Our creche team provides a caring and creative environment for the children of our customers and members. We offer creche services at Sutherland, Engadine, and Caringbah.
We cater for children aged 6 weeks - 6 years old. During school holidays, we accept children up to 10 years of age. Bookings are essential and can be made up to 24 hours in advance. Session duration is a maximum of 1.5 hours.
Our Statement of Commitment
Sutherland Shire Council’s leaders champion child safe values and embed them in our organisational governance across all levels of work practices, roles and responsibilities.
We have zero tolerance of child abuse, are committed to actively contributing to a child safe community and will treat seriously, all allegations and safety concerns, in line with our robust policies and procedures.
The best interests of children and young people and their protection from harm is paramount with all children and young people having the right to be safe while engaging in Council’s events, services, activities and programs.
Concerns about child safety raised by children, young people, their families or community members are listened to and acted upon as soon as reasonably practicable.
