Welcome to Snugglepotts Children's Centre!
Snugglepotts caters for ages between 3 months to 6 years. We are a registered long day care centre that provides care for local families. The centre incorporates a play-based program – a context for learning through which children organise and make sense of their social worlds, as they engage actively with people, objects and representations. (Early Childhood Curriculum for Australia).

Along with the existing educational programs in your children’s room, the centre also provides extra specialised programs from the community in the following areas:
- Hey Dee Ho – From relaxation and mindfulness to playing musical instruments to high-energy dances, hey dee ho’s programs engage and enhance children’s learning and fine motor development in a fun, play-based environment.
- Sports4Kinders – An exciting, energetic and enjoyable incursion aimed at developing children in all areas of development by exercising their mind (cognitive) and body (physical).
