Spaces designed to feel calm, safe and worth exploring

Children read a room before they trust it. Ours are set up with natural materials, room to move and clear sight lines so kaiako can be close by without hovering.

Inside and outside

What your child will use every day

Large natural playground

Grass, garden beds, climbing, sand and shade, with plenty of space for running and quiet corners for those who need them.

Separate nursery spaces

A dedicated sleep room and a safe, uncluttered floor area for crawlers and new walkers, away from busier preschool play.

On site kitchen

Meals are cooked here each day, so children smell lunch being made and help set the table.

Sun safe and secure

Shade sails, sunscreen and hats provided, plus a fully fenced site with secure entry and off street parking for drop off.
