Why Little Jungle? Finding the right childcare shouldn't feel like a compromise

Most parents searching for childcare share the same concerns — will my child settle in? Will the same familiar face be there next week? Are there hidden costs I haven't been told about yet?

At Little Jungle, we built a centre around those exact concerns. A purpose-built facility with dedicated rooms for each age group, a stable team we have never needed to supplement with agency or casual staff, and one all-inclusive daily fee with nothing hidden.

Purpose-built for every age group

Dedicated rooms for infants, toddlers and preschoolers, plus expansive outdoor areas built for exploration and active discovery.

Dedicated room for each age group

Your child settles in with familiar faces

Our team is stable and consistent. To date, we have not needed to rely on agency or casual staff — your child builds genuine bonds with the same familiar faces every day.

Stable educators & team

You may pay less than you think

Government subsidies can significantly reduce what your family pays. We'll walk you through exactly what you qualify for during your tour.

Federal Government

Child Care Subsidy (CCS)

Most working families receive a meaningful subsidy — some up to 90% off their fees. You don't need to be on a low income to qualify. CCS is applied directly to your fees, so you only ever pay the gap.

NSW Government — Additional Saving

Start Strong

An additional NSW government program on top of CCS for eligible 3 and 4+ year olds. In 2026, eligible families may receive up to $2,563 per year for children aged 4 and above, or up to $769 per year for 3-year-olds, depending on eligibility.

The 3-Day Guarantee

From January 2026, all CCS-eligible families are entitled to at least 72 hours of subsidised childcare per fortnight — regardless of work or study hours. Families may still need to pay a gap fee.

“We had a few tours at other centres, but they were not what we were looking for. Sharnie immediately made us feel welcome and at ease — she took the time to understand our child's needs and explained everything clearly.…”

Yes — absolutely. We are committed to inclusive care and work closely with a range of external specialists to support every child. This includes speech pathologists and the NSW Inclusion Agency, who provide guidance and resources to help us tailor our approach to each child's individual needs. Every child at Little Jungle deserves to feel safe, seen and supported — and we work hard to make sure that happens. If your child has additional needs, we encourage you to discuss this with us during your tour so we can plan together from day one.

Every educator at Little Jungle holds a current Working With Children Check and has completed National Child Protection Training. Our purpose-built facility has secure entry and authorised collection procedures, our educators practice active supervision, safe sleep routines and regular checks, child protection trained educators, clear illness, incident and emergency procedures, photos and videos managed through service-approved systems, and daily updates through OWNA so you're always fully informed about your child's day.
Of course — we genuinely encourage it. Seeing the rooms, meeting the team, and getting a feel for the environment makes all the difference. There's no obligation at all — just a warm welcome waiting for you.
