    Our Fern Gully

    A home away from home in a natural bushland setting

    Fern Gully Child Care Centre is a family owned and operated long day care service at 1 Munro Street, Baulkham Hills, caring for up to 28 children from birth to school age. We are open 7:00am to 6:00pm, Monday to Friday. Nestled in a quiet residential street surrounded by bushland, our centre offers a peaceful, natural setting that encourages outdoor play and learning, with air-conditioned and heated rooms and shaded outdoor spaces for every season.

    Children learn in three dedicated rooms: the Kookaburras for children from birth to 2 years, the Joeys for children from 2 to 3 years, and the Echidnas for children from 3 to 5 years, with two preschool programs, the Preps and the Graduates. Our programs are guided by the Early Years Learning Framework V2.0 (2022).

    As a smaller centre, our educators truly know every child and family. We believe in open communication and strong partnerships with families, so every child feels valued, confident and excited to learn each day.
