We are very pleased with the renovations to date. Our wonderful new roofs to our Bushbabies, Snugglepots & Gumnuts room look spectator with increased shading and shelter areas with are being very well utlised! The gumnuts room has also a brand new outdoor nappy change and toilets.

The front reception renovations are well underway with our new offices and conference room facilities and front reception looking amazing. We look forward to opening mid-March 2021.

We thank our families for their patience whilst these renovations occur.

Once the reception renovations are complete, we will commence with the new building development which will be our new Bilbies room for our 3 plus age group in addition to the extension of our bushbabies’ room to increase our common areas, cot rooms and outdoor nappy change & toileting facilities. We anticipate this to commence towards the end of March 2021 with expected completion in December 2021/January 2022.
