My child settled in so quickly at Toybox Early Learning and always comes home happy, full of stories, and excited to go back the next day. The centre is clean, well-organised, and the activities are educational. It gives us real peace of mind knowing our little one is in such a safe and nurturing environment. Highly recommend!

It never ceases to amaze me that educators have smiling faces at pick up and drop off. You can see the educators clearly care for your child. They also rotate learning and play areas frequently to reinvigorate the room and lean into activities the kids have expressed interest in.

Thank you Toybox for all these years giving love to our kids and making every day so special. We can see how our oldest has grown in confidence and enjoyed every moment at Jumping Jax. The pre school program and the weekly ‘show and tell’ activities have had a big impact on her confidence and ability to talk about a particular topic in front of her peers. We are happy to see how she is learning tools and getting ready for big school. Especially shout out to Rupa and Jen for her dedication and patience with our kids. Thank you toybox family

We’ve been with Toybox North Sydney for over three years, and after experiencing other daycares, this one truly stands out. The nurturing environment supports both emotional well-being and exceptional educational growth. Every staff member is dedicated, professional, and treats each child with genuine warmth. Communication is consistent and reassuring, keeping parents fully informed and involved. Their focus on safety, cleanliness, and age-appropriate learning activities is second to none. Every child is valued, and every team member deserves praise for their passion and commitment. We highly recommend Toybox North Sydney for anyone seeking a truly outstanding daycare experience.

Deciding the daycare that you chose to take your little one is a big deal… and let’s just say, they’re not all the same… We’ve had our little girl at Toybox for more than a year now and I can’t speak highly enough of the team. The level of expertise & tenure (more than 15 years for some there) and care taken, especially in the eldest room, is fantastic. The educators are approachable, including the centre manager. Even the meals prepared are thought through. The feedback and attention to development is also taken seriously. Oh and it’s right near the train station which is a bonus. Thanks team at Toybox NS

Our Rooms

Boutique and family-owned, North Sydney is an intentionally small centre caring for a maximum of 38 children. Every educator knows every family, and that continuity of care, built by the longest-standing team in North Sydney, creates a sense of belonging felt from day one.
Located directly opposite North Sydney Station, we exceed government minimums, because your child deserves more than the minimum. Toybox graduates leave confident, connected, and ready. A village caring for North Sydney families for over twenty years.

Our Programs

At Toybox, we believe life should be lived in full colour from birth right through to adulthood. With that perspective, we nurture every aspect of a child’s development through a research-backed, multi-disciplinary curriculum, supported by our nurturing and long-standing team.

Meet Rupa

With over 21 years in early childhood education and care, including 18 years as part of the Toybox family, I bring a deep commitment to high-quality care within a safe, inclusive environment where every child is valued.

As Centre Director, I hold myself to the highest standards of leadership and professional practice, with no compromise on child safety and wellbeing. I value building strong partnerships with families and leading a collaborative team that is passionate about delivering meaningful learning experiences for every child.

I hold a Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care and a Master's degree in Home Economics, and I am currently completing a Bachelor of Education. I have also undertaken additional training across child safety, leadership, compliance, and early childhood development.

Outside of work, I love spending time with my family, exploring new places, and chasing a good adrenaline rush. What I treasure most about Toybox is the sense of community, the real relationships we build with children and families, and the vision of our leadership that continues to inspire our team every day.
