Welcome to 3 Bears Cottage, a family-owned and operated early learning service proudly serving the Coffs Harbour community for over three decades. Owned by local mum Renae Donovan, who has raised six children of her own—each attending the service at different times. “We understand the needs of busy families firsthand”.
Conveniently located just minutes from the Coffs Harbour CBD, we make mornings easier by providing everything your child needs during the day, helping to reduce stress for families.
We’re open 52 weeks a year, Monday to Friday, 7:30am to 6:00pm, including school holidays, so you’re never left scrambling for alternative care. We welcome children from six weeks to school age, with dedicated rooms for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers—all under one roof to simplify drop-offs.
At 3 Bears Cottage, we value strong partnerships with families and the wider community. Our educators work closely with parents to build trust and ensure children feel a sense of belonging from their very first day. We also connect with local organisations to support continuous learning and quality care for every child.
