Such a peaceful and beautiful place. I could get work done knowing my son was well taken care of. The staff is so professional and friendly.

From mothers who work here.
Absolutely beautiful, calm, quiet and thoughtfully designed, with just the right amount of distance from my baby to work effectively while still feeling close.

Mama Haus gave me an opportunity to reset, connect with other moms, grab a good cuppa and finally get some work done. A space where moms feel seen.

Will my baby be okay?
It is the first thing every mother asks us. Here is exactly how we look after your child while you work.
Trained, vetted nannies
Every nanny is ECD-qualified, CPR and first-aid trained, and background-checked before she joins us.
One nanny for every 3 little ones
Always. We keep the nursery small on purpose, so every child gets gentle, close attention.
You never leave the building
You work just down the hall. Pop in to feed, cuddle or check in any time. If your baby needs you, your nanny comes to find you.
A gentle, familiar routine
Feeds, naps in cots in a quiet room, sensory play, music, story time and the garden, at your baby's pace.
Healthy, happy little ones
Children with a fever, vomiting, diarrhoea, an eye infection or a contagious rash stay home and rest. Not sure? Message us before you come.
Feeding made easy
A feeding station with a fridge and microwave, plus quiet pumping pods, so bottles and meals are ready when they are.
Meet your nannies
Trained, not just kind.
ECD-qualified, CPR and first-aid trained, and background-checked. They greet you at the nursery door on your first morning, help your little one settle, and come to find you whenever your baby needs you.
Come and meet them

Is Mama Haus a daycare?
No. Mama Haus is a coworking space with professional childcare on site. You stay in the building the whole time and work while your little one is cared for nearby. No drop-off, no separation.
What if my baby cries or needs me?
Your nanny comes to find you, or you simply walk over. Take as long as you need to settle your little one. Most mothers find that they and their baby settle faster than expected after the first visit.
Can I leave the building?
No. You work in the space while your child is cared for nearby. If you need to step out, take your little one with you or arrange it with us in advance.
What if my child is unwell?
To keep every child healthy, little ones with a fever, vomiting, diarrhoea, an eye infection, a contagious rash, a persistent cough or difficulty breathing stay home and rest. If you are unsure, message us before your visit and we will help.
What do I need to bring?
Nappies, wipes, a change of clothes, milk or formula, and lunch and snacks for you both. We have a feeding station with a fridge and microwave, quiet pumping pods, and coffee, teas and water all day.
Can I bring two children?
Yes. A half day for two little ones is R350, and every plan has two- and three-child options. Choose it when you book.
What are your hours?
Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm. Please arrive by 9am so your little one can settle in. In December we are open until Wednesday 23 December (closed on the 16th) and back on Monday 4 January.
Can I work here without a baby?
Yes. Mama Haus Desks is open to anyone: R250 a day or R2,990 a month, with Wi-Fi, coffee and parking included.
Bring the laptop. Bring the baby.
Your work in one room. Your little one cared for in the next.
