Child Care Building Design
From Planning to Playtime — Designs That Nurture, Comply, and Inspire
Designing a child care centre isn’t just about ticking boxes. It’s about creating safe, inspiring spaces where children can learn, play, and thrive—while staying fully compliant with NSW planning regulations.
At ES Design, we specialise in child care building design across Sydney. With over 25 years of experience, we help child care providers, developers, and investors bring their centres to life—from feasibility to final certification. Whether you’re opening your first centre or expanding your brand, our team of building and planning experts will help you navigate the process with clarity, creativity, and confidence.
What’s Included in Our Child Care Building Design Services?
We offer a full-service solution tailored for child care centre projects, including:
1. Initial Planning Review & Feasibility Assessment
Before you commit to a property, we assess whether it’s suitable for a child care building development. Our team examines zoning, site constraints, access, and local council policies, and provides a preliminary estimate of how many children the site can accommodate.
Think of it as a reality check—before you spend a cent too much.
2. Development Application (DA) Design & Submission
Getting your DA approved is where our expertise truly shines. We design a centre that meets all regulations while still delivering on your vision. You get:
- Thoughtfully planned layouts with indoor/outdoor balance
- Full DA documentation, plans and reports
- Coordination of Letters of Authority
- Submission of your DA to the council
- Transparent updates every step of the way
We’ve achieved state-record turnaround times on DA approvals—thanks to our smart process and local know-how. Explore how we’ve done this in our past projects.
