Gumnut Gardens Early Learning and Long Day Care Centre overview

Welcome to Gumnut Gardens Early Learning and Long Day Care Centre

Welcome to Gumnut Gardens, a privately owned early childhood centre located near the Paddington Gates of Centennial Park. Set in a charming 1920s home, our centre offers a calm, welcoming, and nurturing environment for children to grow and thrive.

Sustainability is a core part of our philosophy, and we embed eco-conscious practices into our daily routines and learning experiences. We cultivate respect—for each other, for our resources, for the natural world, and for the Traditional Custodians of this land, the Indigenous peoples of Australia.

We are proud to have a qualified chef who prepares fresh, nutritious meals on site each day, filling the air with the comforting aromas of home-cooked food.

Our centre features a leafy outdoor environment where children can explore, play, and help grow their own food. A majestic ancient tree in our garden houses a large treehouse, sparking imagination and adventure. We’re currently expanding our programme to include regular excursions into the local community, further connecting children to the world around them.

Our team of passionate educators—including experienced Early Childhood Teachers—believe children learn best through play. Guided by curiosity and supported through thoughtful interactions, children are encouraged to wonder, explore, and grow. We draw inspiration from Reggio Emilia, Bush School philosophies, and Rudolf Steiner’s holistic approach, weaving these into our evolving educational vision.

Children’s learning is captured through stories, observations, photos, and daily updates, shared with families via Storypark—our secure, web-based platform.

At Gumnut Gardens, we are more than a centre—we are a close-knit, joyful community. We would love to welcome you and your child into our Gumnut family.
