Laura
Gracelands provides a happy, safe and positive learning environment for our kids. The team here is what makes it such a special place.
- multiple staff members always welcome you and your children on arrival and pick up
- they know your family and care enough to make conversation and suggestions
- keep you informed and in the loop, including daily photo updates in app
- low staff turnover, caring, positive attitudes and overall lovely staff
- healthy and varied menu made fresh each morning by chef Ryan, who also does special event menus and demos in classrooms
- constantly update facilities like new toys, books and play equipment throughout the year
- outside play area with shade areas and low noise pollution
- excellent preschool program with curriculum in all rooms

The main testament is my children’s experience and attitude- they love to go each day, point out their ‘school’ when we drive past, and my eldest now in Primary school still loves to visit when picking up her siblings, chat with her previous educators, and play in familiar surrounds.
Response from the owner:Thank you for sharing such a detailed and thoughtful review, Laura. It is wonderful to hear how happy and secure your children feel and how much the environment, routines and daily experiences have supported their learning. Your kind words about the welcoming team, the consistency of care, the quality of communication and the fresh meals prepared each day are truly appreciated. Hearing that your children love coming in and that your eldest still feels such a strong connection speaks volumes about the relationships built over time. We are grateful for your feedback and the trust your family places in us.

Guardian Graceland Early Education Centre has been absolutely incredible for both my boys. They’ve loved every moment there (my eldest is in year 1 and still talks about his time there and misses it). And it’s easy to see why. The staff and educators are truly amazing - attentive, nurturing, and genuinely beautiful people who create such a warm and supportive environment. I’m so grateful for the care, love, and learning they’ve provided. Highly recommend!
Response from the owner:Thank you for sharing such a lovely review, Jess. It is wonderful to hear how positively both of your boys experienced their time at the centre and that those memories have stayed with your eldest even after moving on to school. Your kind words about the attentive and nurturing approach of the educators mean a great deal. It is clear how much the warm and supportive environment has meant to your family. We truly appreciate your recommendation and your trust.
Quincy Z.
The centre manager’s leadership greatly contributes to the positive culture and high quality of the centre, and we deeply appreciate her dedication.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Quincy! We’re so pleased you recognise the positive culture and high-quality care. Your kind words about the centre manager’s leadership and dedication mean so much. Thank you for sharing!

Response from the owner:Lisa, thank you for your 5-star review! Your support means so much to us, and we’re delighted you’ve had a great experience!
Renee van S.
Moving our daughter to Guardian Gracelands from another centre has honestly been the best decision we’ve made for her education. The transition was so smooth. Our 4 year old made instant friends and connected straight away with her educators.

Alison and Lucy have been amazing, always available for a chat and incredibly supportive of our family during the move. Every morning, our daughter can’t wait to run into her room to see Miss Shadi and Miss Rozina, who she talks about non-stop when we get home! Their warmth and dedication to the children’s learning is just next level.

We’ve seen huge growth in our girl's communication and social skills since joining Gracelands, and it’s all thanks to the incredible team. And a special shoutout to Chef Ryan — the centre always smells amazing, and I’m pretty sure my 4-year-old eats better than I do!

I only wish we’d made the move sooner! Guardian Gracelands has been everything we hoped for and more!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for sharing this lovely feedback Renee! We’re thrilled to hear that moving to our centre has been such a positive experience for your family. It’s great to know the transition felt smooth and that your daughter settled in so quickly, making friends and connecting with her educators right away is exactly what we hope for! We’re also really proud to hear about the growth in her communication and social skills, that’s a big part of what we aim to nurture here! Alison and Lucy will be so pleased to hear your kind words. They’re always happy to support families, and it’s wonderful to know their presence made a difference during the move. Miss Shadi and Miss Rozina clearly have a special bond with your daughter, and we love hearing how excited she is to see them each day. Chef Ryan will definitely appreciate the shoutout! He puts so much care into every meal, and we’re glad your daughter is enjoying the delicious food. Thanks again for your thoughtful review Renee, we’re so happy to have your family as part of our community!
Margareth
The quality of care at Gracelands is exceptional. Both of my kids attend this centre and their improvement in learning also social skills are outstanding. My eldest is at school now and she still thinks that Gracelands is the best place on earth! The Educators are professional, friendly and act based on what’s best for the children. Thank you!!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your wonderful review Margareth! We're thrilled to hear that both of your children have had such positive experiences with us. It's heartwarming to know that your eldest still holds our centre in such high regard, this speaks volumes about the positive time they had with us. Our educators strive to provide the best care and support for all our children, and your kind words affirm our efforts. We truly appreciate your trust and support over the years. Thank you for being a valued part of our Gracelands family!
Alison N.
I have had children attending Gracelands from 2014, with my youngest still attending now. I now manage the service but having seen the Centre from both perspectives, can say that the educators are the most passionate and dedicated and are always finding different ways to go above and beyond for our children and families, forming meaningful relationships.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for sharing your experience Alison! It's incredibly rewarding to hear from someone who has seen the centre from both a parent's and a manager's perspective. Building meaningful relationships with our children and families is at the heart of what we do. Thank you for being a part of our community since 2014 and we look forward to many more rewarding years together!

My daughter just celebrated her 5th birthday at Graceland Childcare, and I couldn’t be happier with the love and warmth she received! Chef Ryan even made a cake for her as a surprise, completely free of charge, and sent me videos and photos of the celebration. It was such a heartwarming moment that I’ll cherish forever.

