Given the recent receivership of ABC Learning Centers I thought it might be useful to post some of the other childcare center locations around Melbourne.

I am sure there are many that I have forgotten to include - please add any more that you know of. Thanks!

Any in the Templestowe area?

I've worked in childcare centres and I don't recommend any child under three to be left for more than two days a week ...........................
Find a good nanny , might cost you a little more but its definitely worth it

I just heard a radio ad offering a 30 day guarantee.

They said something like enrol your child in one of their centres by the end of February and if you aren't 100% satisfied within their first 30 days they will refund your fees.*

They also clearly mention they are under new management.

Will be interesting to see how this unfolds, I for one hope they stay in business, not good for the economy to see them go under again.
