The fire at the Care for Kids school of early learning in Kingsley was reported around 5am and was extinguished quickly, with crews slowly starting to clean up by 6.30am.

Crews told 9News Perth that the fire started in the kitchen, and that they had managed to stop it spreading throughout the rest of the daycare centre.
