Nursery, 0 to 2 years
Leaving your baby in someone else's care, without the worry
Our nursery is small, calm and led by kaiako who specialise in under twos. Your baby keeps their own routine, has one primary kaiako and you hear about every sleep, bottle and milestone.
Two Months Free Childcare, across the whole centre. Terms and eligibility apply. Contact Wonderhub for full details.
How we care for babies
Responsive care, not a centre timetable
Under twos need consistency more than activities. Everything in our nursery is built around that.
Primary kaiako
One familiar adult leads your baby's settling, feeding, nappy changes and daily communication with you.
Your sleep routine
We follow the sleep pattern that works at home, in a separate quiet sleep space, and we never wake a sleeping baby.
Safe space to move
Low, open shelving, natural materials and clear floor space so crawlers and new walkers can explore safely.
Daily written updates
Sleeps, bottles, meals, nappies and the little moments, recorded and shared with you every day.
In the nursery
Small moments that matter most
Settling in
A gentle start, at your baby's pace
No two babies settle the same way, so we do not rush it. Most families do two or three short visits before the first full day.
- A pre-enrolment visit where you stay the whole time
- Short visits so your baby meets their primary kaiako
- We collect your routine in detail before day one
- Photos and messages on the first day so you know how it is going
- You are welcome to phone or drop in to feed at any time
Included every day
- Nappies, wipes and nappy cream
- Morning tea, cooked lunch and afternoon tea
- Bedding, laundered on site
- Sunscreen and sun hats
- Formula preparation and breast milk storage
You bring a named water bottle, a named formula bottle if your baby has formula, a pacifier if they use one, a change of clothes and any comfort item your baby loves.
Meals included
Baby food cooked on site, at no extra cost
You never pay extra for food at Wonderhub. Our cook prepares everything on site from scratch, including baby food for pēpi who are starting solids, alongside bottle and formula preparation.
Cooked and baked on site
Every meal and every bit of baking is made from scratch by our own cook in our kitchen, so children smell lunch being made and help set the table.
No extra cost, ever
Morning tea, a cooked lunch and afternoon tea are all included in your fees. Nothing is billed separately.
Allergies catered for
Dietary requirements, allergies and cultural preferences are planned for individually.
No lunchbox needed
No packing food the night before and no daily lunchbox rush. Just bring your child.
On the menu
- Morning tea, cooked lunch and afternoon tea, all included
- Baby food cooked and pureed on site by our own cook
- Formula prepared to your instructions and breast milk stored safely
- First foods introduced at your pace, in step with home
- Allergies and dietary needs planned for individually
- What your baby ate and drank recorded for you each day
Nursery questions
What parents of babies ask us most
How many babies are in the nursery?
Our nursery is intentionally small so babies get unhurried, responsive care. Ratios are better than the licensing requirement for under twos, and each baby has a primary kaiako.
Do you follow our home sleep and feed routine?
Yes. We follow your baby's own rhythm for sleeping, feeding and comfort rather than a centre timetable, and we record each sleep, bottle and nappy change for you.
Can I send breast milk or formula?
Absolutely. Breast milk and formula are stored and prepared following our food safety procedures, and you are welcome to come in and feed your baby at any time.
What do we need to bring?
A named water bottle, a named formula bottle if your baby has formula, a pacifier if they use one, a change of clothes and any comfort item they love. Nappies, wipes, sunscreen, bedding and all meals are included, and baby food is cooked on site for pēpi starting solids.
