Flexible Services
Think of CocoRio as a personalised, one-to-one kids club, tailored to your little one’s interests and development. Not only are we reliable, but we are also flexible. Whether you need a one-off session or a whole week’s worth, we’re the ones for you. We even offer a nanny share service.
With this service, you can share bookings with 2–3 family members or friends, making it more affordable while still providing the same high-quality, creative childcare.
