  • AboutBrisbane Kids Creative was created by me! Ngaire Stirling. I wont pretend to talk in the third person about myself, instead let me tell you a bit about me and how 110.232.142.129/~brisba22 came about. At the time the domain name 110.232.142.129/~brisba22 came up for purchase I was a stay at home mum in the middle of a degree centred around journalism and PR. a couple of years earlier I had been contemplating returning to my previous career in marketing management and for a while I even tried. 3 months into a new role and it was clear that I had no passion for my old life and to make the decision to quit easier, my almost 2 year old at the time was not coping with childcare. So, as a family we made the decision for me to return to becoming a stay at home mum. About 1 years later or so.. 110.232.142.129/~brisba22 came up for sale. My friends had often commented on my ability to know exactly what was happening in Brisbane for kids. I had my son enrolled in some awesome activities and we often visited some great destinations. I loved finding fun things for us to doโ€ฆ

The Nurso at Chandler

Last updated: July 24, 2026
nurso cafe

Chandler’s The Nurso is a weekend favourite with locals chasing good coffee, morning tea and some time in the backyard. This popular garden nursery features a cafe,ย  some farm animals, a kidโ€™s play zone, kidโ€™s nature play classes (book at the cafรฉ or online), artwork, and more plants than you could fit into your entire garden.

You can easily spend a good part of your morning exploring this space, and you can also bring your onleash pooch along for the fun.

Original Artwork, Pots & Gifts

When you first enter The Nurso youโ€™ll be greeted by a large indoor space featuring a range of vibrant pots to match any dรฉcor, garden accessories, cane furniture and baskets. In this space you can find a display of natural stone for building and landscaping.

The teamย  at The Nurso have embraced the industrial vibe by commissioning local artists to create unique works of art throughout the property.

After some retail therapy treat yourself and the kiddos to beverages at Nurso Nook cafรฉ which has a delicious menu and freshly baked cakes.

Grab a Coffee While the Kids Play

The Nurso Nook cafรฉ serves a range of breakfast to lunch options with plenty of hot and cold drinks. Parents can enjoy an iced latte while the kids explore the dedicated childrenโ€™s area overlooking the picnic tables.

Kid’s Play Space

The chill-out zone is perfect for Brisbane Kids under eight years old. There are beanbags to chill out on, diggers and various toys to play with. This is situated near the picnic tables providing a place to play freely while grown ups can relax at the adjacent tables.

Friendly Farm Animalsย

The most recent Nurso residents are sure to delight ducks and alpacas (fyi no petting). The Nurso animals do change from time to time so you may be surprised with something different.

Children’s Creative Workshops
