Our Approach
At Simbas Childcare, we understand the absolute importance of providing quality care and education for your little one.
We strive to provide a home from home for your child, while delivering a quality curriculum, suited to each child's individual needs.
At Simbas you can be assured that your child is in the care of professional early years staff where they are encouraged to reach their full potential!

What Parents Think
“Both my children have loved Simbas. My son is in primary school now and still talks about it. Our daughter had hearing problems and had to get grommets, which meant she was a bit behind with her speech. Everyone at Simbas helped her catch up and she's very talkative now and full of confidence. All the teachers are amazing. I can't recommend Simbas enough!"
Beren & Nala's Dad


The weather has been full of surprises lately—rain, wind, and storms! But the children at Simbas have been busy exploring the weather.
We’ve been singing weather songs, making lots of art, learning about letters and working out sorting & sensory activities.
Every day is a new adventure, no matter what the weather brings! ☔

This week, the children in Simbas learned about the spirit of Thanksgiving with:
🎭 Role Play- Acting out a very important (and tasty) Thanksgiving meal
🌽 Tuff Trays - Sensory fun with themed activities!
🎨 Crafts - Tiny hands creating big memories with turkeys, leaves, and more!
Through play and creativity, we’re learning about kindness, sharing, and all the things we’re thankful for. 🍂❤️

Did you know tray activity promotes independence, fine motor skills and sensory exploration. Children use hand-eye coordination to sort and pour as well as sensory exploration with different textures, smells, colours and taste.
