Our Tui Room welcomes children aged from 3 months to 2 ½ years old. We have a lovely calm indoor environment that flows outside to a space where children have a chance to explore their surroundings. We even have real grass in our playground. We follow care routines from home to make the transition to the centre environment a smooth process for both the child and family. Our activities are broad and are based on children’s interests, developing needs and fun.
In the Tui room we use Baby Sign to communicate with our children so they can communicate their wants and needs. We work closely with our Titoki room to provide a transition programme that meets the needs of all children. Baby sign is also used in the Titoki room to continue that form of communication and help our children with English as a second language communicate as well.

Discover our unique rooms
Our centre has two learning rooms with age-appropriate resources to best cater for our children as they learn nd grow at each stage of their development.
Tui Room(3 months - 2.5 years old)
Titoki Room(2 - 6 years old)
Our Titoki Room is for children aged from 2 years until they leave for school. We have a fantastic spacious environment with plenty of room for our children to explore and learn.
Our large outdoor area features a magnificent cherry tree, which provides plenty of shade in the summer and creates a magical atmosphere when the breeze blows. The tree is very special to us as it was planted when the centre first opened.
Within this rooms,we incorporate our Set for School principles into our everyday experiences, supporting children in a holistic way. We provide an environment that is respectful, supportive, educational and challenging where children are encouraged to be leaders, supporting others with self-help skills, settling, relationships and education.
