My kids have been going to Guardian West Pennant Hills for the last 2 years and I couldn't be happier. The staff are warm and friendly and genuinely care about the children. They provide engaging activities for the kids to get involved in and adapt their teaching style to suit the needs of individual kids. The facility is clean and safe and has loads of different play stations for the kids to enjoy. There is an onsite chef that provides fresh and nutritious food. My kids have learnt so many skills during their time there - including both hard and soft skills. The centre is managed by Sneha who is always willing to help and approachable. Overall I would definitely recommend sending your child here!Meera

We feel so blessed to have such a lovely centre located right around the corner from our house. From the first phone call, with the amazing centre director Kate, to now a year later our family has felt so supported and truly cared for. Unlike some other centres where you can feel like one of many the tailored care that Kate and the team provide our son is second to none. We have a little boy that has really struggled to settle into drop offs. The work that Kate and the team has done with us, little by little, has had such a positive impact on both our son and this worry wart of a Mumma.We can not recommend Birdhouse West Pennant Hills strongly enough if you are considering a local centre we totally recommend joining the Birdhouse WPH family :)

With a range of exciting, resource-rich environments – including a recently renovated outdoor space – children are encouraged to explore and learn both indoors and out. The modern yet homely centre has vegetable gardens, an outdoor kitchen and a range of age-specific play and learning areas. It really is a home away from home for our children and families.

Embracing the local community space back of the Centre for exciting excursions. The older children enjoy kicking a ball around in this incredible outdoor space, whilst the babies often enjoy picnics on the grass.

The Teachers and Educators at Guardian West Pennant Hills provide wonderful learning programs for the children, including a leading Preschool Program for those preparing for the transition to primary school. In addition, we are proud to have a culturally diverse team who celebrate a variety of cultures and holidays throughout the year, organise a range of fundraising events for the children to be involved in. This extends the children’s knowledge of the world around them and gives them an understanding of the community in which they live.

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. 

Our on-site cook prepares nutritionally balanced meals every day in our Centre kitchen, which also hosts hands-on cooking classes where the children help prepare meals using herbs and vegetables grown and harvested from the Centre gardens. It’s a real playground to plate experience!

Sneha

"I aim to build a foundation of self-confidence. By encouraging children to be curious learners, I hope their love for learning developed now will continue to flourish throughout their lives”

Where children are supported to be brave, curious, and bold in their learning, for the best possible start to life.

Rhythm of the Day

With endless possibilities, there’s never a dull moment at Guardian and no two days are the same. Here’s what a day at Guardian might look like.

With endless possibilities, there’s never a dull moment and no two days are the same.

Handover time with children, families and our friendly Educators. There's a chance for conversation to share what's important for the day/what's happened the night before at home.

Breakfast time where families are welcome to stay and enjoy breakfast with the children.

As children are arriving and families are coming and going, there's an opportunity for play as well as family grouping, open-plan play and multi-age grouping.

There's an opportunity for children to come together and enjoy morning tea.

Following morning tea, the planned experiences continue. This includes both indoor and outdoor programs.

There's an opportunity for children to come together for lunch. With an open-door policy, families are able to join the centre for meals and excursion if they wish.

For children who want to, or need to, there's an opportunity to sleep, rest or relax. For children who don't need to rest, there are planned experiences, which are more likely to be outdoors.

Children come together for afternoon tea in small groups or with siblings (they can also rest and play together, too). This time also presents an opportunity to reflect on the day.

As families arrive to pick up children, there's an opportunity to speak to Educators and share information about the day.

Some centres offer early tea or light snack at the end of the day, which they can grab as they leave the centre. We’re mindful of how routines vary at home, so if throughout the day, we notice children look tired, food will be provided.

More about Guardian West Pennant Hills

Guardian Childcare & Education West Pennant Hills is a beautiful, recently renovated childcare centre in West Pennant Hills with a leafy outlook backing onto a nature reserve, large outdoor play area with play equipment, sandpit, and plenty of areas for art experiences. There are dedicated areas for each age group learn and explore, and our outdoor areas allows for children to enjoy activities in a natural setting. 

Inside the centre is a quiet and calming cot room for babies, kitchen facilities where nutritious meals are prepared daily, dedicated bathrooms and nappy changing facilities, and rest areas for all age groups. 

Our high ceilings create plenty of natural light within our centre, making us an open and welcoming space for children and families to come to every day. Children’s needs and interests are catered for as they are encouraged to explore and interact with each other, their environments and our educators. 

Our outdoor environment creates a natural space for children to play under the shade of a large tree and surrounded by a nature reserve, and our carpark is situated right in front of the centre, providing easy access for families to drop off and collect their children each day. 

Whether your child is six weeks or six years old, our Teachers and Educators are always observing – working to understand your child’s individual traits, likes and motivations. This means they’re better able to find what lights up each child’s curiosity and enthusiasm for learning. 

The first five years of your child’s life are incredibly important when it comes to social and emotional development, and setting them up with a love of learning that lasts a lifetime. That’s why at Guardian we’re focused on teaching children how to learn versus just ticking a box.    

With a focus on care and education, we’re here to help you get the absolute most out of your childcare experience. Read more about why you should choose Guardian Childcare and Education for your family. 

Our world-class curriculum is delivered by qualified teachers through exciting and engaging play-based experiences, including a leading Kindergarten Program for our older children. We combine this with the highest quality care, and communicate it all back to you so you can see how your child is growing and developing every day.  

Our Centres have rooms and Educators dedicated to each age group: BabyToddler and Kindergarten. Our enrolment options provide long day care hours to support families, combining the security of ongoing bookings with the flexibility to access casual care days when needed (if spaces are available in your Centre). Learn more about our unique approach to care and education. 

If you’re thinking of enrolling at Guardian West Pennant Hills, we’d encourage you to book a tour today. During your tour you will have the opportunity to meet our Centre Manager, Educators and have a really good look around the Centre while the team answer any questions you may have.

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.

Kindergarten/Preschool Program

Our specialist two-year kindergarten/preschool program is led by degree qualified Teachers in a long day care setting. Children explore and understand their world in an environment of safety and security. It’s where they develop the foundational literacy and numeracy skills to thrive.

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.

STEM

Children discover the wonders of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics through age-appropriate activities that are designed to foster curiosity and develop foundational skills like problem-solving and creativity.

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.
