Question 1

Is there free childcare in Parramatta?

Accepted Answer

No childcare in Parramatta is completely free, but the 3 Day Guarantee from January 2026 ensures all eligible families receive Child Care Subsidy for at least 3 days per week, making childcare significantly more affordable. Your subsidy percentage depends on your family income, capped at $535,279. Depending on your income, you’ll still pay gap fees to your childcare provider.

Question 2

How much is full-time childcare in Parramatta?

Accepted Answer

At Kiddie Garden, daily rates range from $158 to $167 depending on your child’s age, before government subsidies. If your family income is under $85,279, you’ll receive a 90% subsidy on childcare fees, making your daily cost as low as $11 to $13 per day.
