Welcome to the Lilybelle family
Big-hearted care,
in a little community.
We believe the best early learning starts with feeling safe, seen and at home.
Lilybelle is an owner-operated early education centre in Dural, welcoming children from 6 weeks to 6 years. With just 28 places, our days feel personal: children can build trusting relationships, and families are part of the conversation.
We see children as capable, curious individuals. Through spontaneous, hands-on play, they discover, create, explore, solve problems and grow at their own pace.
Meet the people behind the careFamily is a cornerstone of our community. We build open, collaborative partnerships with the people who know each child best.

Wonderful centre. My daughter attended from just 5 months old until she began school. The care and support she received helped her develop confidence, kindness, and patience. I’m incredibly grateful to the Lilybelle staff for the role they played in helping her grow into the kind, funny, and confident child she is today. Highly recommend

My son has been attending Lilybelle since he was one year old (he’s now four), and we’ve had a wonderful experience. The educators have always been incredibly caring and supportive, nurturing his development and giving him the attention he needs to grow and thrive. The team is always approachable and takes the time to explain how his day went and how he is progressing. It’s clear they genuinely care about the children and are passionate about what they do. We’re so grateful that our son spent his early years at Lilybelle. Thank you to the whole team for creating such a warm and supportive environment!

I could not be happier with Lilybelle Early Education. It is by far the best daycare I have ever come across. The teachers are the most attentive, nurturing and comforting educators and my boys are so happy to attend. It's going to be so heartbreaking when my eldest leaves for big school! Thank you to Vanessa and the team at Lilybelle for fostering the most caring and loving environment and helping us parents feel comfortable leaving our little ones in your care! :)

My daughter has been attending this center since she was one, and I couldn't be happier. After moving to the area, I was looking for a smaller, child-focused environment where she could truly thrive while I returned to work. We found exactly that here. The team has been instrumental in helping us settle into our new routine after such a big life change. She absolutely adores her educators, and I do too. I highly recommend them to any parent.

We are very happy with this childcare centre. The staff are very stable and all the educators are very nice, patient and caring with the children. My little baby settled in very quickly after starting, which made us feel very relieved.
