About Us
Melissa and Serra are the new owners/operators of CHEERIOKIDS Heidelberg, a small family run Childcare Centre in Heidelberg. Working in the family run childcare and being in the education sector for more than ten years, we have both become passionate about early education and care. In this time, we have honed our skills and expanded our knowledge, Serra with her Bachelor’s in education and Melissa with her Advanced diploma.
We are open 6:30am to 6:00pm Monday to Friday.
We are a MULTICULTURAL Centre who are catering for the needs of the community we are living in.
Our History
Founded with love and passion in 2007. Matthew and Ness poured their hearts and souls into creating a nurturing environment where every child feels valued, supported, and empowered to reach their full potential. Migrating from Turkey in 1989, Ness studied and worked in childcare for more than 10 years before embarking on the role of Co-Director (and chef). Matthew is a qualified an IT Engineer, and with their skills combined they decided to start their own Childcare service – that is how Cheeriokids was created.
Cheeriokids has been open for the last seventeen years and Ness & Matthews unwavering belief in the power of early childhood education and their relentless pursuit of excellence have laid the foundation for everything we do. As we celebrate our achievements and look toward the future, we're forever grateful for the profound impact they continue to have on our center, our families, and our community. You will continue to see Ness (as the kids call her Nessy Nana) in the kitchen as our head chef and Matthew as IT support in the office.
Location
We are located in a quiet suburban street in Heidelberg Heights.
On street parking is available for 2 hours and a designated drop off area is located directly in front of our service.
