Tree House Childcare Centre

Tree House Childcare Centre is a new childcare centre in the heart of Żejtun, a historic town in the south-east of Malta. It has been created for working parents, and in particular for families who live in the southern part of the island or who work close by at the Bulebel Industrial Estate. You will find it listed with other options in our directory of nurseries in Malta.

The centre's message is simple: finding someone to look after your children is a challenge wherever you live, and the choice of childcare in Malta helps to make it easier. Tree House opened its first registrations as a new facility, so places and start dates are best confirmed directly through an enquiry, and the centre's own message encourages parents to get in touch early.

Who the centre is for

The centre's focus is the south of Malta. Many UK families who relocate choose the quieter southern villages for lower prices and a more local feel, and a nursery close to home or close to an industrial area makes the working day more manageable. Our guide to relocating to Malta from the UK explains the main areas and how everyday life works, and our page on working remotely from Malta will help parents who split the week between home and an office.

Parents who are working out how a move affects their finances can read our Malta tax guide for UK nationals alongside their childcare plans.

What to ask when you enquire

Because the centre is new and its website is brief, a short list of questions will help you decide whether it suits your family. Ask about the age groups it takes, the days and hours it opens, the number of children in each group, the daily routine and how it handles the free childcare application. It is also sensible to ask about start dates, since first registrations were only just opening, and whether you can visit the premises in Żejtun before you commit.

Including your child's age, your preferred start date and the area where you live or work in your first message lets the centre reply with something specific rather than a general answer.

Health, cleanliness and safety

Infection control is a stated priority at Tree House. The centre uses both natural and high-level cleaning and disinfection products at all times, with the aim of keeping children safe. If you have particular questions about routines or hygiene, include them in your enquiry so that the centre can answer them directly.

Government-funded childcare

The centre points parents to Malta's free childcare provision. Government-funded childcare is available for children aged three months to three years if both parents are employed or in education, and application forms for free places can be found online or at childcare centres. Eligibility is decided by the Maltese authorities, so ask the centre what applies to your family, and keep proof of employment or study to hand when you apply. The centre also invites people interested in working with the team to get in touch.

Żejtun and the south

Żejtun is a short drive from several of the island's best-known heritage sites. The Ħal-Tarxien Prehistoric Complex and the Ħal Saflieni Hypogeum are both within a few kilometres, and our Three Cities guide covers the harbour towns across the water. Families enjoying a day out can see our things to do in Malta, best beaches in Malta and the Blue Grotto guide for the south coast, while the Malta weather guide helps you plan around the seasons.

Tree House Childcare Centre is on Triq Salvu Cacciattolo in Żejtun. To ask about registration, use the VisitMalta.co.uk enquiry form on this page and we will pass your message to the centre.
