Guiding and Supporting Your Child Through Their Most Important Early Years

We all need guidance and support during the earliest, most important years of our children’s lives. At Cheeky Minions Daycare & Nursery, we believe every child deserves a strong start, one filled with care, curiosity, and joy.

Our nurturing environment encourages children to explore, play, and learn at their own pace while developing essential life and social skills. Through engaging activities, storytelling, outdoor play, and creativity, we help each child build confidence and a genuine love for learning that lasts a lifetime.

With experienced teachers, a safe space, and a community that values every child’s individuality, we’re here to make every moment in these early years count.

Founder & Head of School

As the Founder and Head of School, I believe every child deserves a safe, loving, and inspiring place to begin their learning journey. At Cheeky Minions, we create an environment where children feel valued, confident, and curious to explore the world around them.

With a caring team of educators, we nurture creativity, kindness, and early skills—helping each child grow at their own pace and build a strong foundation for lifelong learning.

Every child deserves a space to feel loved, learn freely, and grow with joy and confidence each day.
