What to expect from overnight care at Kaleidoscope Kids

What to expect from overnight care at Kaleidoscope Kids

At Kaleidoscope Kids, we know that parenting is a 24/7 job. Sometimes, parents need extra support, whether it’s for work, emergencies, or just a well-deserved break. That’s why we offer overnight care at our Redbank Childcare Centre, providing a safe and comfortable space for children to rest, play, and feel at home.

A warm and welcoming environment

Overnight care at Kaleidoscope Kids is designed to feel just like home. We create a cosy, safe, and nurturing setting where children can settle in comfortably. Our educators make sure every child feels welcome and secure, whether they’re staying for the first time or are regulars in our early learning program.

We provide soft bedding, cuddly toys, and quiet spaces to help children relax. Our rooms are designed to be peaceful, with soft lighting and a calm atmosphere that promotes restful sleep. Children are encouraged to bring their favourite comfort items from home, whether it’s a blanket, stuffed animal, or bedtime storybook.

A structured but gentle bedtime routine

A good night’s sleep is essential for a child’s development, and we make sure bedtime is smooth and comforting. Our overnight care program follows a familiar routine, helping children feel secure and ready for sleep.

• Wind-down time – Before bed, children engage in quiet activities such as reading, puzzles, or gentle music to help them relax.

• Bedtime hygiene – We assist children with brushing their teeth, washing up, and putting on their pyjamas, making bedtime a stress-free process.

• Storytime – Educators read bedtime stories to create a calm and cosy atmosphere.

• Lights out – Children are tucked into their beds, and we ensure a quiet, soothing environment to help them drift off peacefully.

For children who might have trouble sleeping, our educators provide gentle reassurance, a comforting presence, and extra support as needed.

Healthy and balanced mealtimes

Overnight care at Kaleidoscope Kids includes delicious and nutritious meals. We serve dinner before bedtime and offer a healthy breakfast in the morning.

• Dinner – A balanced meal is served early in the evening, including fresh vegetables, proteins, and whole grains.

• Bedtime snack – A light snack is provided before sleep, such as fruit, yoghurt, or wholegrain crackers, to ensure children don’t go to bed hungry.

• Breakfast – A nutritious start to the day with options like cereal, toast, fruit, and milk.

We cater to dietary requirements and allergies, making sure every child gets the nutrition they need in a way that suits them.

A fun and engaging evening

Overnight care isn’t just about sleep, it’s also about making children feel comfortable, happy, and engaged. Before bedtime, children enjoy fun, low-energy play-based learning activities that help them settle in without getting overstimulated.

• Arts and crafts – Simple and creative activities that encourage self-expression.

• Quiet games – Board games, puzzles, and storytelling to keep minds active but relaxed.

• Gentle movement – Stretching, yoga, or slow dancing to help little bodies unwind.

We make sure every child has the chance to do something they enjoy while preparing for a good night’s sleep.

Support from experienced educators

Our dedicated educators are at the heart of our overnight care program. They provide comfort, supervision, and support throughout the night. Whether a child needs a reassuring hug, help settling down, or just a familiar face nearby, our team is always there.

We take the time to get to know each child, their routine, and their unique needs. This helps us ensure every child feels safe and cared for, just like they would at home.
