Welcome to Granny Mouse Day Care Centre, Benoni’s trusted haven for little ones from 3 months old. We understand that entrusting your baby to someone else is a significant decision, and we strive to create a warm, nurturing “home away from home” experience.
Just like home
Established in 2006, Granny Mouse was born from a genuine need for specialized, reliable baby care in the Benoni community. Over the years, the centre has evolved under the dedicated leadership of passionate individuals. In 2019, Heide-Merie and Henno Verster brought their expertise to our established services, and now, Tanya and Rhyno Swanepoel carry forward the centre’s vision with renewed energy and commitment.
What truly sets Granny Mouse apart is is the heartfelt dedication of Tanya and Rhyno. They’ve not only inherited the valuable knowledge and skills from previous owners but also bring their own unique perspective as parents of two young daughters. Tanya and Rhyno understand the delicate balance between professional care and the loving environment your baby deserves. Their firsthand experience in raising young children, coupled with their deep understanding of child development, ensures that every baby receives exceptional, individualized attention.
At Granny Mouse, we’re not just providing daycare; we’re creating a nurturing foundation for your baby’s early years. We’re dedicated to fostering a sense of security, encouraging exploration, and celebrating every milestone, all within a comforting, home-like atmosphere.

The Granny Mouse team loves each baby as their own. The individual love and care they have for each baby is something remarkable to experience as a parent. We cannot thank the Granny Mouse team enough for all that they do for our little girl. We recommend Granny Mouse Baby House in a heartbeat.
Wow, what a treat we were in for. Granny Mouse Baby House has by far exceeded our expectations. Now, at 19 months old, our little girl loves her school so much. In my opinion, she is far more developed for her age due to all the kinder kinetics activities they participate in and the individual care that the babies receive. She has a set routine, very healthy eating habit and an Afrikaans and English vocabulary that surprises us every day. To say “dankie” after she has received something is such a precious gift to experience as parents.
They go above and beyond! Our little Girl joined Granny Mouse Baby House at 5 months old, when I had to return to work. As First Time parents it was important for us to look for a day care where we could leave our baby in trusting and caring hands, confident that our little girl would get individual love and attention. We wanted a small day care which also provided food and routine in order to make it a little bit easier for us.
The new owners are so loving and caring with the babies as well as the parents. They provide excellent support and I can leave my baby at Granny Mouse knowing that he would be cared for as if he was their own. They are definitely turning this day care in the right direction. (Another plus point is that the co-owner is a kinderkineticist.)
My baby’s home away from home where I can go to work in the day without worrying about her. I know she is in good hands and cared for. She doesn’t want to come home in the afternoons she has so much fun with her friends and teachers.
