What the parents say

What the parents say
I would recommend West Ryde Long Day Care to any of my friends or family. My son previously attended a different day care and the comparison between the two is chalk and cheese, he is so much happier now. The staff are wonderfully responsive and interactive. They develop genuine relationships with the children and are easy, and even fun, to talk to.
The centre is well-equipped with dedicated rooms for different age groups and has a large, well-facilitated outdoor space with lots of activities for the children. The centre uses an app to keep the parents up-to-date and has an on-location chef who manages to get my son to eat whatever is put in front of him (even vegetables!).
If you’re after a family-feeling day care but with the facilities and activities of a large day care, I would recommend West Ryde Long Day Care.
Jessica - parent
West Ryde Long Day Care has provided a tremendously positive experience for our whole family. After a change in plan left me looking for a last minute spot, WRLDC were able to offer a spot to my 9 month old son and from the first day I was confident that he would be well cared for. I would strongly recommend this day care to anyone looking for a caring, fun, and personal environment for their child.
Misha - parent
My family is very happy that we chose West Ryde Long Day Care for our daughter. Thank you so much for the values and memories our daughter has gained during her time here. Special thanks to the “great Chef” of the centre. He has ignited the taste buds of our daughter that would be hard for me to match.
Himani - parent
I really cannot recommend this child care centre enough. I’ve been through a few childcare experiences, this being my third child, and it’s been the best decision I’ve ever made. It really does feel like a family, the educators are so amazing they care for the children like they are their own. The staff are all so amazing and always make you feel welcome and supported! My son is the happiest he’s ever been and I can truly say a massive part of that is from the awesome people he is surrounded by at West Ryde Long Day Care.

Centre philosophy

Centre philosophy
The centre aims to help children grow to their full potential in an environment that is supportive and nurturing.
Learning
Our play based curriculum embraces the concept of “Belonging, Being, and Becoming” (EYLF), a child initiated, adult facilitated program. We support children to learn through active exploration and interactions with their peers, educators, and the environment.
Partnerships
We strive for a culture of mutual trust and open communication with our families. We build strong connections with our wider community, in particular schools within our local area.
Environment
Our centre provides a calm, stable, welcoming environment. We have wide, open spaces that encourage the children to explore and discover on their own terms.
Community
We recognise that our community is a socially diverse and multicultural society. As a centre we recognise and value this diversity.
Sustainability
We take an active role as a community to do our part in caring for our environment and contributing to a sustainable future.

The educators aim to role model healthy eating and activity throughout the day to all children and families.
