A Sydney childcare chain has been targeted with a second suspicious fire in four days.
Detectives are looking into whether a blaze at Play to Learn’s facility in Castle Hill in the early hours of Monday morning is linked to a fire at the company’s centre in Turramurra on Friday.
NSW Police said officers responded to reports of a fire on Excelsior Avenue, Castle Hill just after midnight on Monday.

“Officers attached to The Hills Police Area Command have established a crime scene and are investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident.”
It comes after emergency services responded to similar reports of a fire breaking out at the Play to Learn childcare centre in Turramurra on Friday.

Police last week said a small fire at the business on the Pacific Highway about 4:25am caused minor damage.
Police said a group of masked men were seen on CCTV entering the building, pouring and accelerant before setting it alight and fleeing last Friday.
The chain has a third centre in Toukley, on the Central Coast, which opened last year.
