Quality early childhood education and care in Bolwarra, New South Wales, Australia on Wonnarua Country.

About Us

Tiny Tadpoles- 0-1.5years
At Mother Goose Day Nursery our Tiny Tadpoles have access to individual cot rooms. This means your child is less likely to be disturbed during rest periods. Happy and alert, your child can then learn through play, with quality interactions from our dedicated and caring educators. While in care your child will learn through observation and interactions with other

children their own age. Our aim in our Tiny Tadpole room is to emulate your child's home routine and provide support for you as a parent in raising your child. The ratio of staff in our Tiny Tadpole rooms is 1:4 allowing our educators to provide the best care possible. Curious Koalas- 1.5-2.5years
In our Curious Koalas our children are starting to explore arts and craft, home corner, dancing and story time. The children are starting to form friendships and developing self help skills. We have lots of fun in the sandpit and water play, we water the garden and discover creepy crawlies that live in the garden too. The ration is 1:4 maintaining the best care possible. Leaping Frogs- 2-4 Years
Our Leaping Frogs are developing self-help skills and confidence in their own abilities. This helps build a positive self image. Our Leaping Frogs are also working towards the identification of colours, shapes, counting and pre-writing skills. Our Leaping Frogs are introduced to short group times which include music, story telling, and discussion. These group times are gradually increased as their attention spans lengthen. Our Leaping Frogs are guided during their development of role play, social skills and friendships. Our experienced educators will foster your child's skills in all developmental areas. Brilliant Bees- 4-6years
We run a school readiness program continuously throughout the year to give your child a head start when entering school. We explores concepts outlined in "Early Stage One NSW Board of Studies Syllabus". Concepts explored throughout the year will include colours, shapes, number recognition, letter recognition, grouping of objects, addition and subtraction, basic word recognition, personal name recognition, as well as listening and speaking skills required for school. Our qualified staff will complete an Individual Assessment of your child, to determine their readiness for school. Parents of gifted children should consider this program. We will stimulate and excite your child while they further develop the social skills that are vital for successful school entry. We do this through groups and free play and exploration, the best way for your child to learn is through hands on participation.

After almost two decades, Denise has made the decision to retire from Mother Goose.

As one of our founding educators, Denise has been part of the Mother Goose story since the very beginning. Over the years, she has cared for, encouraged and supported many children, becoming a familiar face to generations of Mother Goose families.

For nearly twenty years, Denise has been part of the everyday moments that matter most, building relationships with children and families and helping shape Mother Goose into the place it is today. Her loyalty and dedication have left a lasting contribution to our story.

While we are saddened to see this chapter come to an end, we are deeply grateful for everything Denise has given to Mother Goose. More than a colleague, Denise has long been part of the Goose family, and we wish her every happiness as she begins this next chapter.

Over the years we’ve shared so many wonderful memories with Denise, and we know many of our families have too. If a memory or message comes to mind, we’d love to hear it below as we celebrate Denise and all she has meant to the Mother Goose community.

We wish Denise all the very best. 🤍💐

Dear Mother Goose Families,

As we come to the close of another wonderful year at Mother Goose, we would like to extend our sincere thanks to you for your continued support and trust. It is truly a privilege to care for your children, and we are deeply grateful that you choose Mother Goose as part of your family’s journey.

This year has been one of growth and progress, and we are incredibly proud of the nurturing, inclusive and inspiring environment we continue to provide for our children. None of this would be possible without the strong partnership we share with our families and the trust you place in us each day.

We would also like to take this opportunity to acknowledge and thank our dedicated Mother Goose team for their outstanding commitment, passion and care. Their professionalism and genuine love for what they do ensures Mother Goose remains an exceptional service for your children to learn, grow and thrive.

As the holiday season approaches, we hope your Christmas is filled with love, laughter and special moments with family and friends. We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, and we look forward to welcoming you back in 2025 for another exciting year together.

With warm wishes,
Sharron Thomas

Our 2025 Christmas Party Picnic 🎄

Ms Claus even made a visit all the way from the North Pole, gifting each child a special book to enjoy. 📚

Thank you to all our families for joining us and sharing such a joyful afternoon. We look forward to finishing the year together and wish everyone a very Merry Christmas. ✨

“The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy” NAIDOC Week 2025

Last week, the children and educators at Mother Goose Day Nursery came together to celebrate the 50th anniversary of NAIDOC Week. Through music, art, storytelling and reflection, we explored this year’s theme and honoured the strength of Elders, the dreams of young people, and the enduring legacy of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures.
At Mother Goose, we believe in reconciliation through education, embedding respect, understanding, and acknowledgement into our everyday practice. From morning Acknowledgements of Country to exploring Aboriginal music, symbols and stories, NAIDOC Week offered meaningful opportunities to deepen our learning and connection to Wonnarua Land.
We are proud to walk alongside our future generation as they grow into thoughtful, respectful and culturally aware individuals.

A Mural with Meaning 👣📚🤝

Earlier this month, we had the honour of welcoming Kamilaroi artist Alliyah Bromell from Pearl Dream Painting to Mother Goose Day Nursery to complete this breathtaking mural.

Commissioned especially for Mother Goose, this piece is more than just a painting - it’s a powerful reflection of our community, our values, and the journey of every child and educator who is part of our story.

At the heart of the mural flows the Hunter River, surrounded by symbols of connection, belonging, and shared journeys. Kawal takes centre stage, with the handprints of our educators above its wings and our children’s below - a beautiful representation of guidance, growth, and the bond between those learning and those supporting them.

We worked closely with Alliyah throughout the creative process, and earlier this month, she joined us to complete the piece alongside our children and educators, making this a true collaboration of hands, hearts, and stories.

Thank you, Alliyah, for helping us bring the spirit of Mother Goose to life in such a meaningful and lasting way. 🤍
