Meet Our Service Manager

Well hello, my name is Gill Marsden, and I have been working in the  early childhood industry for 30 years. I started out as a room leader, and by the time I was 24, I was fortunate enough to have my own centre in St Kilda. After 17 years, I sold it and joined the Koala family, first as second in charge, and then on to director at a number of their services. Two years ago, I was honoured to have the opportunity to move to Warrnambool to join this fantastic team of educators as well as our wonderful community of families!

This year, we had the excitement of seeing our Service grow from 102 places to 162 places with the opening of our beautiful new extension.

As a service manager, I believe it is our  role to build a rapport and positive relationships  with educators, children, families and the wider community, and this is something I believe we do well.

Please, take the time to come in for a tour of our wonderful facility, and we will be more than happy to answer any questions you may have.

Tailored Learning and Curriculum for each age group


We believe that the value of play is of utmost importance to children as it is their way of learning about their world.  While children play they are able to experiement with new ideas, test theories and their understanding of concepts, express their creative ability, release their emotions and share their feelings.  While engaging in play children are developing across all domains and creating the building blocks for their future.

Baby Nursery Child Care

6 weeks to 12 months

We partner with you to provide a safe, quality, family-centred learning environment where every child is respected and nurtured. We continually develop our skills and explore new ways to enrich your child’s early learning experience.

Child Care Toddler Room

1 year to 2 years

Indoor and outdoor play based experiences are an integral part of our program. Educators plan a diverse range of experiences to create opportunities for your child in both structured and spontaneous play.

Pre Kindergarten and early Preschool

2 years to 4 years

Our programs are inspired by the wisdom and teachings of early childhood theorists and the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), and aim to develop children’s emotional, social and cognitive intelligence.

Kindergarten and Preschool

Over 4 Kindergarten

The Kindergarten curriculum continues to emphasise play based learning, however offers additional intentional learning times where the focus is on literacy and numeracy, socialisation, self-regulation and independence.

What the parents of Warrnambool senior campus are saying

Best childcare centre by far, I have no hesitation leaving my child there because I know she will be well looked after by friendly, caring and engaging educators!

We have two sons who both attend koala. After searching and trying a couple of centres this is by far the best day care we have been to. The staff are like part of our family and we trust them completely with our boys. We’ll be staying here for the next couple of years.

Friendly staff, convenient location, long opening hours and huge outdoor play area with a new spacious building. What else you expected from a childcare centre? My 14 months old daughter perfectly settled to the room thanks to her favourite educators Emma, Rachelle and Raidah. I’m pretty sure she will have more favourites when she is growing with this awesome place.
