Our children are our family, and family always comes first.
At AppleBerries Beenleigh, our philosophy is rooted in love, trust, and connection. We’re guided by the belief that early learning is a partnership with families, and that strong relationships lay the foundation for lifelong learning and wellbeing.
Our team works closely with parents and carers to create a space that feels like a second home. Through play-based learning, daily routines, and responsive planning, we foster a sense of belonging, independence, and confidence in every child.
We proudly follow the Circle of Security framework and build meaningful relationships that help children feel safe, supported, and ready to grow.
what we offer
Program Highlights.
At AppleBerries Beenleigh, we focus on what matters most — connection, confidence, and discovery through play. With only three rooms and a 65-place capacity, our small and supportive setting allows children to build strong, trusting relationships with educators and peers.
We believe children learn best through play-based experiences that nurture their imagination, independence, and sense of self. Our daily routines are filled with opportunities for creativity, exploration, and meaningful moments of connection.
Our natural environment provides a calm and inviting backdrop for learning, and our team draws on the Circle of Security framework to support each child’s emotional and social development in ways that feel safe, familiar, and fun.

Meet the Centre Manager.
Nicola Campbell – Centre Manager
Hi, I’m Nicola, and I’m proud to lead the passionate and dedicated team at AppleBerries Beenleigh.
My early childhood journey began in 2002, shortly after moving from New Zealand. I’ve worked across every age group, from Nursery to Outside School Hours Care, and I’ve spent over 14 years as a Centre Director. I love supporting children’s development and building strong partnerships with families.
My passion for the outdoors, animals, and hands-on learning influences the way we engage children here — with nature-based activities, real-world experiences, and a whole lot of heart. I’m committed to open, honest communication and look forward to partnering with you throughout your child’s learning journey.
