Kakariki Nursery

We provide a homely, nurturing space for children aged 3 months - 2 years, (licensed for 12) in a beautiful nursery separate from the over 2 year olds. With an excellent staff ratio of 1:4, our infants experience loving and respectful care with an experienced team of teachers who are passionate about the early years of human development.

Kakariki Over 2's

We provide a stimulating, fun and varied environment for 2 - 6 year olds, (licensed for 30) with an emphasis on the natural world and personal individuality. Our children have supervised access to a 3 acre native forest onsite with bush walks. This provides plenty of opportunities for physical and cognitive development as part of their everyday experiences to help foster a love of the natural world and respect for each other.
