About "Roots and Boots"
Roots and Boots is a playgroup provider listed on KakiList as islandwide coverage, with its registered centre address at 1 Scotts Rd, Singapore 228208.

No Google reviews are currently available, so independent rating signals cannot be assessed at this stage. Monthly fees are positioned at a mid-range price point ($$).
Families considering Roots and Boots should begin by enquiring about available slots for their intended start month, as playgroup places can fill up ahead of peak intake periods. When you make contact — via phone or the online enquiry form — ask about the child-to-caregiver ratio, the structure of a typical daily session, and the settling-in approach for young children joining for the first time. It is also worth confirming whether the centre accepts ECDA subsidies for eligible Singapore citizen children, as this can meaningfully reduce out-of-pocket costs.
As a practical next step, reach out through the phone or enquiry form listed on this page to confirm current slot availability, monthly fees, and any registration requirements before planning a centre visit. Listing data is incomplete — contact "Roots and Boots" directly to confirm details.

Roots and Boots is priced at a mid-range level ($$) on a monthly recurring basis, though the exact monthly fee is not publicly listed and should be confirmed directly with the centre. In addition to the monthly programme fee, families should ask about a one-off registration fee, a refundable deposit (typically equivalent to one to two months of fees), and any charges for uniforms or personal accident insurance. Childcare and playgroup fees in Singapore are GST-exempt, so the figure quoted should reflect the full amount payable. See the full childcare cost guide for Singapore →
Singapore citizen children enrolled in licensed childcare or playgroup programmes may be eligible for the Basic Subsidy — up to S$600 per month for infant care and S$300 per month for childcare — administered through ECDA. Working mothers who clock 56 or more hours of work per month may additionally qualify for the Working Mother's Child Relief or associated working mother subsidies. Lower-income families may access further means-tested support, with combined subsidies potentially reaching up to S$710 per month depending on household income. Permanent resident children are eligible for partial subsidies. Subsidy quantum and eligibility criteria are updated periodically, so check directly with ECDA at ecda.gov.sg for the most current figures before enrolment. Confirm with Roots and Boots whether they are an ECDA-approved centre before applying.
Waitlists at popular playgroup and childcare centres in Singapore can stretch from three to twelve months, particularly for infant care. The peak intake period is typically January, aligned with the start of the school year, so families are advised to begin enquiring well ahead of their intended start date. To secure a place, centres typically require a registration fee and, in some cases, a deposit that confirms the booking. Contact Roots and Boots directly via phone or the enquiry form to ask about current availability, the registration process, and any waiting list arrangements that may be in place.
