About Horsley Kids Early Childhood Centre
Welcome to Horsley Kids Early Childhood Centre, located in the beautiful suburb of Horsley Park in western Sydney, Australia. Our centre is a point of interest for families from Penrith, Liverpool, Blacktown, Fairfield, and other nearby suburbs, who seek excellence in childcare and early years' education.
At Horsley Kids, we are dedicated to nurturing the wonders of a child's life and laying the foundations for living and learning. Our emergent curriculum allows learning activities to arise from each child's interests, actions, or recurring events, ensuring a personalized and engaging educational experience.
Conveniently situated just a two-minute drive from the M7 Freeway, Horsley Park Public Primary School, Marion Catholic Primary School (Our Lady of Victories Church and Parish), and Horsley Park local shops, our centre provides easy access for families in the area.
Inspired by various educational philosophies and theories, including the renowned Reggio Emilia approach, we view children as strong, capable, and resilient individuals. Each room at Horsley Kids is thoughtfully designed with vibrant colors, textures, and soothing sounds, creating a stimulating environment that encourages participation, discovery, exploration, and investigation.
Our qualified staff, who are passionate about early childhood education, utilize art as a language to represent ideas and express emotions. Regular activities such as drawing, painting, sculpture, music, dancing, dramatic play, and puppetry promote creative thinking and intelligence through imagination.
We follow the Australian Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), which emphasizes play-based learning and ensures that all children in our care experience quality teaching and learning. Our education program is a continual process of documenting, analyzing, planning, and evaluating each child's learning journey. We believe that children's lives are characterized by "Belonging, Being, and Becoming," and we strive to create a sense of belonging and foster their growth and development.
At Horsley Kids, we provide five nutritious and tasty meals throughout the day, following the Balanced Dietary Guidelines. Our menus are planned by a certified Dietician and include fresh fruits, vegetables, and organic foods whenever possible. We take pride in our commitment to providing exceptional care and education to all children.
In terms of quality, Horsley Kids has consistently exceeded expectations. In our first Accreditation in 2006, we achieved High Distinctions in all Seven Quality Areas, a feat that had not been accomplished by any other new centre in the assessor's seven years of assessment. We have proudly maintained this exceeding rating in subsequent assessments in 2009, 2013, and most recently in 2018.
We are also recognized by ACECQA (Australian Children's Education & Care Quality Authority) as Exceeding National Quality Standards, further affirming our commitment to providing the highest level of care and education to children.
To help parents make informed decisions about early childhood education and care, we are featured on StartingBlocks.gov.au, a family-friendly resource that provides valuable information.
The Horsley Kids Director, Phoebe Speranza, was interviewed by "The Australian" newspaper, highlighting our dedication to delivering exceptional early childhood education and care.
At Horsley Kids Early Childhood Centre, we strive to create a nurturing, inclusive, and stimulating environment where children can grow, learn, and develop a respect for others. Join our community and experience the exceptional care and education we provide to every child who walks through our doors.

Reviews of Horsley Kids Early Childhood Centre
"Cannot find a fault! Miss Phoebe, Alana, Dani, Mariam, Lily, Kayla are amazing. There time and dedication to the children are faultless. Always busy and something new to do and learn. Miss Marie makes amazing and delicious meals everyday. A definite go to Childcare. Wouldn’t recommend anywhere else. It’s a shame we moved 40mins away, I would have bought my youngest here in a heartbeat!"
"Horsley Kids is a centre that feels like home. It’s nice to be able to leave my girls knowing they are happy, safe and well looked after. Staff are friendly and always greet my girls with a warm welcoming smile! The centre provides a range of learning experiences and a balanced approach to meet a wide variety of needs. My girls have grown in self-confidence and love to come home and share their stories about what they’ve learnt, eaten or made. It’s comforting to know they are content..."
"My three children have absolutely loved attending Horsley Kids. I can’t speak highly enough of the staff’s dedication to the children. They are very friendly, approachable and meticulous in everything they do. My children had so much fun over the years they attended, as they made lifetime friends and learnt so much! It became our ‘second home’ for 7 years. We miss it dearly as we have very fond memories of Horsley Kids. It was a brilliant stepping stone for my children thanks to their school readiness program which is second to none. They were more than ready to start primary school once they graduated from Horsley Kids. Horsley Kids go over and above the standard expectations, so we felt comfortable from the very first moment we stepped foot in there. I have no hesitation in highly recommending this wonderful early childhood centre!"
"It’s been a delight working with Horsley Kids for the last 10 years. I have been involved in the development and updates to the menu alongside their chef. I write for the centre newsletter, conduct talks and also conduct an annual kitchen and food safety plan audit. I visited today, and as always the children are busily learning, playing, focused on individual projects. The atmosphere is calm and organised, the children clearly love and respect the educators and vice versa. Once again the kitchen was immaculate, organised and orderly. Marie knows each of the children’s dietary requirements inside out. Her passion for feeding the children of Horsley Kids well runs deep."
"My children have been going here since they were 6 months old and they are now 2 and 5 and I cant get out of the house quick enough because they love going to Horsley Kids. The staff are so wonderful to my children and I always know that they're in good hands. My son vocabulary has immensely improved over time all because the staff have dedicated their time with him."
