Camden Preschool & Long Day Care Centre
Blinky Belle has been operating from 1A Ironbark Avenue in Camden since 2008, offering a family-owned childcare experience just a short walk from the Camden town centre.
Our childcare centre welcomes families from all backgrounds, fostering acceptance, respect and ongoing support to create a caring and inclusive early learning environment in Camden.
Our indoor and outdoor spaces inspire play, creativity, and learning. Children enjoy garden beds, sand pits, and a cubby café outside, while indoors, natural light and age-appropriate resources spark discovery.
Our chef prepares healthy menus, and our qualified educators lead a supportive preschool program. Open 50 weeks a year, SunSmart accredited, and breastfeeding-friendly.
At Blinky Belle Preschool, our programming supports the National Quality Framework provided by the Australian Children’s Education & Care Quality Authority (ACECQA).
A key component of this is the Australian Government’s Belonging, Being and Becoming – Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), which recognises that early childhood is a vital period in children’s learning and development.
