A quick overview

Routines 

We aim to keep your child’s individual routines as close to the home environment as possible.

Sleep and Rest

Children will be supervised at all times while sleeping or resting.

Food

The centre will provide nutritious meals for morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea and a late snack as required. A list of foods will be displayed daily on our notice board. Any allergies are to be informed of and will be catered for as best as possible.

Clothing

Children are encouraged to wear old clothing to the centre to allow them to explore with paint and water etc freely, without worry of getting dirty. Aprons are provided however these are not child-proof! The centre takes no responsibility for lost or damaged clothing, but does encourage all items to be named. We keep a lost property box for any un-named items.

Toileting

Nappies are to be provided by parents. The centre supplies wet wipes, however you are welcome to bring your own. All creams and powders are to be supplied by parents and given to staff to store appropriately. Please let our staff know if your child is toilet training so we can support this in the centre.

Arrival and Departures

For the safety of your child, and legal reasons, we require parents and caregivers to sign in and out when dropping off and collecting children.

Settling

We have an open door policy where parents and whanau are welcome to stay at the centre with their child at any time. As the settling process is different for every child; parents are free to discuss their child’s day with our staff and call to check on their children.
