I wanted to take a moment to write this review because Rise and Shine Childcare truly stands out. The director (Jess) is absolutely amazing — so welcoming, respectful, and genuinely passionate about supporting children. As a therapist, I really appreciate how open she is to learning, asking thoughtful questions, and actively seeking ways to better support children with additional needs. Her eagerness to grow and provide more, especially for children with special needs, is truly admirable. The staff are equally wonderful. They are kind, understanding, cooperative, and very supportive, creating a warm and inclusive environment for all children. The childcare space itself is one of the best I have seen in Sydney. It is safe, secure, well-organised, and thoughtfully set up to support children’s development. It is a beautiful place for children to grow, learn, and feel comfortable — especially for children with autism or other additional needs. I highly recommend Rise and Shine Childcare to any family looking for a caring, inclusive, and high-quality early learning environment.

We have loved our experience with RSK. The educators are all really enthusiastic and caring. The range of activities provided is fantastic. The centre is well organised and always making changes to optimise performance.

My child has had such a great experience at Rise & Shine Haberfield over the past year. From the facilities to the excursions and the staff, the opportunities and care offered to my has been exceptional. The leadership team are vigilant and reassuring. Our little one is always happy to attend and particularly loves the excursions. Thank you Rise & Shine!

This centre is full of love and fun! staff are caring dedicated indivuals who have fun whilst educating. This centre is a newlypurpose built one and is a lovely family of caring staff , efficient and reliable who genuinely love their jobs!

What an exceptional childcare centre Rise and Shine Haberfield is! From the moment we brought our daughter here, we were greeted with a sense of calm, warmth, and endless fun. The staff are incredibly devoted and make us feel like part of the family every single day. Miss Amanda, the centre director, is the perfect fit for this amazing team. She is professional, knowledgeable, and always prioritises what’s best for the children. Her leadership and genuine care shine through in every aspect of the centre. There’s no better feeling than knowing that when I drop off my little one, she’s in the most nurturing, loving, and educational environment imaginable. The team truly goes above and beyond to ensure the children are happy and thriving. The activities are exciting and engaging, and the food is absolutely delicious (according to the number of serves eaten daily on the app)—everything about the centre feels thoughtfully designed with the children’s best interests at heart. Even after moving to a new area with plenty of childcare centres nearby, we never considered leaving Rise and Shine Haberfield. They’ve truly earned our loyalty, and they’ll be stuck with us for the next four years! Thank you, Rise and Shine Haberfield, for creating such a wonderful space for our daughter to learn, grow, and feel so loved!

Amazing centre with exceptional staff, especially in the preschool room! The educators go above and beyond with their care and dedication, creating a wonderful environment for children to thrive. Highly recommend!

A fantastic daycare with caring staff, great facilities - Amanda and the team go above and beyond and love what they do! We love our haberfield rise and shine Family!

We feel so lucky to have the Rise and Shine team as part of our village to look after our little boy. The team are so friendly and caring, facility is new and the programme has seen our little one thrive.

Couldn't be happier with Rise and Shine Haberfield! We moved our daughters (2 and 5 years old) to this centre recently and we are thoroughly impressed. Absolutely stunning centre with thoughtfully laid out rooms and excellent play areas/learning spaces. The staff have been wonderful and supportive of both girls and have made the transition pretty much seamless. They are both excited to go every day and the staff being prepared and relaxed with great breakfast selections ready every morning makes drop offs incredibly easy. Our 5 year old loves the STEM learning curriculum, the orbit hub and the field trips and our 2 year old that was previously very emotional at drop offs runs up the stairs to the room and waves us goodbye with a smile. Love your work everyone, thank you! Edit/update: We have been with Rise and Shine Haberfield for well over a year now and I wish I could give them more than 5 stars! The staff and the centre are not only flawless, they have raised the bar beyond what I could have imagined as possible for a service offering. We have been with six different centres, and not one of them even comes close to Rise and Shine. Here's a direct example At every other centre we have consistently had difficulty with paperwork and the childcare subsidy, often being left out of pocket waiting for a back payment. Not here. Rise and Shine are on point, paperwork perfect every time and we haven't had even one lapse in subsidy. In fact, here's how on point they are - I recently came in for pickup and the centre director Miss Amanda politely asked if we are claiming the 'start strong' subsidy. I hadn't heard of it so she pulled out a simple form for me, helped fill it in correctly and then scanned it to the admin team for lodgement. Never seen anyone make dealing with centrelink easy, love your work.
