Millie's House Early Learning Centre is a childcare centre at 85 Armagh Street in the Christchurch Central City, for babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers. It is one of eight centres across Wellington, Lower Hutt and Christchurch. The website describes each centre as safe, happy and homelike, with an emphasis on fun, positive social interactions, choice and exploration. The centre is open Monday to Friday, from 7am to 5.30pm. To enrol, you fill in the enrolment form, and the team will be in touch. The website says play is the child's work, and that each centre has its own philosophy, which the team revisits at meetings.
Reviewers praise the supportive staff and the nurturing environment. One parent says their child has been at the centre since three months old. Another says two daughters now share the same teachers, which makes settling in easier. A parent describes a child who came home excited, sharing drawings, crafts and songs. Reviewers also mention the outdoor area, the nursery and the healthy food, and the centre has a chef. One parent says a shy child became more outgoing. None of the nearby childcare centres with ten or more reviews rates higher than this one. Kindercare Learning Centres, 0.8 km away, is one of them.
