A Ministry of Education licensed daycare centre on Whetu Place in Mairangi Bay, North Shore, for children from birth to five years. The centre describes itself as a home-away-from-home daycare with qualified ECE teachers. It has one teacher for every three babies under two, and one for every six children aged two to five, with up to 40 children in total. Families say their children learn words, numbers and songs, and that the planned programme includes play, music, art and outdoor activities.
The centre is open 7.30am to 5.30pm, Monday to Friday. Children aged three and over can use the Government's 20 Hours ECE, which covers up to 20 hours a week. FamilyBoost and WINZ support is available for all ages. Meet the teachers, see the rooms and ask questions at a visit, with no obligation. As at 2026, children starting in September 2026 get eight weeks at half price.
Parents praise the warm, patient teachers, the daily updates, and how quickly children settle in. One family says the teachers record children's progress and share ways to support good behaviour at home. Another says their child grew up at the centre from age two, through to school.
The centre is at 3 Whetu Place in Mairangi Bay. Our pick in Mairangi Bay for a family who wants a small-group daycare with a planned programme.
