More Than Care. A Club of Their Own.

We know that for working parents, the day doesn’t always end at 3:00 PM. But transporting kids to off-site childcare can be a hassle. That’s why The Den Care Club comes to you.
We partner with local primary schools to run designated 2-hour sessions right on school grounds. Once the school bell rings, kids don't just want to be looked after—they want a club of their own. The Den provides an interactive space to decompress, collaborate through exciting team-building challenges, and hone their craft skills in a fun, supportive environment.

The Den is really fun. I like how good the snacks and the choice of fruit. I have made crafts and interacted with people that I don't usually interact with.
If I have to give a rating on the Den from 1 to 10; it is a 10!

Julene

My daughter is happy with the staff at the Den, especially, as she has had prior contact. She is a very loving and caring person and this has been recognised by others. She loves arts and crafts and the fact that this occurs at the Den is a plus. She gets to socialise with students from the other classes in her school. The Den has been a great support for me especially, with trying to have to balance work and family life.

My child Emily absolutely loves The Den Care Club. The staff are brilliant — caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in the children. There are so many fun and engaging activities for Emily to enjoy, and she’s always excited to tell me what she’s been playing and learning. The environment is very welcoming, and most importantly, Emily feels comfortable and happy there. I couldn’t ask for a better childcare setting. Thank you
