Guardian Childcare & Education Lilyfield (formerly Billy Kids) is located a short drive from the Sydney Inner-West suburbs of Leichhardt, Haberfield, Rozelle and Forest Lodge. The Child Care Centre is an excellent option for local families wanting high-quality childcare close to home or on the way to the CBD for work.

Our Childcare Centre is rated exceeding in the National Quality Standard and boasts a range of exciting, resource-rich environments. Childcare Lilyfield offers endless possibilities, starting in our three spacious outdoor spaces, complete with a water pump, a rock-climbing wall, hills and alfresco dining areas – children are encouraged to explore and learn.

Guardian Lilyfield offers quality care in a light-filled Centre that is both modern yet homely and is home to lots of native trees and bamboo, vegetable gardens and a range of age-specific studios where our programs come to life – including a leading Preschool Program for those aged from three and up. 

Eligible children who turn 4 years old on or before 31 July 2024 will receive up to $2,110 in additional subsidies. This fee support is on top of any Child Care Subsidy eligible families may be receiving. If your child is 3 years old and not yet 4 years old on, or before 31 July in 2024 and is enrolled at our Centre, you will receive up to $500 in fee relief. Ask us for more information when you visit our Centre. 

Centre Manager Danielle shares on our blog why she loves working with children and leading her team of Educators to make a real difference in the learning experiences of the children at guardian Lilyfield:

“What I get most excited about is that learning for children is an endless adventure and can be facilitated no matter the topic or idea. The possibilities can change, be questioned, be extended, or lead to something else entirely. No learning moment or experience is ever the same, and once scaffolded and nurtured by our Educators, it can be so meaningful.”

As a way to stay connected to families, families will have access to our family communication app StoryPark. Here, we will share with you any significant updates on your child’s day today, as well as any other important updates that happen in the Centre.

We value the role of families as a child’s first teacher and we’re committed to developing trusting relationships by listening and responding to families about all aspects of their child’s learning and development. So, our approach is focused on the latest research and insights into how children learn best, and the specific skills they will need to thrive.

With this in mind, we understand that families want to be connected to what their children are learning at Guardian Childcare Lilyfield (formerly Billy Kids Lilyfield). As part of our unique Visible Learning Program, families are able to track and keep up to date with the progress of their child’s learning via the Learning Exchange Display – found directly near the front of the Centre. Here, our Teachers and Educators will share with you any significant updates on your child’s development, your child’s education and provide the chance for you to share your own goals and visions – providing direct input into your child’s educational journey!  

Our on-site cooks prepare five nutritionally balanced meals using seasonal ingredients every day. To further explore food at the Centre, our Guardian Lilyfield Educators host hands-on cooking classes for the children to expand their understanding of good nutrition and to encourage them to try new foods.
