Mud Puddles Cottage

Mud Puddles Cottage Emu Plains child care centre

Mud Puddles Cottage is a welcoming and friendly environment securely enclosed on a spacious 2100sqm block.

We cater for 90 children a day between the ages of 0 – 5yrs Monday to Friday (excluding public holidays) for 50 weeks of the year. Our long opening hours of 6:30am – 6:30pm mean you can confidently meet your work commitments while ensuring your child is in capable hands.

We recognise how critical the early years are for establishing a strong foundation for healthy development and future academic success. So, you can expect your child to be cared for within small groups of children their own age. We focus on providing your child with age appropriate experiences and opportunities that will allow them to grow into confident, accomplished learners—all while having bucket loads of fun along the way! Our extra activities, ‘Happy Feet’ and ‘Computer Gym’, are both designed and supported with enjoyable learning in mind.

We understand how important nourishment is for healthy development so breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea and a late snack are all provided, and water is available throughout the day.

Each play space is entirely shaded by fixed structures and offers your child the chance to run around, ride bikes, use the climbing frames, play in the houses and igloos, build sand castles, slide into the ball pool and get a little messy with some water fun!
