Being a parent can be demanding, and exercise can help meet those demands. The Ascot Vale Leisure Centre offers safe and nurturing childcare services (registered with the Department of Education & Training) for members as well as casual visitors.
We deliver a safe and nurturing environment for children aged 6 weeks to school age children during the school holidays. Our qualified and experienced childcare team enjoy a close working relationship with each child's parents. A relationship that delivers safety, growth and development.

We provide a fun and safe environment with activities including indoor and outdoor play, home corner, story books, arts and crafts, puzzles, blocks, and playdough.
While the children are entertained, parents can enjoy the family-friendly gym facilities. Including our large selection of group fitness classes, use of the gym and swimming pools or indulge in some well-deserved downtime at our cafe.
