About Creative Garden Early Learning Mount Annan

We are conveniently located for families in or commuting through Narellan Vale, Currans Hill, Smeaton Grange, Blairmount, and Blair Athol in Sydney.

We offer nurturing care and quality early education for children from 6 weeks to 6 years, with flexible hours (9, 10, 11, and 12-hour sessions) to suit busy families.

Our Learning Environments

Our children benefit from familiar faces as they grow, creating a sense of continuity:

  • Nursery (0-2 years): A safe, nurturing environment for babies to explore with tailored sensory and social experiences.
  • Toddler (2-3 years): Play-based learning encourages curiosity, confidence, and social skills.

We’re proud to have qualified teachers and educators, supported by a team of national education experts, ensuring the highest quality childcare and early education.

Innovative Early Learning Programs

Our teachers deliver the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF or the national curriculum) through play-based learning that covers language, literacy, numeracy, STEM, social, and emotional development. Our program also includes:

  • Rhythm and Movement for Self-Regulation (RAMSR), an evidence-based program developed by Queensland University of Technology to support children’s executive function and self-regulation.
  • Environmental and social sustainability learning experiences.
  • Personalised learning plans for each child.
  • Local school connections.

We focus on strong family partnerships through regular learning and development conversations with your child’s lead educator, learning showcases, and in-centre family events. Our Xplor app provides real-time updates and learning summaries daily to keep you informed on your child’s journey.

Hi my name is Sabrina, and I am the Centre Manager here at Creative Garden Mount Annan. I began my career in early childhood education in 2008, and I started at Creative Garden Early Learning Mount Annan in 2012.

I currently hold a Bachelor of Education and previously received a Diplomas in Children’s Services. I became centre manager in 2017 and supported my own service and the region and other services within the company. Being an educator within the service previously has taught me the importance of each educator, their value and their experience and what we can bring to each and every child daily.

I have always had a passion for children and education. I love teaching children how to grow and develop and be the best person they can be in their early years. It is amazing to see their milestones and watch their friendships form with their peers and educators.

Children are resilient to change within the world, the environment, and themselves. Every day, we can learn from them if we just stop and take in the moment. It is such a reward learning from them, being their educators, support, role model and friend. Working alongside them and with them is such a powerful thing.

I love watching, guiding and supporting children to grow and develop in their own unique ways. I have a strong passion for the creative arts and love to share this with the children. Seeing them engage with passion and a love for what they are working on demonstrates the ability that children have and the investigations skills they develop. They are truly inspiring.

There are many learning benefits of attending a dedicated early childhood education centre. Social and emotional development is the most important thing a child can learn at a young age. The early years of a child are the fundamental ages. Children learn best through play and engaging with other children and educators. They learn to engage, play and develop language skills to set them up for their next milestones in life and big school.

We have a long-standing team that are very passionate and dedicated educators. One of the educators has been here for 26 years, demonstrating the integrity that we show here at the service. We also have new trainees that we support in their new learning and within the industry, giving them the best chance to be the best educators they can be. The educators work well together, driving an educational program and experiences for the children.

We demonstrate to families that we build good relationships from the get-go. We offer a welcome email that gives families a chance to send their child’s likes and dislikes, allowing us to set the child/ren up for a great first day. We encourage families to call in as much as they would like throughout their first day/week, giving them that comfort to know that their little one is safe. We support families in any way we can by doing charity drives when and if we need to, allowing them to come into the services, share their special experiences with the children, and genuinely care for each family. Our services offer families a chance to feel like part of our Creative Garden family each and every day.

About the Curriculum

About the Curriculum

“Let the child be the scriptwriter, director and the actor in their own play” - Magda Gerber

Nursery Space: 6 weeks – 2 years

Learning starts from before birth, and our Educators have created a welcoming and nurturing nursery environment where each baby feels safe to explore and discover new things - through their senses, their communication and cues (body language, facial expression and sounds) and through experimentation. On any given day you can see the nursery children engaging in all types of play including sensory play, music time, story time and more. Every day provides a brand new, exciting adventure for our babies to support their development, learning and wellbeing.

Toddler Space: 2 - 3 years

Our teachers and educators encourage the children to learn through play to help enhance their sensory-motor development. This happens through carefully planned music, dance, games, role playing and reading experiences.

On any given day the Toddlers can be seen developing their numeracy by building a tower, sorting objects, pointing and identifying shapes and patterns and participating in counting songs and games.

Children in our toddler space are encouraged to participate in group play. Group play is important as it helps our toddlers develop important social skills such as, turn-taking, developing self-confidence and emotional self-regulation. Our skilled team helps children through talking, planning and role modelling.

Health and Nutrition

Health and Nutrition

Our centre chef prepares and cooks nutritious meals daily, catering to the unique dietary requirements of every child. We believe that by encouraging active participation (such as growing their own fruit and vegetables, preparing, and finally cooking!) children learn to appreciate and understand the importance of healthy eating across a wide variety of food.

Our centre offers seasonal whole food-based menus – created to delight the fussiest eaters.

Our family has been with this centre for over four years, and it’s the only daycare our children have ever attended. We have always had such a positive experience.<br><br>Both of my children absolutely love attending and are always excited to go each day, which says everything.<br><br>The educators genuinely care about the children and treat them with so much kindness, patience and respect. They build genuine relationships with the children and create such a warm, nurturing environment. They don’t just care for the children while they’re at daycare—they genuinely care about the families too. Recently, the manager even called to check on my daughter while she was unwell. It’s those little acts of kindness that really show how much they care.<br><br>The centre is always clean, welcoming and beautifully maintained. Communication with parents has been exceptional. I have always been contacted promptly about any incidents, even very minor bumps or falls where there wasn’t even a visible mark. That level of honesty and transparency gives me complete confidence that my children are safe and well cared for.<br><br>The app is updated regularly throughout the day, so I can see what my children have eaten, how they’ve slept, what they’ve been learning and the fun activities they’ve participated in. I also love seeing the photos and updates, which makes me feel connected to their day even while I’m at work.<br><br>The food is incredible! My children eat such a wide variety of healthy, nutritious meals at daycare, including so many fruits and vegetables and foods they would never usually eat at home. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing they’re eating such balanced meals every day.<br><br>The centre also provides so many wonderful learning opportunities. My children love helping to care for the vegetable garden and the chickens, and it’s lovely seeing them learn about where food comes from, caring for animals and taking responsibility in such a fun, hands-on way. These experiences are something really special and not something you find everywhere.<br><br>The resources, toys and learning environments are fantastic and always engaging. It’s clear the centre invests in providing high-quality experiences for the children.<br><br>After more than four years, I can honestly say I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this centre to any family looking for a caring, professional and trustworthy daycare. Thank you to the entire team for everything you do for our family. We are so grateful for the love, care and support you’ve shown our children over the years.

My son has attended Creative Garden Mount Annan full time since he was fifteen months old. I cannot speak highly enough for the care my son has received over the last three & a half years. The staff are kind, caring, trustworthy and supportive. My son has been thriving at Creative Garden and I would have no hesitation recommending the long daycare or preschool rooms.

We stumbled upon this daycare during our temporary stay at Mt Annan. Even though we moved suburbs, we have kept our son still in this daycare.<br>The educators are attentive, matured & care about a child’s manners, in addition to their growth.<br>We started with Echidnas room (2 years old), and are still happy (our kid is in 3-4 yrs old room).<br>Best part: our kid has learned to play independently, respects all cultures/ethnicities & has started to differentiate between good/bad stuff.<br>All thanks to Creative Garden Mt Annan.
