About Coffs Coast Family Care
Serving the Coffs Coast for over 40 years, Coffs Coast Family Care (formerly Coffs Harbour Family Day Care) prioritizes small group settings, natural play-based learning, and high-quality early education. Since 1984, we've been a trusted provider of family day care, supported by a dedicated team of six staff members who oversee a network of local educators.
Our service extends across the greater Coffs Coast region, from South Grafton and Ulmarra in the north, to Macksville and Nambucca in the south, and Nana Glen and Bellingen in the west. We are committed to offering reliable, flexible, and affordable child care options while providing comprehensive support to our educators.
With deep expertise in Early Childhood Education, our staff ensures the best standards of care. Currently, we offer Family Day Care, In-Venue Family Day Care, and At-Home Care, tailored to meet the unique needs of each child. Looking ahead, we aim to expand our services to include Out of School Hours Care (OSHC) and Play Groups, further enriching the lives of local families.
We're here to support you and your family. If you have any question, or want to learn more about our services, don't hesitate to get in touch.

What our Happy Parents Say
Kylie is such an incredibly encouraging and inclusive educator. Her kindness and patience has nurtured my son through major stages of his young life and we are so grateful to have her in all our lives.
Joshua
I can’t thank Helen enough for providing my son’s care since he was 6 months old. Taking him to Hel’s is like dropping him off to Grandmas house for the day. Hel feels like family and I appreciate all the messy play, huge backyard for my son to explore and the love of music that is being shared with the children.
Coffs Coast Family Care is a great, affordable service that I would recommend to anyone and everyone.
Michelle T.
We have used this service for both of our children – both with Helen. She is amazing! Our son loves going to Helen’s, it’s a second home for him. He has made great friends there too. We can’t express enough how much we appreciate Helen and Coffs FDC for caring for our kids in a home environment. Highly recommend using this service!!
