The Eaglehawk Childcare centre — 39–43 Peg Leg Road, Eaglehawk, $5.5 million — is now in fit-out stage. 100 purpose-built early learning places for Bendigo’s northern catchment, sitting inside the Nexus Learning vertical.
Why Bendigo’s north
Eaglehawk sits in Greater Bendigo’s northern growth pocket — a catchment with a young family demographic that has grown steadily in the last decade. Purpose-built early learning capacity in the immediate catchment has not kept pace. A ground-up 100-place centre lands into genuine demand.
What fit-out looks like in a childcare centre
Fit-out is the stage where an early learning centre stops being a building and starts being a curriculum-ready environment. Room-by-room fitout of joinery, floors, wet areas, outdoor sensory zones, staff room infrastructure, and the safety compliance layers — everything from tap heights to sight-line coverage across every activity area.

What fit-out timing means for opening
Fit-out is typically the last six-to-twelve weeks of a centre’s build program before council certification and licensing. Opening timelines are shared with the Nexus Learning enrolment team as they lock in. Enrolment expressions of interest are open now.
