1 / 2Shiny Star Play Centre
📍 North Strathfield, NSW
Indoor play centre in North Strathfield with multi-level equipment for ages 1.5–4 and basketball for older children. Praised for caring educators and structured after-school programs.
Another year has gone by and I can't thank Shiny Star educators enough for looking after my daughter. She is always happy to go to Shiny Star everyday after school and this give us parents peace of mind. We know already for a fact that our children are almost doing a "10 hour shift" at this age. Thank you miss Diane, miss Destiny, miss Sun, miss Rebecca and the whole team. The best part is that we know the time is also well spent. I would strongly recommend Shiny Star to anyone. Shiny Star is definitely by far the best in the region. Thank you so much!

“Truly excellent and kind teachers take good care of the children. My son has never once said he didn't want to go there. The children are satisfied, the program is excellent, and the teachers are so great. As a parent, I can send my child there without any worries. I am satisfied in every aspect of enjoyment, social activities, education, and care. Thank you so much.❤️”

“Thank you Shiny Star!! For the past 6 months I've been taking my 2 & 4 year old girls to Shiny Star for play group and they absolutely loved it. You can definitely feel that since under new management how much the place has changed which honestly is what won it for us, just to add the staff were very friendly and thumbs up to their customer service unlike other places I've been to!! Our mothers group will definitely be staying put and will recommend to all. ⭐️Thank U⭐️”

“I will admit that I was swayed by the other reviews on Google, and not keen on going here. However, having been, I was pleasantly surprised. While some elements of this play centre may seem run down or old on first impression, overall it was still good. There is a large range of multi-storey/level, multi-age, interactive equipment and even some interactive electronic equipment where kids can put balls into a machine that spits them out from the ceiling. The trampoline is also a fun inclusion. The larger of the softplay areas is suitable for ages 1½-4, and the smaller areas cater to younger toddlers and up. If your toddler/child can walk and climb, the whole centre is suitable. Older kids may have fun in the basketball area, or even on the larger softplay area. Parents can supervise from larger areas within the play areas, or from outside on the sidelines. There is plenty of seating, and a couch or two. There are gendered toilets and visible children's toilets with change table area. On weekdays it isn't very busy, and it's a very easy outing. If you're not keen on the food offered at the centre, there are plenty of good restaurants and cafés in the Bakehouse Quarter, within metres of the centre. Closest parking is opposite the centre, near the ALDI. Undercover parking is not too far away, in the middle of the Bakehouse Quarter. It's definitely worth a try. We will be going back again.”
