About The Infants' Home Child & Family Services-Gorton House
Nestled within the lush, heritage-listed grounds of The Infants’ Home in Ashfield, Gorton House offers high-quality early education and care for children from birth to school age. One of three co-located centres on site, Gorton House provides a warm, inclusive, and stimulating environment where children can explore, learn, and grow through play and connection with nature.
As part of The Infants’ Home—a not-for-profit organisation championing children’s rights and social justice since 1874—Gorton House is committed to supporting every child to thrive. Our experienced and qualified educators design play-based learning programs tailored to each child’s interests and developmental needs.
We also offer integrated support for children with additional needs or experiencing vulnerabilities. Our team includes Speech Pathologists and Occupational Therapists who work alongside educators to deliver early intervention and specialist care within the centre.
In the year before school, all children participate in our comprehensive transition-to-school program, helping them build the confidence and skills they need for a successful start to formal education.
At Gorton House, we nurture each child’s development—cognitive, social, emotional, physical, and language—through curiosity-driven learning and meaningful relationships.

It is hard to articulate the gratitude I have for what a fabulous job the educators have done for my daughter over these past almost 4 years at the Infants Home. I still have the photos of her first day, she was so scared and so miserable - to see the little person she has become is truly extraordinary. The educators at the Infants Home have never stifled her flame, but allowed her to find her feet and be herself. The Infants' Home offered the children in their care every opportunity - from robotics to Soccerjoeys, dramatic reading to creating dramatic play areas following the children's interests, and for being their home away from home. The Infants Home has been a place I never thought twice about dropping my daughter off to, and an early learning centre I recommend to anyone and everyone.

We have been attending the Postnatal Movement classes with Hannah and they have been amazing! Such a nice way to ease back into exercise under Hannah’s guidance and to connect with local mums and bubs. Would definitely recommend!
Response from the owner5 months agoThank you very much Alison, for your lovely words! It has been a pleasure spending every Wednesday morning with you and Myles and we are so pleased you are enjoying the classes. Hope to see you back for more postnatal movement classes in 2025, and Babytime playgroup when it returns in Term 1! (Hannah)
