What we offer Denistone families

Denistone is a quieter, mostly residential suburb with limited childcare options of its own, and we're close by. Our director Corinne has been with us since 2007, and leads a team with many years of experience. And we take children from 6 weeks to 6 years, so siblings can attend together.

West Ryde and Meadowbank stations are both around 5 minutes' drive from Denistone. If you work in Macquarie Park or the city, you can drop off, walk to the station and take the train in. Pickup is the same trip in reverse.

The drive in

The usual route from Denistone is via Anthony Road, around 5 minutes by car.

Parking is on site at the centre.

Our 4 rooms, briefly

The centre runs 4 rooms by age band:

• Joeys for babies (0–2)
• Jungle for toddlers (2–3)
• Star for younger preschoolers (3–4)
• Rainbow for school-readiness (4–6)

Children move up as they grow, in the same building, often with the same friends. That continuity is built into the design of the centre.

What we include

The daily fee covers all daily meals (breakfast, morning tea, hot cooked lunch, afternoon tea, late snack), the education program, sunscreen, and disposable nappies for the Joeys and Jungle rooms. You pack a change of clothes, a sleep comforter if your child uses one, and a labelled water bottle.

At West Ryde, our cook Lorna prepares everything in our kitchen, with a 4-week rotating menu and full accommodation for allergies, intolerances, and cultural or religious dietary requirements. You never pack a lunchbox.

Hours and fees

7am to 6pm, Monday to Friday. 50 weeks a year, closed for public holidays and 2 weeks at Christmas. Daily fees are $180 (Joeys), $170 (Jungle), $165 (Star and Rainbow) before Child Care Subsidy.
