✨ Childcare, school care and family activities

Bayswater Child Care Association – Out of School Care Centres

The DEN – Derrick Ernst Neighbourhood Centre

Based in Morley, The DEN offers flexible occasional childcare for children from birth to six years. Families can make casual or permanent bookings and pay by the hour, which may suit appointments, work, study or a short break from caring. The centre also hosts playgroups, school-readiness activities, baby sign, parenting classes and family first-aid courses. It operates Monday to Friday from 8 am to 4.30 pm, excluding public holidays and its Christmas–New Year closure.

🎯 Youth connection and disability supports

Cahoots Social Space

Friday sessions run from 4 pm to 6 pm and are shaped around participants’ interests, with possible activities including games, craft, outdoor recreation, sensory experiences and mindfulness. Membership registration is essential. The club is a teen-only space, although support workers may attend when a young person requires additional assistance.

Cahoots Kids and Teens Day Supports

Cahoots provides structured group day supports for children and young people aged 5–17 who live with disability.

📌 Before you book or attend

• Check age and eligibility: programs differ by age, disability support needs, family circumstances and funding arrangements.
• Confirm your place: registration may not guarantee availability, particularly for group supports, supervised contact and childcare.
• Ask about access: discuss mobility, sensory, communication or personal-support requirements directly with the provider before attending.
• Clarify supervision: check whether a parent, carer or support worker should remain, especially for community activities and youth programs.
• Confirm current details: ask about fees, session times, holiday closures, school access and cancellation conditions when booking.
