Childcare in Melbourne's Bayside & Inner South

The suburbs in this group sit along and just inland from the bay: St Kilda in Port Phillip, Brighton in Bayside, Bentleigh in Glen Eira, and Moorabbin, Cheltenham and Mentone in Kingston. St Kilda is the closest to the city and Mentone the furthest down the bay. Brighton and St Kilda sit on the water; Bentleigh and Moorabbin are a little further back from the beach.

Bentleigh shares postcode 3204 with Ormond, which is in our south-east guide, so families on that side of Glen Eira may want both pages. Cheltenham, Mentone and Moorabbin are Kingston neighbours with a ranking each rather than a shared one. Open any card to read that suburb's full top three, including each centre's NQS rating and its date, the published fee and what it covers.
