What Our Parents Say About Thumbelina!
Thumbelina is a child care centre in Edgecliff that has been educating children under Active Kids Group since 2010. Parents can expect to find only the highest quality equipment and facilities awaiting their children. Nestled in a quiet leafy neighbourhood in Edgecliff, our child care centre is located a short walking distance away from Edgecliff station and 5 ways in Paddington.
Parents love being a part of our centre and regularly express their gratitude through thoughtful letters. Take a long at a lovely letter we received recently from one our departing students:
âFrom day one Archie loved his time with your child care centres in Sydney. Watching your child grow and flourish, full or learning, curiosity and empathy is as wonderful as it is relieving… when we say you have changed a life for the better, that counts for three people.
As Covid started, Thumbelina day care remained resolute and steadfast. Always well planned, always calm, always with a laser focus on providing an environment for the kids, that made whatever was going on in the community almost melt away.
Thank you to Miss Rashi and Miss Nicole. It is the curse of what you do, that the little ones may never truly know the debt of gratitude they owe you. An oversight purely because they are so young, but the seeds you have planted at child care, will without a doubt, grow into wonderful specimens in the years to come.
Thank you all – for letting them grow, be curious, be cocky, be wrong, be upset, be frustrated and be confident at their child care centre. Thank you for the endless day care activities – always stretching their minds and challenging their comfort zones. Thank you for starting to show them the wonder of their world out there beyond their homes.â

Thumbelina is a child care centre in Edgecliff that has been educating children under Active Kids Group since 2010. Thumbelina has a strong community connection and ensures all families and their children feel safe and secure and have a sense of belonging throughout their Early Childhood journey.
This day care is divided over 3 levels and the children have designated areas for both indoor and outdoor play. We believe that incursions, excursions and extra-curricular activities are an integral part of educating the children and developing each childâs broader understanding of the world around them.
Our AKG learner’s at Thumbelina child care centre celebrated the end of this year with their fellow learners, educators and families. They had a picnic spread, face painting and an exciting visit from Santa!
Gianny, our service coordinator at Thumbelina had this to say: The children and their families are often with us for many years as two or more siblings will attend the day care centre. This means the parents are well known by all the staff and feel like a part of the Thumbelina Family, which makes these end of year celebrations even more important for our families.
