschool curriculum encourages a love of reading and storytelling. By developing early literacy we foster a connection with the written word which will benefit our Champs for the rest of their lives.

Our Broadway service is a pillar of the Glebe and Ultimo community. As a dedicated Glebe preschool and child care provider, our Broadway team is committed to engaging our children with their local community. The service hosts monthly visits with the Glebe Library, Glebe Public School and invites elderly residents through their doors as part of their community outreach.

“Our daughter has been at the Broadway centre since just before she turned a year old and the Educarers there have been an integral part of her development. She is learning to be an intelligent, thoughtful, creative and respectful young person who loves drawing on her experiences from the centre when she is outside of daycare. She has an excellent rapport with her fellow Champs and Educarers and we couldn’t be happier with the care and education she is receiving.”

4worldlovers:
The Early Years of a child’s life are the most important developmentally. 75% of a child’s brain develops during the first 5 years of their life, and half of all the intellectual and developmental potential of a child is established by age 4. Where you decide to send your child for their preschool years, will set the foundation for the rest of your child’s life.


We pride ourselves on bringing an authentic Montessori learning approach to ensure your child meets their full potential in every aspect of their development - Social, Emotional, Physical, Cognitive and Communication.
