Willoughby City Council is pleased to announce that Heritage House Childcare & Early Learning was endorsed as the successful proponent to operate the Devonshire Street Childcare Centre at its Council Meeting on 22 July 2024. Council resolved to approve the granting of a lease for Devonshire Street Childcare Centre for the purpose of operating a Long Day Care service.
Founded in the lower north shore of Sydney, Heritage House has been proudly family-owned and operated for over 28 years, where they have been an integral part of the community. The Devonshire Street Childcare Centre has a dedicated team with a strong local reputation, and Heritage House appreciates that high-quality care for children comes from great educators. They look forward to a seamless integration with the existing team.
Heritage House recognises the importance of continuity of care and have assured Council that the care for all families currently enrolled will continue without disruption. Understanding the cost of living pressures faced by families, Heritage House has committed to maintaining the existing fee structure for the foreseeable future, adjusting fees only when absolutely necessary to provide certainty and stability for families.
Heritage House has a proud 28-year track record of supporting the growth and development of thousands of children across the north shore and north-western Sydney. Council look forward to them bringing this same level of excellence to the Devonshire Street Childcare Centre, fostering strong partnerships with families, team members, and the local community.
We acknowledge that families may have questions, and Heritage House looks forward to meeting with them soon.
Council is required to publicly notify residents of the intention to enter into a lease arrangement with Heritage House. Council is currently undertaking this process.
