About Muckypups
Muckypups is a playgroup provider based at 88 East Coast Road, Singapore, listed as KakiList verified and rated 4.8 out of 5 across 158 Google reviews — a robust sample that lends reasonable weight to that rating. Fees are priced in the mid-range tier ($$) on a monthly recurring basis. Parents should note that Muckypups does not currently hold an ECDA licence, which is the regulatory standard for childcare and playgroup providers in Singapore; families are encouraged to confirm the programme's regulatory status directly with the centre before enrolment.
When enquiring, ask about available slots for your intended start month, the age range each session caters to, the child-to-educator ratio, and how the daily routine is structured. It is worth asking about the settling-in period and what support is provided for children who take longer to adjust. Because Muckypups does not appear on the ECDA licensed centre list at this time, government childcare subsidies — including the Basic Subsidy and Working Mother's Child Care Subsidy — are unlikely to apply; verify this directly with ECDA or the centre before assuming any subsidy entitlement.
To take the next step, contact Muckypups by phone or through the enquiry form on their listing, ask about current session availability, and arrange a visit to the centre at 88 East Coast Road before committing.
Visit the centre in person, meet the lead teacher, and read the parent contract before signing.

We celebrated our daughter’s 3rd birthday at Kaboodle, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience! Everything was perfectly organised by the Kaboodle team — from the food and drinks to the decorations and play setup. We literally just had to show up and enjoy the celebration. The soft block play area was a huge hit with the little ones, keeping them happily engaged throughout. The food was excellent and well appreciated by all our guests, with thoughtful options for both kids and adults. Highly recommend Kaboodle to anyone planning a stress-free, fun-filled birthday party for their child. It’s an ideal venue for kids of any age! 🎉
My son’s 5th birthday party was conducted at Kaboodle. And it was a memorable party, with lots of fun, play and food. Even with large guests list (around 70), the kids had the space to enjoy their open ended games and the adults enjoyed their conversations and beverages. As hosts, i enjoyed the party while the Kaboodle Team took care of the logistics. An aspect I liked about the Kaboodle party is the attention given to the adults , with specific menu and unlimited coffee/tea. I am thankful to the Kaboodle Team for making my son’s party a grand success 👍
We had our girl’s 5 year birthday at Kaboodle, and it’s been a great experience. Jin and her team made everything a breeze for us, setting up the table, putting up the balloons, serving the guest food and drink while I was able to enjoy the party. The kids absolutely loved building forts with the blocks, while the smaller ones can play at the sensory play area. Staff helped with the cake cutting, crowd control and serving the food to the kids too. Would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a fun experience for the kids and stress free experience for adults!
Kaboodle is my son's favorite playground and we decided to have a birthday party there one week before the party date. Even though it was a super last minute, Kaboodle kindly helped us make it happen! With 45 children and adults, we were expecting some issues will arise but the entire party was as smooth as possible. Amazing! The block playing area was beautifully arranged before the party started so that the children were super excited when they arrived. While they were busy constructing and destroying blocks, adults could enjoy the fresh snacks and drinks. Many of our guests commented how wonderfully Kaboodle prepared the food. The home-made hummus was a winner 🏆 After 1.5 hours into the party, we had a cake ceremony followed by kids' food. Kaboodle took care of everything - taking pictures, singing the happy birthday song, blowing candles, distributing pasta, cutting the cake and make sure everyone could taste it, etc. so that we could relax and enjoy the party 👍 Thank you, Jin and the staff at Kaboodle, for making our special day even more special! We will be back 🥰
We held our son's birthday celebration at Kaboodle and it was a really good experience. The space is already a cosy and beautiful set-up, so we didn't feel the need to add on anymore decorations save for a happy birthday bunting. Jin and team did a great job with the food, which was wholesome yet tasty! Several of my boy's guests lauded the baked pasta while I personally really liked the hummus and the beautiful, fresh fruits. Not to mention, the drinks were plentiful too. I was worried at first that the boys might get bored of the blocks play area after a while, but by the end of the party, I honestly believe they could have gone on for another hour or two. It was a great 2.5 hour session of screen-free play. I also wasn't expecting Jin and her team to set up the blocks so beautifully at the start, knowing that the blocks would surely be knocked over by the children in no time. But they took the effort to set up the blocks in a really inviting manner, and I was really impressed by their dedication. My boys and their friends had a really good time at their Kaboodle party, thank you to the team!

Muckypups is priced at the mid-range tier ($$) with fees collected on a monthly recurring basis. When you enquire, ask for a full breakdown that includes any one-off registration fee, the deposit amount (commonly equivalent to one to two months' fees), and whether uniform or insurance costs are charged separately. Childcare fees in Singapore are GST-exempt, so no GST should be added to the quoted monthly rate. Bear in mind that fee structures can vary by session length, age group, and number of sessions per week, so confirm the exact figure for the specific programme your child would attend.

Government childcare subsidies in Singapore — including the Basic Subsidy (up to S$600 per month for infant care, S$300 for childcare), the Working Mother's Child Care Subsidy, and the Additional Subsidy for lower-income families — are administered by ECDA and are generally only available at ECDA-licensed centres. Muckypups does not currently appear to hold an ECDA licence, which means these subsidies are unlikely to be claimable here. Confirm this directly with both the centre and ECDA before making financial assumptions. Singapore citizen children are eligible for the full range of subsidies at qualifying centres; Permanent Resident children typically receive partial subsidies. Subsidy quantum and eligibility criteria are updated periodically, so refer to the ECDA website for the most current figures.
Playgroup and childcare slots in Singapore can fill up several months in advance, particularly for morning sessions and younger age bands. It is generally advisable to enquire at least three to six months before your intended start date. January is the peak intake month for most programmes, so slots for that period tend to go earliest. Contact Muckypups directly by phone or enquiry form to check current availability for your child's age group and preferred session times. Ask what is required to secure a place — typically a registration fee and sometimes a deposit — and get confirmation of your slot in writing before making any payment.
If Muckypups isn't the right fit, these are other playgroup providers on KakiList worth shortlisting. All are independently listed — no affiliate fees, no "featured" sponsorships.
