Nature-led early learning,
for Shepparton families.

- Bush Kinder included.
- From 6 weeks of age through to school.

Why families stay
Educators who stay.
We’re a small, family-owned centre, and our team has tended to make us their home. Many of our educators have been here for years; several for over a decade.
The educators your child meets on their first day are the same ones waving them off to school years later. When people stay that long, they know your child properly. Not just their name, but how they think, what they find hard, what makes them light up.
Across the years
From bottles to backpacks.
Four programs across the years before school. Bush Kinder runs weekly for our kindergarten children.
Our signature program
Bush Kinder.
Mud on the elbows. Eucalyptus leaves underfoot. Bush Kinder is our weekly outdoor program on Yorta Yorta country, led by educators who love the bush as much as your kid will.
- Building cubbies from fallen branches
- Walking the bush, learning the names of the trees
- Digging, building, splashing. Outside most days.
- Quiet moments: birds overhead, wind in the gums, bark after rain

From our families
In their own words.

We couldn't be happier with this daycare centre. The educators are incredibly caring, patient, and genuinely invested in the children. You can see how much they love what they do, and it shows in the way they support and nurture each child. Our children are always welcomed with warmth, and it gives us real peace of mind knowing they're in such kind, capable hands.

This is an absolutely fantastic centre. This is our 2nd year with Guthrie St and our boys have been attending daycare, 3-year old kinder and 4-year-old kinder through this centre. I cannot fault the service. We have been welcomed into Guthrie St like family. I know undoubtedly our boys are being looked after with all the care, respect and love they deserve while they are learning and growing in new and big ways. Our boys have come out of their shells and are engaging so much more with everyone around them. They love going so much that they ask if we are going to daycare/kinder almost every time we get ready and go out in the car, and every day we leave the carpark they say "bye daycare, see you tomorrow!" Could not more highly recommend Guthrie St.

My daughter started at 6 months old and loves going there especially seeing the other children she has met who are now her friends and seeing the educators she loves it and always comes home happy.

We have had such a wonderful experience at Guthrie Street Childcare Centre. My son has struggled with separation anxiety and being in larger groups, as well as delays in his speech. Since moving to Guthrie Street, the change in him has been incredible. His confidence has grown so much and his speech has improved significantly. The smaller centre environment has been absolutely perfect for him — it's helped him feel safe, supported and more comfortable socialising with other children. Every single staff member has been amazing and genuinely caring. They feel like an extension of our family, and I always know my son is loved and well looked after when he's there. I am so grateful for everything they do and couldn't recommend Guthrie Street highly enough.

This is the best daycare/kindergarten I have ever been to. Staff are patient, polite, and they treat you like family.

We have been attending Guthrie St Childcare for the past 3 years and have been absolutely thrilled with the experience we have had. The staff create such a warm, welcoming space and go above and beyond to ensure our children feel safe and nurtured. I have been so incredibly impressed with the learning and experiences that have been happening in the 3 Year Old Kinder room this year and it has helped our son to learn and grow beyond our expectations. My family and I couldn't recommend this centre more highly. We have just had the best experience.
