Check child care availability on the Gold Coast

Finding a place that actually has room, on the days you need, from the date you need it, is usually the hardest part of child care. Fill in the form with a few details about your situation and we'll pass it on to a Gold Coast child care centre or provider that's a good match and likely to have availability.

What to include

The more specific you are, the more useful the reply will be. Try to mention your child's age (or due date, if you're booking ahead for a baby), which days and hours you need care, your suburb or the areas you'd consider, and roughly when you want the place to start. If you have a preference for long day care, family day care, or a particular educational approach, say so too.

Availability for child care changes fast, especially for popular centres and younger age groups, so it's worth enquiring even if you think a place might be full. Centres often keep waitlists or can suggest a nearby alternative with a spot open.

A member of the team looks over each enquiry and matches it to a suitable centre or provider based on what you've told us. Response times vary depending on the service and how many families are asking about the same age group, so treat this as a way to start the conversation rather than an instant booking.
