About Blue Gum Cottage Children's Centre

Welcome to Blue Gum Cottage Children’s Centre!

Blue Gum Cottage Children’s Centre offers a cosy and homelike environment based on respect and valuing every child’s voice. Catering to children aged 6 weeks to 5 years, the community based centre fosters strong relationships with the families so they can best support every child to thrive. The educators take a holistic approach to ensure each child develops important intellectual, emotional, physical and social skills.

The spacious outdoor play area is filled with bright and colourful equipment to engage the children as they play. The area is covered with a large shade sail to allow for all weather play. The age-appropriate space challenges the children to develop their gross motor skills as they learn about nature and connecting with their peers. 

Indoors, the learning spaces are well-equipped to cater to different learning styles and activities. The children can paint, draw, play and participate in cooking classes as well as a range of other activities designed to meet the individual needs of the children. 

Located directly opposite Dr Walter Park in Chifley, the centre is just a short walk from Anzac Parade bus stops with street parking also available. Why not book a tour of this homelike and nurturing centre today?

    I can’t recommend Blue Gum highly enough. The educators are genuinely caring, dedicated, and nurturing, which gives us complete peace of mind knowing our children are in safe and supportive hands. The centre offers a fantastic variety of incursions and excursions that the kids absolutely love, along with thoughtful community engagement activities that teach them the value of giving back. It’s wonderful to see these meaningful experiences being built into their early education. The fees are fair and inclusive of essentials like food and nappies, which adds great value. Communication is also a real strength at Blue Gum—management is approachable, responsive, and always open to feedback from families. Blue Gum truly feels like a home away from home. It’s a special place where children are not only well cared for but also genuinely loved and encouraged to grow.

    Blue Gum is and has been a special part of our family for 7 years. My three boys have been lucky enough to be apart of Blue gum. Blue Gum is Such a warm and welcoming environment and staff are genuinely invested in the children. There are many long term staff that makes it extra special and leaves you feeling that you and your children are in a safe, comfortable and Happy environment. Strong communication is something that Blue gum does well. It is a non for profit organisation with the most amazing dedicated people, I highly encourage you to join and become apart of this amazing Family.
