Plans have been unveiled for a new childcare centre in Eglinton that could cater for up to 98 children as the rapidly growing suburb continues to take shape. Nurture Early Learning is seeking approval to construct a childcare centre, valued at $2.8m, on a vacant block of land beside the new Eglinton Village shopping centre on Imperial Entrance and Marmion Avenue. The Eglinton centre would be Nurture’s fourth in Perth if approved, with the provider currently operating two centres in Victoria Park, and one in Murdoch. The development application report describes the proposed childcare centre as an “innovatively designed building” within an emerging neighbourhood centre. “The facility will be highly accessible to families in the local area and throughout the wider catchment by virtue of its location fronting Marmion Avenue and connection to the adjoining shopping centre.”
