About Fern Gully Child Care Centre
Fern Gully is a unique early learning centre located near Baulkham Hills North Public School and just five minutes from Castle Towers, providing families with a true home away from home.
At Fern Gully, children and their families feel safe, secure, and supported. As families and educators build strong, trusting relationships, children naturally expand their sense of belonging from the family to the Fern Gully community. This nurturing environment encourages children to form meaningful connections, develop resilience, and grow in confidence.
Our educators embrace the principles of The Early Years Learning Framework, tailoring learning experiences to each child’s interests, strengths, family, and cultural background. Through play-based and inquiry-led learning, children are encouraged to develop essential dispositions such as curiosity, persistence, creativity, and cooperation. These qualities support every aspect of a child’s growth and development, fostering a lifelong love of learning.
Fern Gully recognises that young children have the right to play, relax, and participate in a wide range of cultural activities. We believe that learning is holistic and interconnected, valuing the importance of social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development equally. Our thoughtfully designed environments, both indoors and outdoors, inspire children to explore, discover, and create.
Conveniently located close to major amenities and schools, Fern Gully offers families a supportive, engaging, and welcoming space where children can thrive. Our centre is designed to be a home away from home, providing comfort, warmth, and a strong sense of community for every child and family who walks through our doors.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Fern Gully. From day one, the team has made our daughter feel welcome, safe and happy. We love that it’s a smaller centre where the staff truly know and care for each child individually. One of the things that drew us to Fern Gully was its beautiful natural setting – our daughter loves spending time outdoors with the chickens and guinea pigs, and there is so much outdoor play woven into their day. On top of that, they do so many fun and creative activities that help her learn and grow. The centre also goes above and beyond with special events like Christmas and Easter celebrations, creating such a wonderful sense of community. As parents, it can feel daunting leaving your child in someone else’s care, but we have never once questioned Fern Gully. We are so grateful to have found such a nurturing, caring environment for our daughter.

We also love creating a vibrant community through our special events. Your trust in us means the world, and we are grateful to have your family as part of our Fern Gully community 💛.

Our son has gone for the last 3 years and next year will be his last, as he will go off to kindy. I am so grateful for the exceptional care, wonderful staff and fabulous experience we have each week. Claire and the team run absolutely the best childcare facility in the hills area.
