Sonas Early Learning & Care closes its Wanneroo childcare centre after its landlord, Charter Hall, takes back the premises and the operator stops services. The centre’s owner says the landlord enters the property on Saturday and takes possession “without prior notice,” forcing an immediate shutdown of the 86-place facility.
Parents report they are caught off guard by the closure, with some describing a lack of warning. Families scramble to arrange alternative care, and several say children’s belongings, including hats and bottles, are left locked inside the centre. The outlets frame the situation around the suddenness of the landlord’s action and the impact on families, rather than any alleged fault by staff or children.
While both accounts agree the centre shuts abruptly and leaves families scrambling, they differ in emphasis: one focuses on the owner’s claim about the landlord’s entry and possession without notice, while the other spotlights parents’ immediate practical difficulties after the closure.
