About Gordon

A familiar route between station and centre.

Gordon sits on the T1 North Shore line, around 10 minutes from us by car. The drive in passes the heritage streets near Eryldene Cottage, follows Mona Vale Road, and arrives at the quiet residential streets of St Ives Chase.

If your child will go on to Gordon East Public School, Gordon West Public or Ravenswood School for Girls, we work closely with you on the move to school when the time comes.

What we offer is a big yard and a day spent outside as much as in.

Eight years ago, we sent our daughter here and she had a safe, joyful experience. We still chose to send our second child here years later. Director Tina is highly responsible, always responsive to parents' needs.

I have had experiences with 5 nurseries and pre-schools in three different countries over the past 5 years and St Ives Chase Kindergarten has been the best. The team brings such warmth, calm and enthusiasm to all of their activities.
