What the parents say
What the parents say
I’ve had my daughter at the day care for the past 2 years and highly recommend it to all parents. My child's experiences and mine have been absolutely incredible with the treatment from the staff. They are very experienced and very caring. I’m so impressed and extremely satisfied to the point my second child will also be going there. Thank you so much toddler ink for the great experience we’ve had.
Mandy Ajami
I am extremely happy to recommend Toddlers Ink. My son has been attending the last few months and the staff have put in so much effort to settle him in. As it is the first time that he has been away from me i was worried it would take him a long time to settle. With the patience of the educators and their genuine care for my son, he settled quickly and loves going each week. The staff are friendly, highly experienced and it is obvious that they love being educators. The atmosphere is positive and the children are always relaxed, happy and actively engaged in activities. The food always smells delicious and my son who is a very picky eater will always eat his meals at toddlers Ink.
Libby Rumsey
Such a beautiful environment for children. The staff are all very professional yet warm and caring. You can feel they genuinely care about your child. My daughter is always happy and has so much to tell me about all her experiences throughout the day. Plus the chef makes such good meals, I never have to worry about my daughter being hungry… it’s such a comforting feeling knowing that you can trust your child is in the best of care. Love Toddlers Ink.

It took me 2.5 years to be comfortable to leave my son with anyone as he has been with me and his father everyday since birth. So I knew putting him in daycare would be hard for us all. The educators and director were and are amazing, very re assuring and comforting, they not only cater to my son and The other kids every needs but also reassured me they would take good care of him. Since starting these my son’s speech ,phonics and numeracy skills developed so fast and learnt so much new stuff. The preschool program is amazing. The team is amazing. Highly recommend the centre and the staff is beyond amazing. Very happy I chose to place my son there.

Abir Nassrallah
Dropping my kids off to the most trusted people and place I know. I have tried other childcare before and this place is the best. I have had both kids go through since they were two and sad that this will be my last year! This place hands down was god sent.
Rhoda Chaalan
I’ve had two boys go through different childcare centres and I have to say my experience with toddlers ink with my 3rd child is without a doubt far outweighs the rest. The carers are amazing and will always give you and your child the time of day. I’ve popped in at various times unannounced and the kids are always chirpy and so invested in their different activities. My son has a speech pathologist who comes in weekly and she’s even praised how wonderful the centre and carers are. The centre is small but with my little one it was exactly what I was after. I did not want a large modernised centre in which my child would get lost in or overwhelmed. When you enter, you can see and feel the love and learning that takes place. Does not feel artificial or fake. Every incident that happens is reported, even a little scratch on the knee. Knowing that my son wants to come to childcare and is happy is all I could ask for.

Our Educators, staff and families have devised a Philosophy that is inclusive of the values and beliefs of offering an integrated service which include; care, education, health, safety, nutrition and wellbeing.We provide a warm, safe, caring and stimulating environment that meets the holistic needs of every child. Through observation and interactions we provide experiences that support every child’s development, unique interests and create opportunities for them to be confident and involved learners. Programs promote equality, inclusion and diversity whilst fostering all aspects of every child’s development; physically, intellectually, socially and emotionally.
We are committed to providing an environment for children that encourages a sense of identity, wellbeing, confidence, connection and opportunities to contribute to the world around them. At Toddlers Ink we endeavour to meet the needs of children’s natural curiosity through providing opportunities for children to experiment, take simple risks, discover, solve problems and find out about cause and effect for themselves, and the world around them. Each child has opportunities with guidance to develop self-discipline, take responsibility and achieve independence.

About the curriculum
About the curriculum
With different rooms for different age groups, the educators at Toddlers Ink Children’s Learning Centre Ashfield tailor the curriculum to the individual needs of the children. The curriculum includes a range of different activities and experiences designed to help the children reach each developmental milestone to the best of their ability. The educators set goals for the children across their social, emotional, cognitive and physical development and then provide challenging activities to help the children progress.
The preschool children also participate in a school readiness program. Developed by an Educator with a Bachelor of Teaching, the children participate in play, structured learning, interest based activities, experiments, projects and more. The educators work with the children to develop the skills they will need to step confidently into “big school”.

After lunch, the toddlers have a reptile incursion. Jake gets to pat a turtle and see a python. The toddlers have been learning about reptiles for a few weeks and Jake is so excited to see the animals in real life.
Afternoon
Before Jake goes home he does a painting activity with his friends. The educators have set up a reptile painting activity to extend their learning from the incursion earlier in the day. Jake is proud to show his painting to his parents when they pick him up in the afternoon.

I had a really hard time starting my son in childcare because I was so anxious and hesitant for so long and when I finally did, the educators were so wonderful and constantly reassuring and updating me, making sure I was comfortable and that my son was settling in well. I now have both my kids there and they feel like a second family to us now! Every single educator is so attentive, really care for our kids and nothing is overlooked. You can really tell they have a love for the kids and what they do and my children have the so much fun on the days they attend. All my anxieties are eased and the updates throughout the day on the app give me daily assurance that they’re being well looked after and happy. Thank you so much to the most beautiful team!

We absolutely love Toddlers Ink Ashfield and so happy with our decision to put our son in care here. Harrison has been attending Toddlers Ink for over 2 years now and in that time he has made amazing little friendships and gained a safe, caring, home like environment to attend. Drop offs are made so much easier due to the fantastic carers who work here where we always feel so welcomed. A big shout out to the centre director Gabby who goes above and beyond to make sure all our needs are met and to all the educators who provide our son with every opportunity to thrive. We will greatly miss Toddlers Ink once Harry starts school next year and I know he will too. Read more

Our daughters have been at Toddler’s Ink in Ashfield for 6 months, but it feels like a lot longer. The connections that our children have made in such a short time with the other kids and the educators are really special. Gabriella made them feel safe and welcome from the very first day and we went from having a toddler who cried on drop off at her last daycare every single day for 2 years without exception, to one that was begging to go to daycare, even on the weekends. We have felt like part of the family from day 1. Gabriella made the transition so easy, she is so organised, responsive, flexible and loves the kids like her own. The activities they do are amazing, they test all aspects of their learning and development. They are creative, fun and really varied. I honestly cannot fault this place. Every single educator has contributed to our experience, but especially Sarah, Sunita, Abir and Youjin. They love our kids, I can see it and feel it every day. AND for the cherry on top, the fees are so much lower than other centres in the area. 10/10 recommend! Read more
