Children at a day care centre in Sydney's west have escaped injury when a runaway car smashed through the building's entrance on Friday morning.

The 2023 red Toyota LandCruiser Prado ploughed through the walls and front door of Kids World Kindy in Guildford's Palmer Street around 10.15am.

But amazingly no-one inside the building or in the car was hurt in the incident.

Staff and children were evacuated out the badly-damaged building through a rear exit while emergency services tended to the female driver in the centre's car park.

Worried parents flocked to the centre to collect their kids in the wake of the accident but were relieved to find everyone had escaped unscathed.

'The kids are fine - they're all nice,' said one parent. 'They're all good.'
