About Sydney Childcare – An Overview
Sydney Childcare is the trusted metropolitan division of Child Care Guide, a national network that helps families find early learning services, understand childcare options, and stay informed about government programs and subsidies.
This page explains what Sydney Childcare is, our purpose, and how we support both families and educators across Greater Sydney — from the CBD and Inner West to the Northern Beaches, Western Sydney and the Sutherland Shire.
Our platform connects parents with childcare centres, preschools, family day care services and outside school hours care (OSHC) across Sydney’s suburbs. By combining national resources with local insights, Sydney Childcare makes it simple for families to find quality care that fits their needs — while giving providers an effective platform to showcase their services.
About Sydney Childcare – Our Mission and Purpose
The mission of Sydney Childcare is to make reliable, transparent and up-to-date childcare information accessible to every Sydney family. We believe parents make better decisions when they have clear insight into what’s available locally — from long day care to family day care, preschool and after-school programs.
We aim to:
- Help parents compare and contact local childcare providers
- Give Sydney services a strong local advertising platform
- Share regional data and insights through the Sydney Childcare Statistics page
- Support the early learning sector with clear guides on subsidies, curriculum and regulations
By providing accurate, easy-to-use resources, Sydney Childcare supports both families seeking care and educators providing it.
About Sydney Childcare – How It Works
The Childcare in Sydney directory lists approved early learning services across Greater Sydney and nearby areas, including Parramatta, Penrith, Liverpool, Campbelltown, Ryde, Northern Beaches and the Eastern Suburbs.
Each upgraded listing on Sydney Childcare includes:
- Service name, contact details and location
- Operating hours and program information
- Current vacancies (where provided)
- Links to waitlists and tour bookings
- National Quality Standard (NQS) rating and service type
All services are listed at no cost initially. Providers can claim and manage their listing via a secure claim code, allowing them to update vacancies, highlight programs and improve their visibility to local families.
About Sydney Childcare – Part of the Child Care Guide Network
As part of the Child Care Guide national network, Sydney Childcare maintains the same editorial standards and SEO framework that ensure accuracy and consistency across all regional platforms.
