Community Partnerships

At Golden Seeds, we believe in the power of community partnerships.

Through collaborative efforts, we create enriching environments where children thrive.

By engaging parents, caregivers, local businesses, and educators, we foster a holistic approach to early childhood development and enhance the implementation of early years learning frameworks. Our curriculum at Golden Seeds provides children with opportunity to engage with different members of our community to foster a lifetime of learning, curiosity, and success.

Menu/Nutrition

At Golden Seeds Early Learning, we believe in the importance of providing nutritious meals that support the health and well-being of growing children. Our dedicated chefs carefully plan and prepare meals that are not only delicious but also balanced and nourishing.

We understand that each child is unique, with their own dietary needs and preferences. That’s why we offer a variety of wholesome foods and accommodate special dietary requirements, including allergies and cultural considerations. Our menus are thoughtfully crafted to include a diverse selection of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and dairy products, ensuring that children receive the essential nutrients they need to thrive.

In addition to serving nutritious meals, we prioritise teaching children about the importance of healthy eating habits. Through engaging activities and discussions, we encourage children to explore new foods, make mindful choices, and develop a positive relationship with food.

Vicky Hayes

Centre Director

My name is Vicky Hayes and I’m the Centre Director at Golden Seeds North Narrabeen. My love of working with children started when I was in high school in 2004 as an After School Care Assistant at a local primary school. This then blossomed into a full time traineeship at my local childcare centre where they kept me on to complete my Diploma in Children’s Services and assisted me to flourish in all roles of the sector. Over the past 20 years, my passion for shaping little people’s minds and supporting their wellbeing has grown, especially when I’m able to collaborate and share my interests of musical theatre with the children, and build and develop learning relationships based on their interests, family goals and community culture. I look forward to meeting you at Golden Seeds and creating a fun, safe and nurturing space for your child, simulating a home away from home.

Parents Testimonials

We are so happy we moved our girls to Golden Seeds! We were hesitant at first because it was a new centre and they were coming from a very reputable centre but we were so impressed when we did a tour with the Director! Jill & the team are caring, positive & nurturing. We knew our girls would be looked after! Love all the facilities in each room, especially the preschool room!

Golden seeds have been a godsend. My son has thrived and thoroughly enjoyed his year here with all the wonderful staff. Michelle Jeff Vicki we love you and will miss you. Best daycare ever. Highly recommended!

I can’t speak highly enough about all the staff at Golden Seeds. Michelle, Marieke and Dalvie are all amazing with our daughter in the baby room. If I could give them 6 stars I would!

We've been thrilled with the whole team of Golden Seeds carlingford. My son has settled in so quickly and we feel like we've been part of the Golden Seeds family for much longer than 6 months. The educators make him feel so welcome and included and I love that they all know me and him by name. We honestly love it here and would never dream of anywhere else.

My girls always come home so happy each day and I love that the Teachers take great interest in teaching them new learning experiences each day to grow, learn & develop. It's great to see that they take parents' feedback onboard and are focused on ensuring our little ones are always looked after.

This is the third childcare centre my child attends in the Carlingford/Epping area, and the only one where the management and educators really show they care. Open communications and plenty of updates and photos throughout the day. Lots of learning opportunities and useful activities for children.

Best team ever! From Day 1, my daughter was still a super shy girl who has to hold her little monkey toy all the time, till now she turned out to be a confident and outgoing girl. Can't express how grateful I am. They truly taught her how to be loving and caring, I just feel so blessed to have such great educators for my daughter.
