Family-owned and professionally run early learning centre, Lots of Hugs has been a loved member of this community for more than two decades. We welcome children between 0 to 5 years and strive towards a holistic approach to learning and child development.
In partnership with parents and the community, our experienced educators raise happy, curious, nurtured and well-rounded children who gain valuable life-skills and education. Our strengths-based approach allows us to identify what works for each child. When the time comes, each one walks out of our doors prepared to take on the world.
Our philosophy
We prepare children for a lifelong learning journey while maintaining rich relationships with parents and the community. Central to our philosophy are our core values of identity, respect, social relationships, expression, inquiry and independence. Positive role-modelling and self-directed experiences are encouraged to grow confident learners. Most importantly, we have a lot of fun as we learn and grow. Get in touch to see this philosophy at work.
Our curriculum
Child-centred and educator-framed, our early childhood centre curriculum includes exciting learning programmes that reflect and respond to your child’s unique needs. Our childcare programmes are not planned in advance; they emerge on a daily basis, building on your child’s interests. Everyday our children guide their own learning through play. It’s a lot of fun. Come in and watch.
A space for love & learning
The centre is thoughtfully designed to stimulate your child’s learning through exploration, curiosity and play. We’ve well-appointed spaces, from cosy nooks in the nursery to a more challenging environment that suits your toddler’s development needs and a preschool section that prepares your child for school.

Parent Feedback
My daughter has been attending Lots of Hugs for 18 months and I wouldn’t go anywhere else. The teachers are absolutely amazing and the creative activities they come up with on a daily basis are fantastic.
Absolutely brilliant ECE centre. Never ever had an issue. My four-year-old comes home with plenty of stories to share over the dinner table. They all are our second family. It’s a home away from home.
This childcare centre has gone above and beyond for my children so many times. I would recommend this place whole heartedly , a loving safe learning fun environment.
