Welcome to Guppy's Forestdale!
At Guppy's Forestdale, we are dedicated to providing safe and accessible early learning and childcare programs that cater to the unique needs of children aged six weeks to school age.
Our commitment to sustainability and recycling is evident through our innovative garden beds, worm farms, and engaging play spaces featuring wooden forts and bridges. We empower children to actively participate in recycling and invent new ways to protect the environment.
We also collaborate with cultural leaders and representatives to incorporate diverse learning activities that foster understanding and appreciation of different cultures.
Conveniently located off Forestdale Drive, our centre offers a range of exciting activities, including arts and crafts, imaginative play, obstacle courses, sandpits, construction zones, and swim school. With nurturing staff and well-appointed rooms, we create a welcoming environment where children eagerly enter and wave goodbye to their families.

She settled very quick and always keeping us in the loop of she she is going. We enrolled her to another daycare close by to where we live and she couldn't settle so we returned her back to Guppys. We have to travel 2hrs daily, but we have peace of mind she feels safe, happy and in good hands. Staff is amazing and very involved in each and every kids. I would highly recommend them!!! Read more
