About Our Berwick Campus

There's a bright, homely feel to working at Berwick. Set inside a beautifully converted house on Gibb Street, the campus feels warm and personal while still being close to Berwick Central, Berwick Station, local schools and buses. With extended hours and easy access, it feels practical and nurturing.

Inside, Berwick feels like a close community. Children learn across three indoor spaces and a large partly undercover outdoor area with a sandpit, herb garden, vegetable patch and natural climbing equipment. Families often describe the team as family, with strong educator bonds, low staff turnover and excellent communication. It's a campus where children feel loved, settled and ready to thrive.