This experience reminded me of her 3rd birthday at another childcare, where not a single teacher acknowledged her special day—it left me heartbroken. But Graceland has shown me what a truly caring and thoughtful learning environment looks like. The educators and staff genuinely care about the children, creating a space where they feel valued and celebrated.

I wholeheartedly recommend Graceland to any parent looking for a nurturing, supportive, and loving childcare. Thank you to the amazing team for making my daughter's birthday so special!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for sharing your heartwarming experience with us Mia! We're absolutely delighted to hear that your daughter's 5th birthday at our centre was filled with love and warmth. Chef Ryan's surprise cake and the thoughtful celebration of this milestone, truly highlights the caring 'home away from home' environment we strive to create. Your recommendation means the world to us, and we're incredibly grateful for your trust and support in caring for your daughter. Thank you for being a part of our Graceland family!

Guardian Graceland has been like a home for both of my kids. Highly recommended. Would be among top day cares across the country.

Chanunya K.
I have two kids here starting at the beginning of this year and I can see a huge development in terms of emotion and academic. All educators are attentive and friendly smiling all the time, and are very good at their jobs. The centre manager, Alison, is very effective and efficient communicating and updating us clearly and timely. Their learning programs are excellent having various activities to suit each stage learning. The centre is well organised and clean all the time. We are busy parents who are feeling relieved that our kids are in good hands at Guardian Graceland Early Education. Thank you so much! I couldn't be happier!
Response from the owner:Thank you Chanunya for the great feedback. We are overjoyed to hear that our nurturing educators and quality play-based learning programs have supported your children emotionally, mentally and physically. Our centre manager and educators at Gracelands are grateful for the opportunity to care for your children and work alongside you day by day to create a memorable experience.

Our little one started day care this year and couldn't have chosen a better place! I saw the difference between day 1 and day 2, week 2 and month 3.

Our little one feels happy and secure. He's excited to go to day care and see all his teachers and peers. A true reflection of the educator's hard work and genuine care. I feel secured knowing our LO is in good hands!

Rhythm of the Day

We know children and families like routine, so you will always receive a warm welcome each morning and an invitation to stay for breakfast. At the end of the day, a smooth transition is assured with your child’s belongings ready for you after a day that fulfils your child's interests and curiosity. In between, the day is filled with new and exciting experiences to engage young minds as part of their early childhood education. Here’s a glimpse of what a day of play-based learning at our childcare centre often looks like.

Morning

Breakfast time provides a great chance for you to share what is important and how your baby’s night at home was.

Mid-Morning

Your baby will enjoy engaging in both our indoor and outdoor nursery environments with planned experiences like songs and story time, followed by morning tea.

Middle of the Day

Your baby’s lunch times will suit their needs, and with our open-door policy, families are welcome to enjoy lunch/bottle time with your baby. When your baby is ready, they are gently settled for sleep and rest.

Mid-Afternoon

Our planned indoor and outdoor nursery experiences continue with the chance for movement, games and more books and songs, with an afternoon snack provided.

End of Day

The Nursery team are eager to share information about your baby’s day and their learning, preparing you and your baby for a smooth transition to your evening.

Great communication is vital in our collaborative partnerships with families at the Centre. We have a variety of different ways we communicate with you about your child’s learning and progress:


  1. Storypark app - Stay connected to your child's day with regular updates, including photos and learning insights

  2. Pick-up and drop-off updates – Our Educators will share highlights from their day, including experiences they enjoyed, mealtimes, and naps to support your evening routine.

  3. In-room learning exchange displays make our weekly learning plans easy to see so you know what your child will be learning.

  4. Centre Newsletters – Great for community connection and wider Centre and team updates.

  5. Development documentation and meetings for your individual child’s progress.


But remember our door is always open.

Our Learning Programs

Learning should be fun! Learning through play encourages children to explore and understand their world at their own pace. It helps build their knowledge, develop confidence, and embrace curiosity.

Learning should be fun! Learning through play allows children to build their knowledge, develop confidence, and embrace curiosity.

Preschool Program
Flying start to school

Our Flying Start to School preschool program is lead by degree qualified Teachers in a long day care setting. Our specialist two-year program is committed to supporting your child as they prepare for big school. We focus on nurturing their confidence, making friends and social emotional growth while also supporting their abilities in reading, writing, counting, and thinking skills. Whether it’s building with blocks, practicing their first letters, or learning to share with friends, every experience is carefully designed to support your child’s development.

Our Centre is a recipient of funding as part of the NSW Government’s Start Strong Program. Families can receive fee relief to reduce your out-of-pocket fees of up to $2174 per child aged 4 on or before 31 July 2025, and up to $515 per year for children aged 3 on or before 31 July 2025. Ask for more details when you tour the centre.

Out and about

Through excursions, children are supported to expand their world, to get to know their community, and have a sense of belonging. Their learning thrives when they feel safe, welcome, and that they belong.

Cooking

Cooking experiences teach numeracy by counting ingredients, and weighing and measuring quantities and volume, while managing these tasks supports independence and confidence.

Ella Language

Learning languages through Early Learning Languages Australia (ELLA) supports brain development and social skills and creates opportunities to celebrate cultural diversity.

Joy of Reading

Reading aloud to children each day inspires imagination and supports thinking. Books with rhythm, rhyme and word patterns make stories more playful and memorable.

Sustainability

From growing veggies and foraging in the garden for that day’s meal ingredients to learning about recycling, children learn about being part of a community, connecting to their environment and understanding their impact on the world.
