Welcome to Sparrow
Our passionate educators provide a safe and engaging environment that inspires curiosity and exploration. We value partnerships with families and work together to tailor programs to each child’s interests and needs, where parents are welcome to observe at any time.
Located in the Waterford Rise estate, with plenty of parking and close to playing fields and parklands, our centre encourages children to thrive through play and hands-on learning and enjoy our large recreational playgrounds, fully accredited Government Kindergarten program and before & after school care.

My name is Stacey I am the Service manager at Waterford Rise. I have been in the childcare industry for over 20 years. I have worked my way up from educator, room leader, educational leader, 2IC and now Service manager. I have learnt so much over my years in childcare. The children and my team are a big part of that learning.
I have been very lucky to have loved my job and to form the most precious friendships with the children and families and to have so many wonderful memories.
