A day at Sylvies

Real days from the last few weeks, not stock photography.

Cooking in the kitchen corner

Scooping, pouring and tasting. Fine motor skills that look like fun and produce morning tea.

Children planting flowers
Planting flowers for the bees

Excursions into the neighbourhood, hats on, in small supervised groups.

Educator playing with a child
The same educators, every day

The same team works in your child’s room each day, so they know your child and you know who to ask.

Straight answers

The things parents ask us on the phone

Choosing childcare for the first time is hard. Here is what we do about the four worries we hear most.

Educator with children
“I won’t know how their day went.”
A proper handover at pickup

Your child’s educators tell you how they ate, slept and played, and what they got up to that day.

“Will strangers be looking after my baby?”
The same educators in their room, every day

You will meet them on your tour. The team is led by centre manager Chantal Harvey.

“Is the centre secure?”
Locked entry and signed collection

Only people on your authorised list can collect your child, and every child is signed in and out each day.

“Can we afford five days?”
Fees published, meals and nappies included

From $150.50 for a 10 hour session, including all meals, nappies and excursions. We are CCS approved and will help you work out what you would actually pay.

What families say on Google

“My daughter has been attending the CBD in the nursery for the past 10 months and I literally could not fault them. I would recommend the CBD centre to all of my friends and family without hesitation.”

J.B. — nursery parent

“I had enrolled my toddler initially for 2 days but then to 5 days a week. This is the best day care in the city. The staff there are fantabulous.”
