Meet our Childcare Manager at Cuddles Thornlie
Hi I’m Stacey,
I joined the Cuddles family in 2022 with almost 10 years of experience within the child care industry and have loved every minute of working my way up from Room Leader, 2IC and now Centre Manager.
As a mum to three beautiful boys I believe in creating a home away from home for your little ones, where they feel loved, secure, and encouraged to explore the world around them. I understand the importance of those early years in shaping a child's future, and it has always been my mission to make those years full of joy, learning, and positive experiences.
You and your child will be in the safe and loving hands of our extraordinary team of Educators, who share my great passion in watching our Cuddles Kids learn and grow, and most importantly - have fun! I strongly believe that the early years and learning through play sets the foundations for life-long development.
I love building connections with families and children, and listening to their needs. And I look forward to welcoming you and your family for a tour of Cuddles Thornlie!
Stacey Fowler
Centre Manager
Babies
At Cuddles Day Care in Thornlie, our Babies Room is a warm, nurturing space designed to support your little one’s development during the most crucial years of early life. We create a calm, loving environment that caters to each baby’s individual feeding and sleep routines, with soft lighting and soothing music in our cosy cot room, and an age-appopriate outdoor babies yard. Our experienced educators build secure attachments with each child, encouraging trust and emotional confidence. Through sensory play, tummy time, and gentle exploration, babies begin to develop motor skills, curiosity, and early social awareness - all at their own pace.
Toddlers
At Cuddles Early Learning in Thornlie, our two Toddler Rooms are vibrant, engaging spaces where busy little minds and bodies are encouraged to explore, discover, and grow. Each room opens directly onto its own age-appropriate outdoor learning environment, allowing for seamless indoor/outdoor play through our open door policy. These outdoor areas are thoughtfully designed to extend learning beyond the classroom - supporting gross motor development, sensory exploration, and imaginative play in a natural setting. Inside, toddlers are rapidly developing their language, thinking, and social skills, and our programs are tailored to nurture this exciting stage. We introduce early cognitive concepts through hands-on activities, storytelling, songs, and play-based learning. Foundational phonics are gently woven into each day through letter sounds, name recognition, and interactive group time. Our educators guide toddlers in developing independence, confidence, and communication, while fostering a strong sense of belonging in a safe and stimulating environment.
Thornlie Pre-Kindergarten Program
At Cuddles Childcare Centre in Thornlie, our pre-kindy program for children aged 3 to 5 is thoughtfully designed to nurture early learning and enhance school readiness.

Our qualified and highly experienced early learning educators create a warm, stimulating environment that encourages independence, curiosity and confidence, ensuring your child transitions smoothly into kindergarten.
