Baby care done gently

Where your baby is seen, soothed and safe.

Leaving your baby in someone else’s care is one of the hardest steps a parent takes. At Toddies our baby-only room for 3 to 12 months is built entirely around that trust: a quiet, unhurried space with plenty of arms to hold, rock and reassure your little one through the day.

We’re a registered baby care centre, family-run by owner and principal Hendrene Mintchev since 1999. Low adult-to-baby ratios mean every feed, nappy change and nap happens on your baby’s own schedule, not a rigid timetable, and you’ll get photos and updates so you never feel far away.

A day in our baby room

Gentle days, big growth.

Baby care at Toddies isn’t about lessons. It’s about following each baby’s rhythm and giving them the warmth, stimulation and rest they need.

Warm arrivals

Settling in with familiar faces, soft music and a cuddle to start the day calmly.

Bottles & feeds

Individual bottle and solids feeds, one-on-one, on your baby’s own schedule.

Sensory & tummy time

Treasure baskets, mirrors and floor play to build strength and spark the senses.

Songs & stories

Nursery rhymes, lullabies and gentle story-time to nurture early language.

Naps in a calm room

Quiet, dimmed rest time with lullabies whenever your baby is ready to sleep.

Daily hand-over

A full summary of feeds, naps and happy moments, plus photos, at pick-up.

Our baby & toddler rooms

From tiny newborn to first steps.

Your baby starts in our nurturing baby room and moves up as they grow, always with faces they know.

And as they grow…

Room to grow, right through to big school.

There’s no changing schools later. As your baby becomes a toddler and then a preschooler, they simply move up through our rooms to a full nursery school and Grade R journey.
