The crew

Who’s who at Little Sprouts

Story scenes with subtitles, plenty of attitude, and a twist in Chapter 4.

Peanut

That’s you: the new kid, dropped off on a Monday morning with big plans.

Big Benny Bottles

Age two and three-quarters. Runs the daycare underground from a high-chair throne.

Knuckles

Benny’s right hand. Sizes you up at drop-off and hands out the first jobs.

Specs

The smart one. Gadgets, plans and a lot of sighing.

Rosie “Two Teeth”

Boss of the Crib Crew, the rivals who run the sandbox yard.

Director Grimsby

Runs Little Sprouts Daycare with an iron clipboard. At five stars she comes for you herself.

Heat

Five pacifier stars

Get spotted and your heat rises. The higher it goes, the more grown-ups come looking.

1–2 stars

Nannies search and give chase. Get scooped up and it’s the time-out corner.

3–4 stars

The chase gets faster and the search circle gets wider. Much harder to shake.

5 stars

Sirens glow at the edges of the screen and Director Grimsby herself comes out of her office. Run for the getaway car.

Lose the heat

Break line of sight, duck into a hiding spot, or floor it out of the search circle on a ride-on. A BONK makes a grown-up stumble for a moment, but it raises your heat.

Toys, not tools

Splash, tag, getaway

Everyone gets splashed, nobody gets hurt. The worst that happens is a soaked diaper and a time-out.

The Squirt

Your toy water pistol. Hit FIRE and it locks on to the nearest rival in front of you. Splash!

Tank

A ride-on toy car with real getaway energy. Race the playground and drift down the hallway.

Cookies and rep

Earned by playing: finish missions and earn stars. Nothing to buy.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Is it really offline?

Yes. The whole story plays on your phone with no account and no internet connection needed. Ads and the optional purchase need a connection when they appear, but the game itself does not.

Is it free?

Daycare Dons is free to download. It shows ads from Google AdMob and has two optional extras: Remove Ads (a one-time purchase) and Daycare VIP (a subscription: no ads, a daily cookie gift, double mission cookies and a golden onesie). The whole story can be finished without either.

Is it pay-to-win?

No. The whole story is free to finish. Cookies and rep are earned by playing, and nothing you can buy makes the nannies easier or the heat lower.

Where do ads show up?

One banner on the title screen, never during play. A full-screen ad can appear between missions, never in your first two missions, at most every other mission and at least three minutes apart, and never during play or a story scene. Rewarded ads are always your choice: watch one to double the cookies from a mission. Remove Ads turns off the banner and the between-mission ads.

Is it for kids?

No. It is a cartoon comedy for teens and grown-ups who remember nap time, with mild cartoon mischief: toy water pistols, splashes and time-outs. Nobody gets hurt. It is not for children under 13.

What phones does it run on?

Android phones. Low, Medium and High graphics settings let it run smoothly on older phones and look its best on newer ones.

Where is my progress saved?

Only on your phone. There is no account and no cloud save. NEW GAME on the title screen starts over, and uninstalling deletes everything. The Remove Ads purchase and the Daycare VIP subscription are tied to your Google Play account and can be restored.
