Childcare for Subiaco families, just around the corner in Wembley.
Subiaco has plenty of childcare options, many of them large. Poppy Patch offers something different a short drive away: a small, family owned centre where the owners are part of everyday life.
- 3 months to 6 years
- 6:30am to 6:00pm
- 2 weeks free

A smaller choice for Subiaco families.
With capacity for 50 children, a consistent team and two nurses as founders, Poppy Patch suits families who want personal care and a calm environment rather than a busy, multi storey centre.
Two weeks free for new Subiaco families.
Book a tour, meet the owners and see the room your child would join.
New families only. Conditions apply, ask us on your tour.
What is the best childcare near Subiaco?
It depends on what matters most to your family. Subiaco is to our south east, and Poppy Patch is a short drive north west. Families from Subiaco choose Poppy Patch Early Learning for its small, owner run feel (room for 50 children), nurse founders on site, meals cooked by our own cook, care from 3 months with a School Readiness Program, and clear fees from $175 a day before CCS. Book a tour to see if it suits your child.
Do you offer before and after school care for Subiaco schools?
Not at this stage. Our before and after school care is for Wembley Primary School only, as we walk children to and from school, but our vacation care is open to children from other local schools. Subiaco families use our long day care for children from 3 months to 6 years.
Who owns Poppy Patch?
Debra Gibson and Natasha Carolan, both nurses. Debra has more than 20 years of experience across early childhood and healthcare.
Do you provide meals?
Yes. Our dedicated cook prepares healthy, balanced meals and snacks every day.
