Kids World Gilston
Kids World Gilston provides a safe caring environment incorporating many varied learning opportunities for the children in our centre. Our play based curriculum provides a dynamic environment, which encourages exploration, enquiries and creativity for your child. We provide children with natural places and spaces to play in an outdoor environment which leads to healthier, happy children.

Founded by Kerryn Warner in 1993, Kids World Gilston continues to be a family owned and operated centre that provides quality childcare in a rural environment for children aged six weeks to six years old. The centre is situated on approximately two acres of natural rural land which has been utilised fully to provide a unique environment for children rarely seen in Gold Coast child care centres.
Services
Our staff are friendly, professional and most of all well qualified to look after your precious children. The centre is broken up into sections with children of the related age group attending our enjoyable classrooms. Lead Educator: Lisa holds her Diploma in Children's Services and works Monday to Wednesday.
At Kids World Gilston our philosophy reflects the partnership between parents and staff providing a safe caring environment incorporating many varied learning opportunities for the children in our centre. We believe that childhood is a time of enjoyment, wonder and learning. Through their play, children make discoveries, construct knowledge and express themselves providing the foundations of learning for the future.
The Nurtured Heart Approach is a relationship-focused methodology founded strategically in The 3 Stands for helping children (and adults) build their Inner Wealth and use their intensity in successful ways. It has become a powerful way of awakening the inherent greatness in all children while facilitating parenting and classroom success.

I don’t give out too many of these but in this instance it is warranted. KW is probably the best kindy on the whole Gold Coast. Everything about it, the owner, director, the staff, the facility, the culture, all top shelf! A well oiled operation on beautiful grounds, directly next to the feeding school. Thanks so much guys, a part of our little ones lives that will be fondly remembered xx

Incredible caring staff, they go the extra mile such as helping you get your toddler when you have a sleeping baby in the car. They are very good at helping kids regulate and allowing them to feel. My son is always coming home tired, having played outside with no shoes on and a smile on his face!

My children love Gilston Kids World. They literally beg to go to Kindy to play and see their friends. They never did this with their old Kindy. I love pulling up in the car and watching them climb trees and run around in nature with their friends. Such an amazing place for our little ones.

The best nature based kindy/pre school on the coast! Teachers are so easy to speak to and everyone has been so lovely in the transition of a very clingy kid of mine .. so glad I chose them but I should have done it earlier. Amazing, you will not be disappointed

Our little one started in August and he has settled in so easily all thanks to the wonderful educators making him feel welcome and comfortable, they really are amazing. It’s an amazing centre and you can tell how much they all care for the children. Having no family support here in Australia this was the first time we have had to leave our son in… the care of anyone else and from the moment we viewed Kids World we felt instantly relaxed and trusted that they would take great care of him and they sure have. Each time we pick him up at the end of the day he has a smile on his face, and

Couldn’t have asked for a better group of educators to take care of my girls while I go off to work. Kids World is a beautiful little Kindy. They’ve created a wonderful, welcoming community. To have the owner Kerryn greet you and know all the children by name is just Amazing. Very convenient having it next door to the school too as the children form friendships before venturing off to start school together. Highly recommend.

The most amazing centre. They are like family. A village. Focused deeply on the happiness, growth and safety of children and their little hearts and souls. I adore this place and it was the BEST decision to put my children in their care when I have to work. 🤍

It is with such a heavy heart that we are moving away from the area, and our youngest child cannot see out her final years through at Kidsworld. Kidsworld Gilston have taught our kids the fundamentals needed, through love, caring and play. It truly has been a heartwarming experience. My kids have loved every minute, and have become excellent, clever, well skilled children from their teachings. This is definitely not a factory for looking after children, this is an environment of exploring with wonder & learning through play. Kidsworld has welcomed us into the family. They teach with love and understanding

I can’t recommend everyone at kids world enough! Maree, Kerryn and Jenny are so lovely and as soon as I stepped in the door I knew I had found the right place. The educators are some of the best around. They are so nurturing and genuinely care for the kids in their class. I love that they have a big focus on the outdoors and how to care and look after it.
My kids and I both love their classes and teachers. I only wish I had found Kids World earlier!
