This innovative, child-first childcare centre will house up to 130 children and is the signature centre for this progressive organisation. Mother Duck wanted something special to position its brand as the market leader. Designed from a child’s eye view, it features a vibrant entrance way and fish-tank reception area.

Seven individually themed ‘homes’ adapt to children’s changing activities and needs throughout the day. They open off Rainbow Street a flexible covered indoor-outdoor play space. The home-like design fosters an atmosphere of belonging. Rest rooms are quiet and calming, and storage and utilities thoughtfully considered for a highly inhabitable space.

The centre is full of interactive child-height features and a magical explorative playground with diverse textures, sound and colours. Creating interesting and daring spaces for children to explore and play in surpassed the client’s expectations.
