About Garfield Childcare

Garfield Childcare, Preschool & OOSH is a boutique family owned centre, serving the community since 2007. 

At Garfield, we are dedicated to providing a warm, nurturing, and educational environment for children to grow, learn, and thrive. Our experienced and caring team is committed to fostering creativity, curiosity, and social development, ensuring each child feels valued, safe, and inspired.

This centre comprises of five rooms, each specifically designed and resourced to suit the needs of different age groups from infants to pre-schoolers and also our OOSH building which features large, challenging outdoor play equipment for children over 6 years old. 

We offer a variety of programs designed to support the unique developmental needs of every child, from infants to preschoolers and above. With a focus on play-based learning, we encourage exploration, self-expression, and collaboration, laying the foundation for a lifetime of learning.

What makes us different? - Our service features classes with a smaller limit of children, this allows our educators to spend more time with your child to develop trusting and nurturing bonds. We value each individual child, and together with parents and caregivers we strive to create a collaborative approach to education, where open communication and mutual support are at the heart of every child's learning experience.

Our educators are here to stay! We have long standing educators that have been at the centre for up to 10 years, providing continuity of care for your child, and allowing them to feel a sense of belonging and quickly settle into the learning environment.

Our family would like to express our sincere gratitude to Garfield Child Care as we prepare to leave Sydney. Our son, Jaswith, started attending Garfield Child Care in 2025 before beginning public school. Initially, he attended only two days a week, but we quickly noticed remarkable progress in his learning, communication, confidence, and social skills. He enjoyed his time there so much that he wanted to attend every day—even on weekends! We are especially grateful to Miss Maryam and Miss Bhuvira, who took exceptional care of him during his early days at the centre. The positive impact they had on him is truly special. Even today, Jaswith still talks about Miss Maryam almost every day. After starting Kindergarten, Jaswith continued attending Garfield Child Care for after-school care twice a week and during school holiday programs, including the Easter vacation period. During this time, Miss Bhuvira and Miss Sarah continued to support, encourage, and guide him in every possible way. Their dedication and genuine care made a significant difference in his growth and happiness. A special thank you also goes to Chef Ms Sherwina. Jaswith developed a love for many of the meals prepared by her and became much more willing to try new foods. This helped him become more adventurous with food and made family outings much easier and more enjoyable. Finally, we would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Swarna. From arranging Jaswith's enrolment at short notice to accommodating additional daycare days and after-school care requirements, her support was outstanding. The kindness, flexibility, and professionalism she showed our family played a major role in making our son's first schooling experience in Australia such a positive and memorable one. Thank you to the entire Garfield Child Care team for creating such a caring, nurturing, and supportive environment. We will always be grateful for the love, care, and guidance you provided to Jaswith. We wish everyone at Garfield Child Care continued success and happiness in the years ahead.

We are incredibly grateful to Garfield Childcare for the care and support they have given to our child from just 9 months old through to 5 years old. A very special thank you to Ms. Fe, who has been such a wonderful childcare facilitator throughout the years. Her patience, kindness, genuine care, and attention made such a positive impact on our child’s development and confidence. What truly touched our hearts was how she also taught the other children to be kind, caring, and considerate. Even now that our child is already in Kindy, many of the children who were together at Garfield still continue to show kindness and care — which speaks volumes about the values and culture nurtured at the centre. We are also so thankful to Chef Sherwina, who always prepared food that was healthy, appealing, and exciting for the children. Her warm and friendly nature made every interaction special, and we are very thankful for the friendship and kindness she has shown our family over the years. To Ms. Swarna, thank you for always being considerate, dependable, responsible, and understanding. Your leadership and genuine care for both the children and families create such a welcoming and supportive environment. Garfield Childcare is truly filled with amazing people who genuinely care about the children. The environment is nurturing, supportive, and full of kindness. We feel very lucky to have been part of the Garfield community, and we highly recommend the centre to any family looking for a safe, caring, and loving place for their children. Thank you again to the entire Garfield Childcare team for being part of our child’s journey and growth. We will always be grateful.

We have had an incredible experience with this child care center. The care provided to our child has been exceptional, and we feel so lucky to have Veni and Sunita as educators. They are incredibly attentive, nurturing, and professional. It brings us such peace of mind knowing our child is in such capable and loving hands every day. Highly recommend.

Soooo thankful I found this childcare centre for my girl, she hadn't attended any sort of "daycare practice" throughout her little life. She was 4 and a couple months when she started, and all the teachers and kids welcomed her and made her feel so at home. I appreciate the time and effort all the teachers put into the kids individually, to learn what makes them tick, how to help progress in learning, how to safely regulate emotions, and so much more! I am a young mum too, so the apprehension I had towards trusting someone else to have a hand in raising my kid was a big thing and Garfield Childcare definitely surpassed my expectations and so thankful to the help they gave me on the sides with just being patient and willing to explain things so I understood completely was amazing. Couldn't recommend them enough!

A Truly Exceptional Daycare Centre. This is one of the best centres. From the very beginning, it felt like a second home for my daughter. She settled in so naturally that we never experienced a single day of hesitation or worry — a true testament to the nurturing environment the centre provides. The food has always been fantastic, with nutritious meals that my daughter genuinely enjoyed. It’s clear that a lot of thought and care goes into every aspect of the children’s wellbeing. A special mention must go to Miss Fe, an outstanding educator whose dedication to her students’ learning is truly inspiring. Her patience, passion, and commitment have played such a big role in my daughter’s growth from her early days right through to preschool. We feel incredibly grateful to have had her guidance during these important years. I couldn’t recommend this daycare more highly. It has given my daughter a joyful, safe, and enriching start — and for that, we are forever thankful.
