My daughter was enrolled at this care service at 6 weeks of age in 2025. She has been consistently well supervised and cared for by the educators. She is now 15 months old and thoroughly enjoys attending. She is happy, settled, and has formed strong, trusting relationships with the educators.

We couldn't be happier with our experience at this daycare. The owner is incredibly caring, approachable, and genuinely invested in the wellbeing of every child. The educators are attentive, nurturing, and always make us feel confident that our daughter is in safe and loving hands. Communication is excellent—they keep us well informed and are always happy to answer any questions or discuss our daughter's day. It's clear that the staff truly care about the children and create a warm, welcoming, and supportive environment. We're so grateful to have found such a wonderful daycare and highly recommend it to any family looking for a place where their child will be cared for like family.

I would like to share that I have had a very positive experience with the centre. I love the child care, and the care provided to my child has been excellent. The staff are very friendly, caring, and genuinely invested in the children's wellbeing. I would especially like to thank Maya for all the effort she put into helping my daughter settle into child care. Her support, patience, and care made a big difference, and I truly appreciate it.

Our Services

The Best Early Childhood Education

Our educational programs are based on the Early Years Learning Framework, which focuses on Belonging, Being and Becoming. Our program is developed through children’s interests, strengths, family input, community links and intentional teaching. Each interest-based learning experience is planned to developmentally support and challenge the children within an environment that fosters each child’s self-worth.

Little Bunnies is an inclusive Centre that welcomes children with additional/special needs. Our Educators have experience in caring for children with physical disabilities and those requiring alternate feeding methods e.g. PEG feeds.

Babies

For the first few years of a baby’s life, everything in the world is new. Learning is a 24/7 process. They have to figure out how to move their bodies, how to manipulate objects, how to understand and use language, and more. That is why it is important to provide babies with the right support and a stimulating environment as early as possible.

Toddlers

Toddlers love to experiment with their ‘I will do this myself’ attitude. This is an important step in developing the confidence and independence that are key for becoming lifelong learners.
It is at the toddler stage that children are really starting to explore the world around them and their place in it. This means a lot of trial and error- taking what they are learning and putting it into practice.

Pre School

Preschool children learn best through a mix of open ended and structured play. At ages, 3-5 children are becoming readers, writers, counters and collaborators. The early skills they showed in complex concepts as toddlers and babies are now becoming more defined.
Children are gaining more independence and confidence, learning to cooperate and collaborate with others and experiment with creativity and imagination.

Our Activities


At Little Bunnies & Friends ELA in Merrylands, we incorporate yoga into our centre program. Yoga is beneficial to children in many ways. Children encounter emotional, social, and physical challenges or conflicts and yoga practice that includes breathing techniques, behavioural guidelines, and physical postures can be incredibly valuable for them. Yoga is something children can practice anywhere and the breathing, the concentration, the poses, and the way kids learn to act or react to situations, leads to constant self-discovery and inquisitiveness.

We have incorporated the NSW Dept of Education’s ELLA language app into our preschool program. Ella is a digital, play based language learning program, specifically developed for preschool children. This uses an app with a variety of different activities which are designed to engage children and encourage respect of diversity, develop social, thinking and digital skills. ELLA also helps to develop literacy and improve memory and concentration.

How the Early Years Learning Framework Supports Children

The Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) guides our approach to children’s learning, development, and wellbeing.

The framework recognises that children learn best when their interests, strengths, cultures, and experiences are valued and incorporated into their learning journey.

At Little Bunnies & Friends ELA, we use the EYLF to create meaningful learning experiences that encourage children to:

  • Develop confidence in their abilities
  • Communicate effectively with others
  • Build positive relationships
  • Explore and investigate their world
  • Think creatively and independently
  • Develop resilience and self-esteem


Our goal is to help every child become a confident, capable learner who feels supported and empowered to thrive.

Childcare Families Can Feel Confident About

Choosing childcare is about much more than finding supervision. Families want a place where children are genuinely cared for, meaningful relationships are formed, and learning happens naturally every day.

At Little Bunnies & Friends ELA, we provide a nurturing environment where children can grow through play, learning, and positive interactions with educators and peers.

We understand that every family is different, which is why we strive to build strong partnerships with parents and caregivers. Together, we support each child’s wellbeing, development, and happiness.

When families choose Little Bunnies & Friends, they become part of a caring community dedicated to helping children flourish.
