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 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.

What a wonderful place. My granddaughter has been there since she was 4 months old. Wonderful individual care and growth. Caring loving staff members. She always wants to go to “school” and is soo happy there. Best decision ever.
We tried over several daycares in the area but weren’t satisfied until we enrolled our daughter in Granny Mouse. Our daughter absolutely LOVE this daycare. You will not find a more compassionate, caring group of teachers and staff. The owner Mrs Tanya Swanapoel is very easy to talk to and the teachers genuinely love each and every child. The facility is safe, secure, clean and the playground is awesome. Their lunches are delicious and healthy and their curriculum is outstanding. Our daughter learn so much and is advanced compared to her peers, it has proven so beneficial in our daughters growth. I’d give more than 5 stars if I could.
Thank you, Granny Mouse, for being the best place for my little one. It’s never easy to trust others with something as precious as your child, but you’ve made that leap so much easier for me. Knowing how immensely well she is being cared for brings me so much peace. Your love, attention, and dedication mean the world to us.
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.
