“The environment should act as an aquarium which reflects the ideas, ethics, attitudes and culture of the people who live in it. This is what we are working towards.”

Nestled in Yarralumla’s lush greenery, St Nicks Botanica invites children to explore the natural world.
Here, the outdoor environment guides learning—through sensory encounters, open‑ended play and connection to Country—fostering confidence, resilience and wonder. Our Reggio‑inspired approach ensures that play, wonder and respect for the environment flourish together.
St Nicks Botanica accommodates 92 children aged 6 months to 5 years across six play spaces (two for babies, two for toddlers and two for preschoolers).
Embraced by Yarralumla’s garden setting, children connect to nature through planting projects, sensory mud‑kitchen sessions and outdoor explorations.
All within a Reggio Emilia framework that sees the environment as a collaborator in learning.
