Warabrook contains 2 Long Day Care centres (161 places), with overall provision relative to the local child population appearing favorable compared to national benchmarks, and above the Regional NSW average on a resident basis — though likely far tighter supply once significant daily workforce inflows to the area are considered. With no preschool/kindergarten services observed in the area, only long day care, the ratio of children per place for the under 5 age group is 0.8 - placing the area among the top 20% nationally for supply per child on a resident basis, though closer to ~0.9 once estimated daytime workforce inflow is factored in. With projected population growth of 10.1% between now and 2041, and 15.0% in the under 5 age group in particular. As well as this projected growth, other factors worth noting are lower female labour force participation of 51.2%, as well as lower than average employment performance.
Proximity analysis saw distances of local residents to their nearest child care centre being relatively in line with national benchmarks while fees are notably lower than national averages.
