Welcome to Jen’s Baby Care Centre:

Where Every Child is Special

Houghton Nursery School is excited to announce the expansion to our family  – a ‘baby care centre’ for working parents who have babies and children [3months to 18 months]. Our doors will be open from the first term of schooling in January 2025 [15th January]

Arrangements can be made for parents wishing to commence earlier in January 2025.

We’re here to support working parents, and to accommodate your busy schedules, our front gate welcomes you from 07:00 AM to 5:30 PM.

Our Daycare 

Peace of Mind

We take your child’s well-being seriously. That’s why we use a dedicated cell phone and WhatsApp messaging for important or urgent matters, ensuring you’re always in the loop.

Flexible Hours

We understand that life can throw curveballs. If you need to pick up your baby early for a doctor’s appointment or therapy, simply make arrangements with our baby section staff. We’re here to make life easier for you.

Security & Accountability

Your child’s safety is paramount. We request that parents personally hand over their babies/toddlers to our staff and sign our register. Likewise, when it’s time to collect your baby, a staff member will personally hand them over to you. For added security, we must be informed if a designated adult is picking up your child, and we’ll need their ID and contact details.

Early Childhood Development with A Personal Touch

At Jen’s Baby Care Centre, we provide specialized care for babies from 3 months and up. Our dedicated teachers and minders ensure age-appropriate stimulation and learning through play. We understand the challenges of returning to work after having a baby and promise to care for your little one as if they were our own, giving you complete peace of mind.

No School Holidays

At Jen’s Baby Care Centre, we’re all about supporting working families. That’s why we operate year-round, with no interruptions for school holidays. We understand that business never stops, and neither do we.

Flexible Leave Policy

We’re here to support you, whether you’re planning a family getaway or just need a day off. If you choose to take leave from your workplace, we’ll pro-rata the cost for that period, ensuring you don’t pay for the days your child isn’t with us.

Monthly Updates

We believe in keeping you informed every step of the way. You’ll receive monthly updates on your child’s progress, including important details like the number of diapers changed, bottles consumed, and sleep patterns. It’s our way of keeping you connected to your little one’s daily “happenings.”

Daily Requirements & Communication

Our commitment to you includes daily communication through check-in sheets found in the message books you receive each day. To keep your baby comfortable, please ensure their bag contains the following items daily:

  • Nappies
  • Wet wipes
  • Creams
  • Spare clothes
  • Bottles
  • Milk/Formula**
  • Food**
  • Dummy (if used) on a clip
  • Bibs/spit cloths
  • Swaddling blanket
  • Hats (for sunny days)
  • Beanie (for colder weather)

Milk / Formula / Food Parents are requested to provide food for their children to eat or the formula for their bottles. Please make a note in the message books to inform us of meal preferences, quantities, and feeding times.

Sensory Development & Safe Exploration

We prioritize your baby’s development through carefully planned activities that cater to their individual needs. Our program integrates a variety of sensory experiences to stimulate their senses and promote overall growth. Our facility offers a safe, hygienic environment for your baby. During the day, we maintain rigorous hygiene standards, sanitizing hands and surfaces, and using disposable gloves during nappy changes.
