Meet Margot, our Jilliby Centre Manager

Hello, my name is Margo, and I’m proud to be the Centre Director of Nature’s Academy Jilliby.

I’ve worked in the childcare industry for a number of years and I am passionate about creating nurturing, inspiring environments for children and educators alike. I’m absolutely thrilled to be joining the Nature’s Academy team and contributing to the beautiful learning culture we foster here.

Outside of work, I’m a mum to two teenage boys and two energetic fur babies. Much of my free time is spent supporting my boys in their sporting pursuits and enjoying the adventure that family life brings.

At Nature’s Academy Jilliby, I look forward to building a strong, supportive team, one that lifts each other up and inspires the children in our care every day. I’m excited to meet you all and to support you on your journey with us.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      How do I enrol my child at Nature's Academy Jilliby?

      Start by submitting your enquiry using the form on this page. We’ll walk you through availability, arrange a centre tour, and guide you through every step of the enrolment process from there.

      What ages does Nature's Academy cater for?

      We welcome children from six weeks through to six years of age. Our centre is designed with dedicated rooms for each stage — Nursery (0–2), Toddler (2–3), Preschool (3–4), and Kindergarten (4–5) — so your child is always with peers at a similar stage of development.

      Is the Child Care Subsidy (CCS) available at this centre?

      Yes — Nature’s Academy Orange is an approved CCS provider. Most families are eligible for government support through Services Australia. To estimate what you may receive, visit the Services Australia CCS estimator. Our team can also help you understand what to expect when you book a tour.

      What's included in the daily care?

      Everything is included — nutritious meals and snacks, nappies, wipes, sunscreen, yoga sessions, and excursions. We believe families shouldn’t have to think about extras, so our care is genuinely all-inclusive from the moment your child arrives to the moment they leave.

      How does the settling-in period work for new children?

      We take settling in seriously. Every new child begins with a gradual introduction — starting with a short visit together, then building up over a few sessions. Educators keep in close communication with parents throughout, so you always know how your child is feeling and settling.

      Is there parking near the centre?

      We’re located at 2 Decora Drive, Jilliby. Parking is available on Decora Drive. If you’d like directions before your first visit, give us a call on (02) 4335 1868 and we’ll help you find us.
