A little about us

Nestled in the leafy suburb of Somerfield, Somerfield Playcentre has been moulded and loved by the inquisitive, messy and playful hands of hundreds of children over the years. Allow your children’s curious fingers to join the tapestry of learning here at Somerfield Playcentre.  

Our indoor space is open and welcoming with engaging play resources for all ages. You will find children sitting quietly in the reading corner, making lavish picnics and putting babies to bed in the family corner, and experimenting with colour and texture in the arts and crafts area.   

Our outdoor space has something for everyone with room to run free as well as enclosed leafy areas, excellent for hiding and seeking or quiet play. Sweet smelling herbs, flower petals and leafy plants are perfect for potion making and developing one’s culinary skills in the mud kitchen. We also grow real food that we enjoy using in our shared kai. Our large sandpit is well equipped for digging, building, experimenting, creating animal habitats … you name it, our sand pit can accommodate it. We also have slides, swings, a jungle gym and a garage, filled to bursting with equipment for biking, bouncing, balancing, driving, kicking, swinging, climbing  and so on. We are only limited by our imaginations.   

We are passionate about playing and about the community of families who have made Somerfield Playcentre the ECE for their children. Come and see for yourselves … and do wear your messy clothes. You never know what kind of play you’ll be swept up in when you walk through the door.
