Welcome to
Nurture Cottage
Supporting children to grow, connect and thrive through play.
Nurture Cottage is an early childhood practice in Goulburn, specialising in early intervention and developmental support for children. We also offer facilitated community play experiences that provide children and families with opportunities to play, explore and connect.
Our team of qualified Early Childhood Teachers and Play Therapists brings expertise in child development, play and neuro-affirming practice. We work in partnership with children, their families and other professionals, tailoring support to each child's strengths, needs and goals.
A different kind of early childhood practice
We believe early childhood should be filled with wonder, curiosity, connection and joy.
Nurture Cottage was intentionally created to feel different from a traditional clinical or institutional setting. Rather than a sterile space filled with equipment and bright, clinical rooms, our practice feels more like a second home — warm, welcoming and thoughtfully designed around the way children naturally learn and play.
We build strong, trusting relationships with children and use their interests, strengths and natural curiosity as the foundation for learning. By making experiences motivating, meaningful and engaging, we create opportunities for children to develop new skills while feeling confident, capable and connected.
