Amazing daycare. Staff are so kind, caring and supportive. Different activities and themes each day and week. Could not recommend any higher.

The most wonderful centre! The educators are passionate, creative, and caring, and they consistently go above and beyond to create stimulating learning experiences each day. My son attended Gumnut Gardens for just over two years and truly thrived there. We couldn’t recommend them highly enough!

Amazing childcare centre! My children absolutely loved attending Gumnut Gardens. The kindest and most amazing educators at the centre with a great philosophy! Highly recommend to all parents. Had 2 children in for 4 years and couldn’t fault our experience. The Bush Kindy programs for the older children is amazing and brought so much joy. My children created an amazing bond to all their educators and so sad to age out of the centre.

We had such a wonderful experience at Gumnut Gardens last year. The educators are incredibly nurturing and kind, and they created such a warm, supportive environment for our daughter. She learnt so much during her time there. We’re so grateful for the care and attention she received and would highly recommend Gumnut Gardens to other families.

We have had our 2 boys through Gumnut gardens and couldn’t speak more highly of the experience. An amazing level of care and connection between the staff and the children. We could always tell through the kids interactions that they enjoyed it so much and had shoulders to lean on. Going to miss the community there!

Unfair Treatment by New Owner of gumnutgardens Paul of gumnut gardens, please don't plug your ears while stealing a bell. We are the former owners of Five Dock daycare. The new owner is refusing to let us collect our belongings, telling us we must: - Wait outside while they decide what to throw away, - Only take what they consider "useless." This is unacceptable– those items are ours, including: - Tools & equipment we paid for - Children’s records (confidential files) - Staff documents We’ve tried resolving this politely, but they won’t cooperate. Avoid this business if you value fairness. The issues you mentioned (bonds, staff payments, etc.) happened because the landlord Bruno illegally stole our bank guarantee and suddenly locked us out, leaving us with no funds to operate properly. This has nothing to do with you, yet you’re using it as an excuse to withhold our belongings unlawfully. As an experienced childcare operator, you should know better than to: 1. Steal another daycare’s property (including confidential files and equipment). 2. Refuse rightful owners access to their own items. 3. Break the law just because Bruno did. A warning for you: - Karma exists. Taking what isn’t yours brings bad energy—this is a terrible start for your business. - Parents will notice. If you act dishonestly now, how can they trust you with their children? Do the right thing: - Return our belongings immediately. - Stop hiding behind Bruno’s crimes. Or keep going—and see how long your business lasts, because Bruno is a character of bad luck. My personal plants, which I had nurtured for decades, were taken away from me without permission. These were my own private belongings, not part of any company property. Losing them feels like being robbed of years of care and memories.

We had two children at Gumnuts for almost four years. They were happy and well cared for. We felt a part of the community and it was relief to leave them in the care of people we trusted. Bush Kindy was a truly special experience and something we've not found replicated since moving out of state. We have tried two different long day cares and neither have compared to Gumnuts. The staff are caring and happy and make drop offs easy to face. We particularly loved that at drop off the kids were offered breakfast and invited to start the first activity with excitement which set them up for a positive start to the day. We miss Gumnuts so much! Paul and Sasha are wonderful!

My Daughter attended Gumnut Gardens for 2 years before school. It was such a wonderful space and environment for her to learn and grow before heading to big school. She especially loved the trips to Centennial Park every Thursday for Bush Kindy.

Both of my children attended Gumnuts from aged 1 until they went to school. It was such a beautiful and enriching environment for them with dedicated staff and wonderful programs.

We absolutely loved our experience at Gumnut Gardens. It was such a unique and caring environment, with its Bush Kindy program a real standout in the area. We found the staff to be incredibly professional, educated, caring, nurturing and dedicated to helping the children learn and grow. The physical environment was lovely - with lots of room to run around outside but a lovely homely, warm feeling inside. Our child thrived and made many wonderful friendships, some of which have survived into the school years. Sasha and Paul (the owners) are not part of a large organisation which allows them to show their passion and commitment to ensuring parents receive the best support for their children and excellent communication. I would highly recommend the Gumnut Gardens culture and staff!
