In the heart of Mackay, nestled on Level 1 of Canelands Shopping Centre, parents have discovered a haven where their little ones can play, explore, and unleash their boundless energy. Say hello to Cheeky Little Monkeys Play Centre, the ultimate destination for children under 5.
This fully enclosed, safe play space has become a cherished haven for parents seeking a respite from the hustle and bustle of daily life. From as little as $6 for under-1s and $10 for 1-5-year-olds, parents can sit back and relax in the seated area while their tiny tots embark on grand adventures amid fun equipment and soft mats. Additional children over 1 are only $8. One of the most delightful aspects of Cheeky Little Monkeys is that it offers unlimited playtime. This accessible pricing makes it a go-to destination for families seeking quality entertainment without breaking the bank.
The entire play centre is cleaned regularly, ensuring a hygienic environment, and it's perpetually supervised by attentive child minders. Here, every safety measure is in place to offer parents peace of mind.
One of the main attractions at Cheeky Little Monkeys is the big ball pit, where kids can immerse themselves in a world of colourful balls, laughter, and endless fun. While the little ones literally have a ball, parents can treat themselves to a comforting coffee and put their feet up, all within arm's reach of the play area.
But Cheeky Little Monkeys goes beyond just playtime. If parents need some uninterrupted hours to run errands or do their shopping, the play centre offers four creche spots per hour for an hourly child-minding fee. During this time, experienced staff members take care of your child, while you enjoy some guilt-free shopping and dining within the shopping centre.
For those looking to celebrate a special occasion, Cheeky Little Monkeys can be exclusively booked for birthday parties. Imagine a stress-free birthday celebration where children play in a secure, immaculate environment, while adults either join in the festivities or simply relax and watch the magic unfold.
Mackay Life Editor, Amanda Wright, attests to the invaluable nature of Cheeky Little Monkeys' creche services.
"Finding daycare in Mackay is exceptionally challenging," Amanda remarked.
"When I need a few hours to meet with clients or conduct interviews, I schedule them into a two or three-hour block at Canelands. This allows me to get essential work done uninterrupted, knowing that my son is in safe hands and enjoying himself.
“The staff there are fantastic with children, and it's a great feeling to return to a smiling baby!"
Cheeky Little Monkeys Play Centre isn't just a place for play; it's a sanctuary for parents and a source of joy for children, where the essence of childhood is celebrated every day.
