We recommend families visit a range of childcare services to choose the most suitable one for your child’s needs.
Here are some questions to ask yourself when choosing a childcare service:
- How many hours of care do you need? (e.g. whole day, mornings, afternoons, few hours a week, occasionally etc.)
- Do you want your child cared for in a home environment or in a centre?
- What kind of qualifications and experiences do staff members have?
- Does the centre offer a Department of Education and Early Childhood Development (DEECD) funded pre-school program?
- What learning and play opportunities do you want your child to have?
- What kind of routine will your child have?
- Do you want the centre to provide lunch? Can you look at a sample meal plan?
- Does the centre provide nappies?
- What is the carer-to-child ratio?
Contact us for more information on childcare in Manningham.

The game is a foot at Doncaster Playhouse as you are taken to the 1950’s McCarthyism, blackmail and murder!
Playhouse Players invite you to their performance of Clue on Stage.
Clue, set in New England USA, where six strangers are invited to dine at a mysterious manor. But when their blackmailing host turns up dead, Miss Scarlet, Mrs. White, Mrs. Peacock, Professor Plum, Colonel Mustard and Mr. Green all join with Wadsworth the butler and Yvette, the maid to figure out who did it!
Studley Reserve's fun playspace caters to children of all ages. A footpath provides access into the reserve.

- swings
- monkey bars
- a see-saw
- a slide.
There's lots of informal open space and a great hill to roll down!

Report an issue
Have you noticed something unsafe like a broken tree branch or damaged playground that needs our attention?
Organising a large event?
Some types of events, such as festivals or school's cross country runs need a special permission to be held on public land.
Community members will enjoy a safer, more accessible and usable Doncaster Hill Community Garden, with a redesign planned to get underway in June.
Manningham Mayor, Councillor Deirdre Diamante said the garden is a treasured place where people come together to grow, share and connect.
“The Doncaster Hill Community Garden plays a vital role in supporting our community,” Cr Diamante said.
“Beyond providing fresh and nutritious food, it nurtures a stronger local food system, social connections and community wellbeing.
“Importantly, it also provides fresh produce to people experiencing hardship through Doncare’s food relief program,” she said.
The works will include levelling uneven ground to reduce tripping hazards and installing raised garden beds at varying heights to support gardeners of all ages and abilities.
New wicking beds, improved composting and better water use will support more efficient and diverse food growing, including culturally significant crops. Security will also be improved through soft fencing, gated access and lockable compost bins.
“We’ve listened to our dedicated volunteers and gardeners, whose insights and aspirations have helped shape the planned improvements to the garden,” Cr Diamante said.
“The result will be a more accessible space that reflects our community values of sustainability, sharing and inclusion,” she said.
The Doncaster Hill Community Garden is a friendly space for anyone interested in growing food, meeting others and learning new skills. It hosts a working bee every second Tuesday, where community members come together to grow and harvest produce.
The garden will be temporarily closed from June to August 2025, while the works take place.
The shed will not be impacted in the redesign.
