Our Clubhouse
A little place with a very big heart
Kiddies Clubhouse is a small, family-run daycare on Elizabeth Street in Annlin. We've stayed deliberately small — because children thrive when a teacher knows their name, their favourite song and exactly which cup is theirs.
Our approach is play-based and child-led. Children move between messy art, sensory tables, building corners and the garden, while teachers gently weave in the language, number and motor skills they'll carry with them into big school. Every class is named after one of the animals on our badge.
- Qualified, first-aid trained ECD practitioners in every classroom
- Small groups with a low teacher-to-child ratio
- Secure premises with controlled access
- Freshly prepared meals and snacks every day
Our classes
A class for every stage
From first wobbly steps to confident little school-starters — each group has its own room, its own rhythm and its own animal.
Busy Zebras
Toddlerhood in full swing. Water play, dough, climbing, first words and first friendships — plus gentle, patient potty training when they're ready.
Little Lions
The year of "but why?". Themed weeks, story projects, mark-making, counting games and our much-loved little vegetable garden.
Tall Giraffes
Our oldest group, getting ready for Grade R at big school. Pre-phonics, early numeracy, pencil grip, listening skills and the confidence to walk in smiling.
A day at the clubhouse
Predictable days, unpredictable fun
Children settle fastest when they know what's coming next. Here's the shape of an ordinary, wonderful day.
Doors open
Soft landings, quiet corners and a proper hello for every child at the gate.
Breakfast & ring
Porridge, then news, weather, songs and the day's big question on the mat.
Discovery time
Art, water, building and dress-up stations — children choose where to dive in.
Outside!
Bikes, sandpit, jungle gym and the shady lawn. Rain or shine (mostly shine).
Lunch & rest
A hot cooked meal, teeth brushed, then stories and a proper nap on own mattress.
Afternoon play
Snack, free play, puzzles and quiet reading until pick-up at 17:30.

Why parents choose us
The things that matter at 5pm
Safe & secure
Controlled access, fenced grounds and a strict authorised-collection list. Nobody leaves with anyone you haven't approved.
Small groups
We cap every class deliberately low. Fewer children per teacher means more lap time, more listening, and problems spotted early.
Real, hot meals
Breakfast, a cooked lunch and two snacks prepared fresh every day. Allergies and halaal requirements catered for — just tell us.
Qualified teachers
ECD-qualified practitioners, first-aid certified and police-cleared, with ongoing training. Most have been with us for years.
Genuinely warm
The bit you can't put in a brochure: children who run in, teachers who know every sibling's name, and a school that feels like home.
From our parents
Don't take our word for it
★★★★★My daughter cried on her first morning and cried on her last day — for completely opposite reasons. Three years here and she started Grade R confident and curious.
★★★★★You can tell the teachers actually enjoy the kids — that's not something you can fake. He runs in every morning without looking back.
★★★★★We moved from a much bigger school and the difference is night and day. It's small, it's warm, and my son is spoken to like a person.
Limited spaces
Come and see us — bring your little one
The best way to choose a daycare is to stand in it. Book a morning visit and meet the teachers while the classrooms are in full swing, or just give us a ring and we'll talk you through it.
